Synopsis He Smokes Like a Fish and Other Malaphors (Unintentional Idiom and Word Blends) by : David Hatfield

The term "malaphor," a combination of "metaphor" and "malaprop," was coined in 1976 by Lawrence Harrison, a senior executive in the State Department. Harrison found gems in endless bureaucratic meetings, such as "he said it off the top of his cuff" or "don't rock the trough." Author David Hatfield has been collecting malaphors for over thirty years. He Smokes like a Fish and Other Malaphors (Unintentional Idiom and Word Blends) is his offering to language enthusiasts everywhere. Malaphors know no bounds. From the man on the street to President Barack Obama, a truly diverse array of people is represented within these covers. Hatfield has mined for malaphors in every imaginable venue: movies, television, sports, music, the internet, at work, and on the street. People from all over the world have shared gems on Hatfield's website. So sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy this truly unique collection of verbal play and mix-ups.

Synopsis Introduction to Clinical Nutrition, Third Edition by : Vishwanath Sardesai

Dietary factors have been implicated in at least four of the ten leading causes of death in the U.S. (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke). Nevertheless, physicians frequently receive inadequate training in nutrition to properly counsel their patients. Introduction to Clinical Nutrition, Third Edition discusses the physiologic and metabolic interrelationships of all nutrients and their roles in health maintenance and the prevention of various diseases. Since the publication of the second edition of this book, new discoveries have revolutionized the field of clinical nutrition. This is true especially with respect to gene-nutrient interaction, epigenetic pathways that contribute to the activation and inactivation of gene expression, the relationship of nutrients to telomere length and health, and personalized nutrition. Highlighting these advances, new and revised topics include: Fiber, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, alternative medicine, and epidemiology DNA, gene–nutrient interaction, epigenetics, and telomeres Nutritional aspects of kidney disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome Personalized nutrition and personalized medicine Vegetarianism, the Mediterranean diet, and other popular dietary practices Obesity and cholesterol Designed as a textbook for students in conventional medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, dietetics, nursing, pharmacy, and public health, the book focuses on the critical biochemical and physiological aspects of nutrients. It includes clinical case studies to clarify topics at the end of most chapters and references to facilitate further study.
