Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adequate nutrition is necessary for the optimal functioning of human bodies. Nutritional diseases affect not only mortality and morbidity, but also physical growth, intellectual development, school performance of children, and all aspects of human and social development. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are generally rare, but involve complex and challenging conditions that pose difficulties due to their diverse clinical presentations.
We invite colleagues involved in the management of children with nutritional diseases and IEMs to present their experience regarding clinical insights, diagnostic challenges, therapeutic interventions and adherence, the relationship with the gut microbiome, vitamin and mineral deficiencies in different nutritional diseases, growth problems, multidisciplinary strategies and cutting-edge research that advance our understanding of these complex disorders, psychological problems in children and their families and national health programs for IEMs. This Special Issue aims to catalyze improvements in accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for affected children and welcomes submissions of original research papers, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, case studies, and expert opinions.
