February 2013 Issue of Nutrition in Clinical Practice
If you share Nutrition in Clinical Practice Editor in Chief Jeanne Hasse’s fascination with the relationship between the liver and nutrition or if obesity is a growing problem in your clinical practice, you should immediately sign up for A.S.P.E.N.’s April 10 webinar on “Obesity—Implications for Liver Disease and Transplantation.”
This webinar ties in well with the February 2013 issue of Nutrition in Clinical Practice (NCP) with its theme “Liver Disorders and Nutrition” and is moderated by Jeanette Hasse, PhD, RD, LD, FADA, CNSC. Hasse writes in an invited commentary in this issue of NCP, “I never cease to be amazed at how nutrition and the liver are closely intertwined—how one can be the cause of deficiencies in the other, or how improvements in one condition improve conditions in the other.”
Find out about these complex relationships at this month’s webinar. After attending the webinar, participants should have an enhanced ability to evaluate the role of obesity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, analyze the rate of obesity in liver transplant patients, and more. For this webinar, A.S.P.E.N. has brought together some of the top experts on this topic. David Burns, MD, will present “Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Pathogenesis, Treatment and Role of Nutrition”; Hasse will discuss “Obesity and Liver Transplantation: A Weighty Issue”; and “Bariatric Surgery in Liver Disease and Transplantation: Options and Opportunities” will be presented by Sara DiCecco, MS, RD, LD.
1.5 CE credits are available for live participation, and the webinar will be recorded for future viewing and made available on A.S.P.E.N.’s eLearning Center.
