Advances in Clinical Nutrition Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium held in Bermuda, 16–20th May 1982

The advent of any new and effective therapy is soon followed by large numbers of publications in which the indications and benefits are explored critically. It is not unexpected, therefore, that within five years of the first Bermuda Symposium on advances in parenteral nutrition that a second Sympos...
