... Abstract Intending to stimulate the discussion about the future development of psychosomatic departments, 7 theses are put forward: (1) psychosomatic medicine as a service stabilizes the system of physical medicine. (2) The comprehension of disease in psychosomatic medicine is in complete...

.... They demonstrated that once a rapid myelination phase is attained in the language centers of the brain, enhancement of vocabulary and language performance followed suit. Recent researches utilizing more advanced neuroimaging techniques developed in the past decade have gathered interesting data on developmental...

... that an orderly progression from an immature neonatal microbiome to a mature adult state is preferable to delayed or over-rapid development. This can be parameterized as a “microbiome development trajectory”. Diet modifies early life microbiome development and is the principal modifiable factor to this end...

... qualified medical supervision. While eating a plant-based diet may be good for one’s health and the environment, there may be issues with nutritional deficiencies, especially in the areas of iron, iodine, vitamin B12, zinc, and vitamin D. To avoid developmental problems and guarantee healthy development...

... the nature, the structure, and the composition of sorbent materials and characterize the mechanisms of the adsorption process. Progressive improvements have been obtained from the original aluminosilicates and porous carbons with the use of new synthetic polymeric materials. New developments now allow...

... Abstract The development of the human dentition is prone to disruption due to its delicate and complex nature – including variations in tooth number and anatomical form and in the characteristics of enamel, dentine, and cementum. This chapter will focus on developmental defects of dental enamel...

... Abstract The early development of taste and food pleasure plays an important role in children and has long-lasting influences on subsequent food preferences and choices. Infants are born with a surprisingly sensitive sense of taste – they have more widely distributed taste buds (about 10,000...

... the exocrine pancreas and the liver. Here we will outline the development of the complex structure of the gastrointestinal system and describe how it performs its primary function: the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Gastrointestinal Development The development of the gastrointestinal tract...

... Infant microbiota Colonization Mode of birth Key Messages Early gut microbiota colonization is crucial for infant development and health programming. Maternal microbiota is the most relevant microbial source for infant microbiota. There are perinatal factors including mode...

... are at risk of not reaching their full developmental potential [ 2 ]. The multiple overlapping adversities faced by mothers and children living in the context of poverty and food insecurity compromise the health, wellbeing, and normal growth and development of infants and children, even before they are born...

..., and hyperuricemia is recognized as a cause of development of hypertension, glomerulosclerosis, and interstitial renal fibrosis [ 22 ]. Interestingly, apart from SCr or eGFR, also evaluation of proteinuria may provide useful information in case of PFCS-induced nephrotoxicity. Negative correlations between PFCS...

... Behavioural and Neural Development Animal Studies The developmental influence of the microbiome is often not explicitly acknowledged in germ-free studies. However, given the fact that the germ-free condition must be maintained throughout the developmental window, it is likely an important factor...
