Pediatric Nutrition Rosen von Rosenstein, Nils. The Diseases of Children and Their Remedies. Translated into English by Andrew Sparrman, M.D. London: T. Cadell, 1776. Nils Rosen von Rosenstein (1706-1773) wrote the first modern textbook of pediatrics and included remarkably modern instructions for artificial feeding of infants with diluted cow's milk, advising appropriate hygienic precautions. He laid the foundation of pediatrics as a specialty and gave an impetus to research which influenced the future course of pediatrics. When the last Swedish edition was published in 1851, a total of at least twenty-five editions in eight different languages had passed through the printing presses. Next Title

Pediatrics Nutrition Goal: To familiarize students with the differences in nutritional requirements between adults and children with respect to fluids, electrolytes, calories, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and trace elements. Objectives: 1. Given the age, weight and disease state of a child, calculate the daily maintenance fluids and total daily fluid requirement. 2. List the indications and monitoring parameters (with monitoring frequency) for a child receiving TPN. 3. Given the age, weight and disease state of a child, be able to describe how to initiate and advance TPN with respect to fluids, carbohydrates, protein and fat. 4. Given the age, weight, disease states and TPN order for a pediatric patient, determine if the TPN order is adequate in terms of supplying appropriate calories, protein, fats, electrolytes, minerals, vitamins and trace elements. 5. For both central and peripheral TPN, list the maximum concentration of dextrose that can be used. 6. Explain why neonates and young infants need special amino acid formulations.

Purpose:
The goal of this work is to understand Zn metabolism, homeostasis and status in a variety of human populations. Research has focused on various populations at possible risk for Zn deficiency, including breastfed infants, children, pregnant and lactating women and communities in many developing countries from Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America and Asia. Studies have also been conducted in well nourished populations in this country in order to better understand Zn homeostasis. Specialized facilities or techniques: Trace metal analyses of biological samples using Atomic Absoprtion Spectrophotometry (AAS)

Fellowship in Pediatric Nutrition
Individuals who have completed residency training may apply for a combined clinical and research fellowship in nutrition. Clinical training consists of 6 to 12 months of clinical service in pediatric nutrition and in related areas in adult medicine as appropriate to the trainee's interests. Content areas include inpatient nutrition support; outpatient assessment and treatment of growth and nutrition problems; breastfeeding assessment and management; obesity assessment and treatment. Trainees also have rotations with subspecialty clinics for conditions with nutrition-related problems, including cystic fibrosis, short gut syndrome and feeding intolerance, liver disease, diabetes and others.
Support for two years of research training is also available through a National Institutes of Health-funded Nutrition Training Grant (T32 DK07658-11; PI: K. M. Hambidge, MD). The objective of this program is to provide research training in the nutritional sciences to both physicians and basic scientists who demonstrate a commitment to a career in nutrition research. The foundation of nutrition research at the Center for Human Nutrition is the presence of program faculty with expertise in whole-body, tissue, cellular and molecular methodology. Areas of interest include obesity and energy balance, childhood eating behaviors, substrate utilization and gender-based differences and trace mineral nutrition and bioavailability, with emphasis on children and women of childbearing age in both the U.S. and in developing countries.

Just For Kids:
A Weight Management Program
Austin Regional Clinic offers a 10-week program for overweight children, ages 9-12, who want to learn how to change eating habits and control their weight. Just for Kids is a ten-session program developed at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco. At Austin Regional Clinic, the Just for Kids program is led by Cynthia Hanes, RD . Cynthia has 20 years' experience in helping children and adults with weight problems. This program will help children with weight problems, ages 9-12, learn to control their weight. Although we measure weight at the beginning and end of the program, not much weight will be lost in 10 weeks. Growing children lose weight very slowly. Their increasing height causes weight to go up at the same time a healthier lifestyle is causing it to decrease. Some children will lose weight during the program, and others will see a slowing of weight gain. Gradual improvements in weight will be seen as the children maintain their new habits. The following is a brief outline of some things that will be covered in each session: Session One: Introduction to program
Session Two: Liking your body
Session Three: Eating regular meals
Session Four: Why some people are heavier

    Before solid foods are introduced, it is essential that enzyme system in the intestine is ready to digest starches and non-milk proteins. When foods are added to baby’s diet, they should be introduced one at a time. Only small amounts should be given to start with. Mixtures of food should be avoided. The use of sugar, salt and other seasonings should generally be kept to a minimum. A wide variety of foods should be given to develop good eating habits. A child should not be forced to eat more than what he or she wants.

    1996 Missouri Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System
    Executive Summary
    The Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) is a national system established and maintained by the Division of Nutrition, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of this surveillance system is to provide major nutrition-related data on high-risk infants, children and adolescents from birth to 18 years of age. The surveillance population is characterized by the prevalence and trends of the following nutritional status indicators: 1) short stature 2) underweight 3) overweight 4) anemia and 5) low birth weight. In addition, the prevalence rate of the initiation and duration of breastfeeding of infants up to 6 months of age is reported. The Missouri PedNSS is composed of data obtained exclusively from infants and children participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Thus, this report describes the nutritional status of low-income children in Missouri from birth through 4 years of age during the calendar year 1996. A total of 208 WIC clinic sites submitted data to CDC to provide 221,320 records that were accepted for analyses. Sociodemographic Characteristics The 1996 surveillance population in Missouri consisted primarily of two ethnic groups White (71.5%) and Black (24.3%), with Hispanics comprising only 2.4%, Asians, 0.8%, American Indians, 0.2%, and All Others, 0.8%. Children under 1 year of age represented the largest group, followed by 3 to 4-year-olds, children 12 to 23 months and those aged 24 to 35 months (33.4, 27.0, 22.8 and 16.9%, respectively). This report will focus largely on four ethnic groups, White, Black, Hispanic and Asian.
