A longitudinal study of fruit juice consumption during preschool years and subsequent diet quality and BMI

BMC Series Focus Issues

November: Infection and health

The BMC Series journals would like to dedicate their November focus issue to the recent research into infections and health highlighting four key topics within research on infection - the biology, recent advances in detection and diagnosis, the risk factors and incidence reports and finally on the advances in treatment and combating of infection.

The journal also welcomes papers on developments in nutritional research tools and novel technologies.
