The present paper is a review of available data on effects of parental feeding attitudes and styles on child nutritional behaviour. Food preferences develop from genetically determined predispositions to like sweet and salty flavours and to dislike bitter and sour tastes. There is evidence for existence of some innate, automatic mechanism that regulate appetite. However, from birth genetic predispositions are modified by experience. There are mechanisms of taste development: mere exposure, medicine effect, flavour learning, flavour nutrient learning. Parents play a pivotal role in the development of their child's food preferences and energy intake, with research indicating that certain child feeding practices, such as exerting excessive control over what and how much children eat, may contribute to childhood overweight. Mothers are of particular interest on children's eating behaviour, as they have been shown to spend significantly more time than fathers in direct interactions with their children across several familial situations.A recent paper describes two primary aspects of control: restriction, which involves restricting children's access to junk foods and restricting the total amount of food, and pressure, which involves pressuring children to eat healthy foods (usually fruits and vegetables) and pressuring to eat more in general.The results showed significant correlations between parent and child for reported nutritional behaviour like food intake, eating motivations, and body dis-and satisfaction. Parents create environments for children that may foster the development of healthy eating behaviours and weight, or that may promote overweight and aspects of disordered eating. In conclusion positive parental role model may be a better method for improving a child's diet than attempts at dietary control. Understanding children's eating attitudes and behaviour is important in terms of children's health. Evidence also indicates that dietary habits acquired in childhood persist through to adulthood (1) . In addition, research also indicates a role for childhood nutrition on adult health (2) .Parents provide food environments for their children's early experiences with food and eating. Several studies have shown that a child's eating behaviour is strongly influenced by the family environment. The family eating environments include parents' own eating behaviours and child-feeding practices.Results of research on behavioural mediators of familial patterns indicate that parents' own eating behaviours and their parenting practices influence the development of children's eating behaviours.Parents create environments for children that may foster the development of healthy eating behaviours and weight, or that may promote overweight and aspects of disordered eating. Characteristics of these environments include socio-demographic factors, parental activity, parental eating styles (3) and parents' child-feeding styles. Parents shape the development of children's eating behaviours, not only by the foods they make accessibl...

SG of VAAs and VAPAs was safe and effective, particularly in elective treatments. The Viabahn stent-graft, flexible and without shape memory, is suitable for endovascular repair of tortuous visceral arteries.

Complication rate of transplantation with US and fluoroscopic guidance was low. Well-functioning islet cells were found in about 50% of patients at 6 years of follow-up. Hepatic implantation of islet cells was evident on US images in more than one-third of patients.

Breath-hold, gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography is superior to color Doppler US in accessory renal artery detection. Although the specificity of MR angiography is similar to that of color Doppler US, MR angiography has a better sensitivity and negative predictive value in depicting renal arterial stenoses.
