Abstract
PURPOSE In this systematic review, we included randomized controlled trials from 2004 to 2021 to determine the effect of individual dietary counseling for patients with head and neck cancer, specifically, nutritional outcome, morbidity, and quality of life (QOL), during and after chemo- and chemoradiotherapy. METHODS In October 2023, a systematic search was conducted searching five electronic databases (Embase, Cochrane, PsychInfo, CINAHL, and Medline) to find studies concerning the use and effectiveness of intensive nutritional care on head and neck cancer patients. RESULTS From all 2565 search results, 6 studies with 685 head and neck cancer patients were included in this systematic review. The patients were treated with radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy. The therapy concepts include intensive nutritional support from a dietician. Outcomes were nutritional status, body composition, quality of life, and adverse effect. All studies had low quality, high risk of bias, and reported heterogeneous results: some studies reported significant improved nutrition status, body composition and quality of life, while other studies did not find any changes concerning these endpoints. CONCLUSION Due to the very heterogeneous results and methodical limitations of the included studies, a clear statement regarding the effectiveness of intensive nutritional therapy of head and neck cancer patients is not possible. Further well-planned studies are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is widespread in German hospitals, has a negative impact on therapeutic success and quality of life, and it leads to increasing costs. An individualized nutritional support by nutritional professionals in accordance with current guidelines was shown to reduce mortality of malnourished inpatients. Ideally, nutritional support is conducted by an interdisciplinary nutrition support team. Current data on the nutritional therapy in German hospitals is missing. METHODS In order to ascertain the current status of nutritional support in hospitals in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, clinic managements of all hospitals in Baden-Württemberg received an online questionnaire. Affiliated hospitals, specialist hospitals, as well as hospitals with less than 50 beds were excluded from the analysis. RESULTS The response rate was 84% (n = 94). The presence of a nutrition support team was reported by 34% of the hospitals. Twelve percent of the hospitals meet the structural characteristic of the OPS Code 8-98j Ernährungsmedizinische Komplexbehandlung, which means that their nutrition support team includes a physician. A validated nutritional risk screening is performed in 72% of the hospitals. Only 40% of the hospitals report that this is performed throughout every department. Nutrition support teams are more often concerned with malnutrition, enteral and parenteral nutrition as compared to nutritionists who are not organized in a team. Moreover, nutrition support teams have a wider range of tasks and more often a physician as a team member. Also, nutritional risk screenings are more often applied in hospitals with nutrition support teams. DISCUSSION Compared with a nationwide survey from 2004, there are markedly more nutrition support teams available in hospitals in Baden-Württemberg. When compared internationally, however, the rate of nutrition support teams is still low. In addition, there is no comprehensive nutritional care available. High-quality nutritional support is more often found in hospitals with nutrition support teams. CONCLUSION There is still a great potential of improving clinical nutritional care in hospitals in Baden-Württemberg. Moreover, an increase in nutrition support teams, also comprising medical members, should be achieved. Therefore, legal regulations and a sufficient refinancing are indispensable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Critically ill children are at risk of micronutrient deficiencies, which might lead to poor clinical outcomes. However, the interpretation of micronutrient concentrations in plasma is complicated due to age-dependent and critical illness-dependent changes. Certain red blood cell (RBC) concentrations might reflect the overall body status more reliably than plasma levels in the presence of systemic inflammatory response. This study longitudinally examined micronutrient concentrations in both plasma and RBC in critically ill children. METHODS This secondary analysis of the PEPaNIC RCT investigated the impact of early versus late initiation of parenteral macronutrient supplementation in critically ill children. All children received micronutrients when EN was insufficient (<80 % energy requirements). Blood samples were obtained on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 of Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admission. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to measure zinc, selenium, and copper in plasma and selenium, copper, and magnesium in RBCs. Plasma magnesium was measured with colorimetric detection. Micronutrient concentrations were compared with age-specific reference values in healthy children and expressed using Z-scores. Changes in micronutrient concentrations over time were examined using the Friedman and post hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. RESULTS For 67 critically ill children, median (Q1; Q3) age 9.5 (5.5; 13.2) years, PIM3 score -2.3 (-3.1; -0.8), samples were available at various time points during their PICU stay. For 22 patients, longitudinal samples were available. On day 1, the median plasma Z-score for zinc was -5.2 (-5.2; -2.9), copper -1.6 (-2.9; -0.2), selenium -2.6 (-3.8; -1.0), magnesium -0.2 (-1.6; 1.3), and median RBC Z-score for copper was 0.5 (-0.1; 1.3), selenium -0.3 (-1.1; 0.7), magnesium 0.2 (-0.4; 1.3). In the longitudinal analysis, plasma zinc was significantly higher on day 5 (Z-score -3.2 (-4.6; -1.4)) than on day 1 (Z-score -5.2 (-5.2; -3.0), p = 0.032), and plasma magnesium was significantly higher on day 3 (Z-score 1.1 (-0.7; 4.0)) than on day 1 (Z-score -0.3 (-1.6; 0.5), p = 0.018). Plasma copper and selenium remained stable, and the RBC concentrations of all micronutrients remained stable during the first five days. CONCLUSIONS Most patients had low plasma zinc, copper and selenium concentrations in the first week of their PICU stay, whereas they had normal to high RBC concentrations. More research is needed to examine the relationships between micronutrients and clinical outcome.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, which is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, has been well described to be associated with numerous poor postoperative outcomes, such as increased perioperative mortality, postoperative sepsis, prolonged length of stay, increased cost of care, decreased functional outcome, and poorer oncological outcomes in cancer surgery. Multimodal prehabilitation, as a concept that involves boosting and optimizing the preoperative condition of a patient prior to the upcoming stressors of a surgical procedure, has the purported benefits of reversing the effects of sarcopenia, shortening hospitalization, improving the rate of return to bowel activity, reducing the costs of hospitalization, and improving quality of life. This review aims to present the current literature surrounding the concept of sarcopenia, its implications pertaining to colorectal cancer and surgery, a summary of studied multimodal prehabilitation interventions, and potential future advances in the management of sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional therapy can result in remission in mild-moderate pediatric Crohn's disease (CD). However, some patients experience loss of response to biological drugs despite increased dosage. METHODS We planned to determine that CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition offers additional benefits in asymptomatic children with CD having elevated fecal calprotectin. A randomized, open-label, pilot, controlled interventional study was conducted in children with CD while on medical treatment and elevated fecal calprotectin on routine testing. Patients continued their medications and were randomized into a group that received CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition for 12 weeks and one that continued a regular diet. RESULTS Twenty-one patients participated: 11 received CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition and 10, regular diet. Median fecal calprotectin in the CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition decreased in 9/11 to 50% of baseline, remaining practically unchanged in the regular diet, except for two patients (p = 0.005). Body mass index z-score increased in the CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition. Only 1/11 patients in the CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition group, while 4/10 in the regular diet, experienced clinical relapse (p = 0.149). Only one patient in the CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition, while eight in the regular diet, were considered to need their biologic treatment intensified (p = 0.005); 2/11 in the CD exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition had the dose or frequency of the biologic reduced vs. none (0/10) in the regular diet group. The short Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index and anthropometry showed no significant changes in either group. CONCLUSIONS Diet therapy could be a useful addition to medications in children with CD in apparent remission, but elevated fecal calprotectin. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical trial number: NCT05034458.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disease that belongs to a group of disorders resulting from inborn errors of protein metabolism. It was the first disease included in neonatal screening. Neonatal screening has allowed an early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. As a result, an increasing number of women diagnosed with phenylketonuria have reached the reproductive phase of life in good health, and management of pregnancy in women with PKU is becoming more frequent. CASE PRESENTATION In this study, we report the case of a 28-year-old Caucasian patient being followed up for phenylketonuria at Ramón y Cajal Hospital's Metabolic Diseases Unit. We describe the patient's gestation, impacted by her and her partner's diagnosis of PKU, classic and mild phenotypes, respectively, resulting in the fetus affectation. CONCLUSIONS The description of PKU management-diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment-for both that of patient and that of the gestation with fetus affectation covers a wide sample scenario that shows the effectiveness of pregnancy planning and monitoring of females with PKU and questions the need to carry out a genetic study of gene PKU in the study of fertility.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Although the pharmacotherapies for Crohn's disease are constantly updating, nutritional support and adjuvant therapies have recently gained more attention. Due to advancements in clinical nutrition, various clinical nutritional therapies are used to treat Crohn's disease. Doctors treating inflammatory bowel disease can now offer several diets with more flexibility than ever. The Crohn's disease exclusion diet is a widely used diet for patients with active Crohn's disease. The Crohn's disease exclusion diet requires both exclusion and inclusion. Periodic exclusion of harmful foods and inclusion of wholesome foods gradually improves a patient's nutritional status. This article reviews the Crohn's disease exclusion diet, including its structure, mechanisms, research findings, and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition and sarcopenia may last beyond hospital discharge, especially in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU), having a negative impact on patient recovery and leading to disability, poor quality of life, and additional morbidity. No prior evidence is available for post-ICU management and follow-up of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and their long-term evolution. This study reports on the one-year-long evolution of a cohort of COVID-19 survivors after ICU discharge, in terms of nutritional and functional status as well as health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS A multicenter, ambispective, observational cohort study (NUTRICOVID study) was conducted in 16 public hospitals located in the Community of Madrid with COVID-19 survivors who were admitted to ICU during the first outbreak. Retrospective and prospective data were collected from hospital admission to one year after discharge. At hospital discharge and at 3, 6 and 12 months post-discharge, the following outcomes were recorded: weight, risk of malnutrition (MUST) and sarcopenia (SARC-F), medical nutrition therapy (MNT), functional status (Barthel index), and HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L). RESULTS A total of 199 patients (70.4% male, mean age [SD] of 60.7 [10.1]) were included in the study. At hospital discharge, mean weight loss was 16.4% (8.0%), whereas most patients gained weight after discharge with an increase of 16.5% (14.0%) at 12 months. The proportion of patients at high risk of malnutrition decreased from 83.2% at hospital discharge to 2.1% at 12 months. The proportion at risk of sarcopenia decreased from 86.9% at hospital discharge to 13.4% at 12 months. At hospital discharge, 69 patients received MNT by means of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) while two patients required enteral nutrition (EN). At 12 months, only 12 patients continued taking ONS, with no patients taking EN. Regarding functional status, 72.9% of patients were moderately or severely dependent at hospital discharge, whereas 87.2% showed low dependency or independency after 12 months. The EQ-VAS values increased from hospital discharge (39 [21.2]) to 6 months post-discharge and remained steady up to 12 months (72.7 [19.0]). The mean health value improved from hospital discharge (0.25 [0.41]) to 6 months post-discharge (0.80 [0.24]) and was maintained thereafter. CONCLUSIONS Patients' nutritional and functional impairment at hospital discharge was high, with high dependency status and low HRQoL; however, their situation improved progressively during the 12 months following hospital discharge. Nevertheless, there is a need to define early strategies to optimize the nutritional and functional recovery of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The present study evaluated the lipid profile of enteral nutrition formulas with added fish oil used in a public hospital, with an emphasis on the fatty acid (FA) composition. METHODS FA composition was determined using gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Nine enteral nutrition formulas were evaluated and the results obtained were compared with those reported on the formulas labels. RESULTS The sample with the highest percentage of added fish oil according to the label information had the lowest total amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA + DHA) (p < 0.05). In the evaluation of the total amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (ΣPUFA/ΣSFA) ratio, five samples were not within the values recommended by Brazilan and international health regulatory agencies. Regarding the n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio, five samples showed values higher than the recommended ratio. It was observed that EPA + DHA content was positively correlated with the cost of the diet. Importantly, we also found that there was a significant difference between the results of our analysis and the descriptions found on the labels for fatty acids n-6, n-3, EPA, DHA, SFA, PUFA and MUFA. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the discrepancies for fatty acids between the values obtained in the analyses and the values reported on the labels highlight the need for more rigorous inspection when public hospitals purchase enteral nutrition formulas with added fish oil, since the administration of formulas with inadequate levels of FA in hospitalized patients can compromise clinical results during the hospitalization period.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to examine the effects of meal supervision, provided by health professionals, volunteers or family members, on anthropometric, nutritional, psychological, and behavioural outcomes in patients with eating disorders (EDs). METHODS The present systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The last search was conducted in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane library). Inclusion criteria considered paediatric and adult patients suffering from EDs, regardless of ethnicity, and treated in different therapeutic settings. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) adapted for cross-sectional studies and Version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool for randomised trials. RESULTS 3282 articles were retrieved, out of which only 6 met the eligibility criteria. A marked heterogeneity in definitions and approaches to supervised mealtime was observed. This variability emerged in the methodologies used in the supervised meal, and in the reference values for the outcome measures that were used, such as the analysis of different parameters. Based on these observations, mealtime assistance provided to patients with EDs shows an overall positive effect on eating behaviour and dysfunctional attitudes. Future research should be prompted to provide a thorough definition of a structured procedure for meal assistance to be potentially and systematically included in the nutritional rehabilitation protocols for patients with EDs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV systematic reviews of uncontrolled trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Intensive nutritional therapy is an essential component of burn care. Regarding post-minor burn injuries, the literature is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate documented nutritional therapy in relation to international guidelines after both minor and major burn injuries. The secondary aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of energy and protein intake compared to individual nutritional goals post-burn injury. METHODS A retrospective observational single-centre study including patients admitted between 2017 and 2019 at a burn centre in Sweden was performed. The patients included in the study were ≥18 years old and in need of hospital care for ≥72 h post-burn injury. Information about patients' demographics, nutritional therapy, and clinical characteristics of burn injury was collected. The patients were divided according to total body surface area burnt (TBSA %) into minor burn injuries (TBSA <20%) and major burn injuries (TBSA ≥20%). Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data. Adherence to guidelines was established by comparing 24 nutritional therapy recommendations to documented treatment. If documented nutritional treatment were in accordance with guidelines, adherence was considered high (≥80%), moderate (60-79.9%) or low (<59.9%). RESULTS One hundred thirty-four patients were included, 90 patients with minor burn injuries and 44 patients with major burn injuries. Documented adherence to the nutritional guideline was overall low. After minor burn injury, 8% (2/24) of nutritional therapy recommendations had a high adherence (fat intake <35% of total energy intake and enteral nutrition as prioritized feeding route), 17% (4/24) a moderate adherence, and 75% (18/24) a low adherence. In patients treated after a major burn injury, there were two recommendations with documented high adherence (Vitamin C and Zinc); 25% (6/24) had moderate adherence, and 67% (16/24) had low adherence. In addition, quite a large amount of missing data was found. Adequacy of documented nutritional intake, compared to the individual documented goal, was 78% (±23%) for energy and 66% (±22%) for protein after minor burn injury. After major burn injury, the adequacy was 89% (±21%) for energy and 78% (±19%) for protein, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed low adherence to nutritional guidelines in patients treated for minor and major burn injuries. Compared to major burn injuries, lower documented adequacy for both energy and proteins was found in minor burn injuries. Given the disparity between guidelines and documented nutritional therapy, and the lack of specific guidelines for minor burn injuries, there could be a considerable risk of inadequate nutritional therapy post-burn injury.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in nutritional therapy for patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) complicated with dysphagia. Methods This is a Clinical comparative study. A total of 82 patients with ACI complicated with dysphagia treated in Baoding No.1 Central Hospital from May 2021 to February 2022 were included as subjects. They were divided into control group (n= 40, without clinical pharmacists) and experimental group (n= 42, with clinical pharmacists) using a random number table. The effect of nutritional therapy and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results In the experimental group, PALB and ALB were both higher than those in the control group on the seven and 14-day after treatment (p< 0.05), while HB was higher than that in the control group only on the 14-day after treatment (p< 0.05). After treatment for 14-day, MAMC and TSF in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (p< 0.05), while NIHSS score was lower than that in the control group (p< 0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (p< 0.05). Conclusion Pharmaceutical intervention in nutritional therapy for patients with ACI complicated with dysphagia has positive significance in further improving the nutritional status and nutritional indexes, enhancing the efficacy of drug treatment and reducing the risk of adverse events, and is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Background We wanted to evaluate if a visual nutritional indicator (VNI), which shows the total amount of calories and protein, can improve the quality of nutritional therapy (NT) and result in better clinical outcomes prospectively. Materials and methods We randomly assigned patients to VNI or non-VNI (NVNI) groups. In the VNI group, VNI was attached to the patient's bed for the attending physician. The primary goal was a higher supply of calories and proteins. The secondary goals were the shorter length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, mechanical ventilation, and renal replacement therapy. Results The total calorie supply was 18.6 kcal/kg and 15.6 kcal/kg in the VNI and NVNI groups, respectively (p = 0.04). The total protein supply was 0.92 g/kg and 0.71 g/kg, respectively (p = 0.05). The length of ICU stay was 5.6 days and 5.3 days in the VNI and NVNI groups, respectively (p = 0.09). The length of mechanical ventilation was 3.6 days and 3.8 days, respectively (p = 0.07). The length of renal replacement therapy was 5.7 days and 6.3 days, respectively (p = 0.13). The mortality on the seventh day was 14.6% and 16.1% in the VNI and NVNI groups, respectively (p = 0.08). The mortality on the thirtieth day was 20 and 20.8%, respectively (p = 0.87). Conclusion Visual nutritional indicator, indicating the total amount of calories and protein provided, can improve the quality of NT but fail to obtain a better clinical outcome.

Abstract
N6-methyladenine (m6A) is the most common and abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, which can regulate gene expression and perform important biological tasks. Metal ions participate in nucleotide biosynthesis and repair, signal transduction, energy generation, immune defense, and other important metabolic processes. However, long-term environmental and occupational exposure to metals through food, air, soil, water, and industry can result in toxicity, serious health problems, and cancer. Recent evidence indicates dynamic and reversible m6A modification modulates various metal ion metabolism, such as iron absorption, calcium uptake and transport. In turn, environmental heavy metal can alter m6A modification by directly affecting catalytic activity and expression level of methyltransferases and demethylases, or through reactive oxygen species, eventually disrupting normal biological function and leading to diseases. Therefore, m6A RNA methylation may play a bridging role in heavy metal pollution-induced carcinogenesis. This review discusses interaction among heavy metal, m6A, and metal ions metabolism, and their regulatory mechanism, focuses on the role of m6A methylation and heavy metal pollution in cancer. Finally, the role of nutritional therapy that targeting m6A methylation to prevent metal ion metabolism disorder-induced cancer is summarized.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose was to compare the resting energy expenditure (REE) measured with the Q-NRG™+ metabolic-cart (MREE) with REE predicted by equations (the Harris-Benedict formula and an equation developed in ward, REE-HB and REE-W, respectively). We also aimed to assess the agreement of the measurements of oxygen consumption (V̇O2) and carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2) at different inspired fractions of oxygen (FiO2). METHODS 27 mechanically ventilated ICU patients were enrolled. V̇O2 and V̇CO2 were measured by Q-NRG™+ during breathing 40% and 60% FiO2. MREE was compared with REE-W and REE-HB normalized for body weight. RESULTS V̇O2 was 233.0 (95.2) ml/min and 217.5 (89.8) ml/min at FiO2 40% and 60%, respectively (NS). V̇CO2 was 199.0 (91.7) ml/min at FiO2 40%, and 197.5 (85.5) ml/min at FiO2 60% (NS). The REE estimated from the equations was significantly different from the MREE. The best agreement was found for the Harris-Benedict equation without correction for stress-factors. Harris-Benedict equation corrected overestimates REE. CONCLUSIONS This new metabolic cart Q-NRG™+ provides a concordance of values for V̇O2 and V̇CO2 when measured at different FiO2, and is a reliable tool for estimating energy expenditure and assessing the nutritional needs of the patient. This study demonstrates that the estimation of REE using predictive formulas does not allow accurate calculation of metabolic demands in ventilated intensive care patient. However, predictive equations allow for a rapid assessment of REE and calculation of the amount of energy derived from different substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often at risk of undernutrition with low health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Undernutrition can worsen COPD and other comorbidities, be an independent predictor of morbidity and functional decline resulting in increased healthcare consumption and increased risk of death. Especially exacerbations and acute infections result in unintentional weight loss. The aim is to investigate the effect of an individualized nutritional intervention among individuals with severe COPD. METHODS An open-label randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Participants are recruited from the pulmonary outpatient clinic at the Department of Pulmonary and Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, North Zealand, Denmark, and randomly allocated to either the intervention (intervention + standard of care) or control group (standard of care). The intervention has a duration of 3 months and combines individual nutritional care with adherence support and practical tools. It contains 4 elements including an individual nutritional plan, regular contacts, adherence support, and weight diary. The primary outcome is a difference in HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L) between the intervention and control group 3 months after baseline. Difference in functional capacity (grip strength, 30-s stand chair test, and physical activity), disease-specific quality of life (COPD Assessment Test), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), nutritional parameters (energy and protein intake), anthropometry (weight, body mass index, waist, hip, and upper arm circumference), body composition (total fat-free and fat mass and indices), and prognosis (exacerbations, oxygen therapy, hospital contacts, and mortality) 3 months after baseline will be included as secondary outcomes. Data will be collected through home visits at baseline and 1 and 3 months after baseline. DISCUSSION Currently, nutritional care is a neglected area of outpatient care among individuals with severe COPD. If this patient-centered approach can demonstrate a positive impact on HRQoL, mortality, and hospital contacts, it should be recommended as part of end-of-life care for individuals with severe COPD.

Abstract
Purpose of the Review The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented challenge to the critical care providers caring for those patients, including the delivery of nutrition. This review will address the challenges of gastric versus post gastric feeding in patients in COVID-19 disease. Recent Recommendations Many societies, including American, British, and Australian recommend initiating of enteral feeding in COVID-19 patients as soon as 24 h of ICU admission or within 12 h after intubation. Consideration for post-pyloric feeding if there is evidence of intolerance to gastric feeding. Summary The same principle for non-COVID-19 critically ill patients applies to COVID-19 patients when it comes to the route of nutritional delivery. Gastric feeding should be initiated as soon as 24 h of admission to the ICU, and post gastric feeding should be reserved to patients who demonstrate gastric feeding intolerance.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorgan disorder with a deregulated immune-inflammatory response. Nutritional therapy has been considered a promising approach to SLE management. Oleocanthal (OLE), the main extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)-derived secoiridoid, has shown to regulate the immune-inflammatory response in various disease contexts; however, its possible beneficial effects on SLE remain unclear. This study sought to evaluate the effects of OLE enriched diet on renal damage and aortic endothelial dysfunction in murine pristane-induced SLE, focusing on the action mechanisms and signaling pathways involved. BALB/c mice were injected with pristane and fed with OLE supplemented diet (0.01 % (w/w)) for six months. Levels of cytokines were measured by ELISA in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages and splenocytes. Presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM immune complexes were examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Thoracic aortas were used to evaluate endothelial dysfunction. Western blotting was employed to detect signaling pathways and oxidative-inflammatory-related mediators. Dietary OLE supplementation reduced Th1/Th17 pro-inflammatory cytokines production and alleviated renal damage by decreasing immunoglobulin complexes deposition, and inflammation-mediating enzymes expression. The mechanisms underlying these protective effects could be related to the regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/Haem oxygenase 1 (Nrf-2/HO-1), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), signal transducer and transcription activator of transcription (STAT-3), inflammasome and, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. Also, dietary OLE improved aortic endothelial dysfunction and vascular reactivity, normalizing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling, and NADPH oxidase-1 (NOX-1) overexpression. This study shows the immunomodulatory effects of OLE in an in vivo model of SLE by improving renal damage and regulating aortic endothelial dysfunction. These preliminary results provide OLE as a new therapeutic strategy in SLE management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS COVID-19 patients present a high hospitalization rate with a high mortality risk for those requiring intensive care. When these patients have other comorbid conditions and older age, the risk for severe disease and poor outcomes after ICU admission are increased. The present work aims to describe the preliminary results of the ongoing NUTRICOVID study about the nutritional and functional status and the quality of life of adult COVID-19 survivors after ICU discharge, emphasizing the in-hospital and discharge situation of this population. METHODS A multicenter, ambispective, observational cohort study was conducted in 16 public hospitals of the Community of Madrid with COVID-19 survivors who were admitted to the ICU during the first outbreak. Preliminary results of this study include data retrospectively collected. Malnutrition and sarcopenia were screened at discharge using MUST and SARC-F; the use of healthcare resources was measured as the length of hospital stay and requirement of respiratory support and tracheostomy during hospitalization; other study variables were the need for medical nutrition therapy (MNT); and patients' functional status (Barthel index) and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L). RESULTS A total of 176 patients were included in this preliminary analysis. Most patients were male and older than 60 years, who suffered an average (SD) weight loss of 16.6% (8.3%) during the hospital stay, with a median length of stay of 53 (27-89.5) days and a median ICU stay of 24.5 (11-43.5) days. At discharge, 83.5% and 86.9% of the patients were at risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, respectively, but only 38% were prescribed MNT. In addition, more than 70% of patients had significant impairment of their mobility and to conduct their usual activities at hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary analysis evidences the high nutritional and functional impairment of COVID-19 survivors at hospital discharge and highlights the need for guidelines and systematic protocols, together with appropriate rehabilitation programs, to optimize the nutritional management of these patients after discharge.

Abstract
Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are the most notable and striking complications of diabetes mellitus. More than 25% of nonhealing DFU can ultimately lead to amputation of the lower extremity within 6-18 mo after the first manifestation of the wound. Although wound healing is complex, nutritional status is crucial in soft tissue repair. Malnutrition is highly prevalent and overlooked in patients with diabetes and chronic wounds. Moreover, to date, we do not have clear recommendations or evidence about the use of nutritional supplements for improving wound healing in patients with DFU. In this article the authors briefly analyzed the current evidence on the use of nutritional supplements of proteins or amino acids, fatty acids, probiotics, vitamins, and trace elements in the wound healing process in patients with DFU.

Abstract
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) requires multimodal treatment approaches to achieve rapid seizure cessation and neuroprotection. A ketogenic diet (KD) has demonstrated efficacy as a nutritional therapeutic option for adult RSE. However, the group of adult RSE patients who would benefit from adopting a KD needs to be determined to appropriately select the patients indicated for a KD. Therefore, we conducted a nonrandomized retrospective cohort study to explore the therapeutic efficacy of a KD by investigating the moderation effect of a KD on the association between the clinical characteristics of RSE patients and their functional outcomes. This study investigated 140 RSE patients, including 32 patients treated with a KD; among these patients, 28 (81%) achieved seizure cessation. We found that KD moderated the reduction in the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at discharge among patients who were older, had higher seizure severity scores, were under continuous intravenous anesthetic therapy (CIVAD), and had super-RSE. Age and seizure severity scores, but not CIVAD or super-RSE, were associated with a KD-moderated change in mRS score at 3 months. Thus, we consider that our study provides evidence of a neuroprotective effect of KD in the most severe RSE patients with very few remaining therapeutic options, but future randomized controlled trials in these subgroups of KD patients are necessary.

Abstract
Background Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 0, VI and IX are inborn errors of metabolism involving hepatic glycogen synthesis and degradation. We performed a characterization of a large Italian cohort of 30 patients with GSD type 0a, VI, IXa, IXb and IXc. A retrospective evaluation of genetical, auxological and endocrinological data, biochemical tests, and nutritional intakes was assessed. Eventual findings of overweight/obesity and insulin-resistance were correlated with diet composition. Results Six GSD-0a, 1 GSD-VI, and 23 GSD-IX patients were enrolled, with an age of presentation from 0 to 72 months (median 14 months). Diagnosis was made at a median age of 30 months, with a median diagnostic delay of 11 months and a median follow-up of 66 months. From first to last visit, patients gained a median height of 0.6 SDS (from − 1.1 to 2.1 SDS) and a median weight of 0.5 SDS (from − 2.5 to 3.3 SDS); mean and minimal glucose values significant improved (p < 0.05). With respect to dietary intakes, protein intake (g/kg) and protein intake (g/kg)/RDA ratio directly correlated with the glucose/insulin ratio (p < 0.05) and inversely correlated with HOMA-IR (Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, p < 0.05), BMI SDS (p < 0.05) and %ibw (ideal body weight percentage, p < 0.01). Conclusion A prompt establishment of specific nutritional therapy allowed to preserve growth, improve glycemic control and prevent liver complication, during childhood. Remarkably, the administration of a high protein diet appeared to have a protective effect against overweight/obesity and insulin-resistance.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent malignancy and the second cause of cancer death worldwide. Several factors have been postulated to be involved in CRC pathophysiology, including physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary habits, obesity, and the gut microbiota. Emerging data suggest that the microbiome may play a key role in CRC prognosis and derived complications in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. On the other hand, dietary intervention has been demonstrated to be able to induce significant changes in the gut microbiota and related metabolites in different conditions; therefore, the manipulation of gut microbiota through dietary intervention may constitute a useful approach to improve perioperative dysbiosis and post-surgical outcomes in patients with CRC. In this article, we review the role of the gut microbiota in CRC surgery complications and the potential therapeutic modulation of gut microbiome through nutritional intervention in patients with CRC undergoing surgery.

Abstract
Nutritional disorders diminish the effectiveness of physical therapy. The pathogenesis of nutritional disorders, such as sarcopenia, frailty, and cachexia, differs from disease to disease. Disease-specific nutrition can maximize the function, activity, participation, and quality of life for patients undergoing physical therapy, a practice known as nutritional physical therapy. Understanding and practicing disease-specific nutritional physical therapy is essential to meet patients' diverse needs and goals with any disease. Thus, the physical therapist division of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Nutrition, with advice from the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Swallowing Physical Therapy, developed this review. It discusses the impact of disease-specific nutritional physical therapy on sarcopenia and frailty in community-dwelling older adults, obesity and metabolic syndrome, critical illness, musculoskeletal diseases, stroke, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal disease, cancer, and sports.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) recently suggested specific criteria to standardize the diagnosis of malnutrition. There is need for validation of these criteria regarding response to nutrition treatment. Our aim was to validate modified GLIM (mGLIM) criteria among medical inpatients at risk of disease related malnutrition for prediction of outcome and response to nutritional therapy. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of the Effect of Early Nutritional Support on Frailty, Functional Outcomes, and Recovery of Malnourished Medical Inpatients Trial (EFFORT), a multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted between April 2014 and February 2018. Adult medical inpatients at nutritional risk (Nutrition Risk Score 2002 ≥ 3 points) were randomly assigned to receive nutritional therapy according to an algorithm based on individualized nutritional requirements (intervention group) or standard hospital food (control group). We included all participants with available information regarding mGLIM criteria. The primary outcome was adverse clinical outcome, which was a composite of 30-day all-cause mortality, ICU-admission, rehospitalization rate, major complications and decline in functional status. RESULTS Of 1917 eligible participants at nutritional risk, 1181 (61.6%) met the diagnosis of malnutrition based on mGLIM criteria. The incidence of adverse clinical outcome was significantly higher in mGLIM-positive participants compared with mGLIM-negative participants [330/1181 (27.9%) versus 140/736 (19.0%); multivariable adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.53; 95% CI 1.22-1.93; p < 0.001]. Regarding the effect of nutritional therapy, the reduction in adverse clinical outcomes was higher in mGLIM-positive participants [180/581 (31.0%) vs. 150/600 (25.0%), OR 0.69; 95% CI 0.53-0.9, p = 0.007], compared with mGLIM-negative participants [75/379 (19.8%) versus 65/357 (18.2%), OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.65-1.40, p = 0.797], a finding that was, however, not significant in interaction analysis (p for interaction = 0.217). CONCLUSION Data from this secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial involving medical inpatients at nutritional risk validate the strong prognostic value of mGLIM criteria regarding adverse clinical outcomes and other long-term outcomes. However, further research is needed to improve the ability of GLIM criteria to predict therapeutic response to nutritional interventions.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Lifestyle modification and weight loss are cornerstones of type 2 diabetes management. However, carbohydrate restriction may have weight-independent beneficial effects on glycaemic control. This has been difficult to demonstrate because low-carbohydrate diets readily decrease body weight. We hypothesised that carbohydrate restriction enhances the beneficial metabolic effects of weight loss in type 2 diabetes. METHODS This open-label, parallel RCT included adults with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c 48-97 mmol/mol (6.5-11%), BMI >25 kg/m2, eGFR >30 ml min-1 [1.73 m]-2 and glucose-lowering therapy restricted to metformin or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. Participants were randomised by a third party and assigned to 6 weeks of energy restriction (all foods were provided) aiming at ~6% weight loss with either a carbohydrate-reduced high-protein diet (CRHP, percentage of total energy intake [E%]: CH30/P30/F40) or a conventional diabetes diet (CD, E%: CH50/P17/F33). Fasting blood samples, continuous glucose monitoring and magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to assess glycaemic control, lipid metabolism and intrahepatic fat. Change in HbA1c was the primary outcome; changes in circulating and intrahepatic triacylglycerol were secondary outcomes. Data were collected at Copenhagen University Hospital (Bispebjerg and Herlev). RESULTS Seventy-two adults (CD 36, CRHP 36, all white, 38 male sex) with type 2 diabetes (mean duration 8 years, mean HbA1c 57 mmol/mol [7.4%]) and mean BMI of 33 kg/m2 were enrolled, of which 67 (CD 33, CRHP 34) completed the study. Body weight decreased by 5.8 kg (5.9%) in both groups after 6 weeks. Compared with the CD diet, the CRHP diet further reduced HbA1c (mean [95% CI] -1.9 [-3.5, -0.3] mmol/mol [-0.18 (-0.32, -0.03)%], p = 0.018) and diurnal mean glucose (mean [95% CI] -0.8 [-1.2, -0.4] mmol/l, p < 0.001), stabilised glucose excursions by reducing glucose CV (mean [95% CI] -4.1 [-5.9, -2.2]%, p < 0.001), and augmented the reductions in fasting triacylglycerol concentration (by mean [95% CI] -18 [-29, -6]%, p < 0.01) and liver fat content (by mean [95% CI] -26 [-45, 0]%, p = 0.051). However, pancreatic fat content was decreased to a lesser extent by the CRHP than the CD diet (mean [95% CI] 33 [7, 65]%, p = 0.010). Fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA2-IR and cholesterol concentrations (total, LDL and HDL) were reduced significantly and similarly by both diets. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Moderate carbohydrate restriction for 6 weeks modestly improved glycaemic control, and decreased circulating and intrahepatic triacylglycerol levels beyond the effects of weight loss itself compared with a CD diet in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Concurrent differences in protein and fat intakes, and the quality of dietary macronutrients, may have contributed to these results and should be explored in future studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03814694. FUNDING The study was funded by Arla Foods amba, The Danish Dairy Research Foundation, and Copenhagen University Hospital Bispebjerg Frederiksberg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review aims to summarize the current management of type 2 diabetes principles, including oral hypoglycemic agents, types of insulin administration, diet maintenance, and various molecular approaches. METHODS A literature search was conducted in different databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Web of Science by using the following keywords: type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), first-line and second-line treatment, oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin administration, diet/nutritional therapy, gene and stem cell therapy, and diabetic complications. RESULTS The first-line treatment of T2DM includes administering oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) and second-line treatment by insulin therapy and some OHAs like Sulfonylurea's (SU). The oral hypoglycemic or oral antidiabetic drugs have the function of lowering glucose in the blood. Insulin therapy is recommended for people with A1C levels > 7.0, and insulin administration is evolved drastically from the syringe, pump, pen, inhalation, insulin jet, and patch. The use of OHAs and insulin therapy during glycemic control has a severe effect on weight gain and other side effects. Hence, diet maintenance (macro and micronutrients) and nutritional therapy guidelines were also reviewed/recommended for safe T2DM management. Besides, the recent progress in molecular approaches that focuses on identifying new targets for T2DM (i.e.) consisting of gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and the modulation of insulin signaling pathways for the regulation of glucose storage and uptake also discussed. CONCLUSION The analysis of all these key factors is necessary to develop a potential agent to cure T2DM and suggest that a combination of therapies will pave the way for advanced management of T2DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenia is defined as both low muscle function (performance or strength) and low muscle mass. Although aging is the main cause of sarcopenia, it can also occur due to poor nutrition and chronic diseases like liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. OBJECTIVE To do the quantitative analysis of various normative skeletal muscle indices (to define sarcopenia) in the Indian population. METHODS Sex-specific means, standard deviations (SD), and sarcopenia cutoffs (mean-2SD) of psoas muscle thickness (PMTH), psoas muscle area (PMA), psoas muscle index (PMI), erector spinae muscle area (ESMA), skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SMRA), total skeletal muscle area (SMA), and total skeletal muscle index (SMI) were computed. RESULTS A total of 2002 individuals (1308 males and 694 females) underwent CT evaluation. PMTH (mm/m) was observed to be 15.87±2.67 in males vs. 12.61±2.46 in females (p=0.0001); PMA (cm2) was 18.55±3.45 in males vs.13.52±2.80 in females (p=0.0001); PMI (cm2/m2) was 6.69±1.40 in males vs. 5.57±1.18 in females (p=0.0001); ESMA (cm2) was 45.74±6.01 in males vs. 35.37±5.63 in females (p=0.0001); ESMI (cm2/m2) was 16.5±2.55 in males vs. 14.62±2.6 in females (p=0.0001); SMRA was 55.80±3.91 Hounsfield unit (HU) in males vs. 52.36±3.67 HU in females (p=0.0001); SMA (cm2) was 147.73±11.77 in males vs. 106.33±12.00 in females (p=0.0001); and SMI (cm2/m2) was estimated to be 51.00±5.70 in males vs. 43.93±6.05 in females (p=0.0001). PMTH, PMI, ESMI, SMI, and SMRA cutoffs for sarcopenia at L3 were observed to be 10.53 mm/m, 3.89 cm2/m2, 11.40 cm2/m2, 39.59 cm2/m2, and 47.98 HU among males and 7.69, 3.20, 9.42, 31.83, and 45.01 among females, respectively; these values were consistent with previously reported cutoffs in Indian studies but not consistent with the cutoffs reported in other countries. CONCLUSION Normative values of skeletal muscle indices for either sex among the Indian adult population would enable future studies on sarcopenia in various medical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathways include evidence-based items designed to accelerate recovery after surgery. Interdisciplinarity is one of the key points of ERAS programs. OBJECTIVE To prepare a consensus document among the members of the Nutrition Area of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) and the Spanish Group for Multimodal Rehabilitation (GERM), in which the goal is to homogenize the nutritional and metabolic management of patients included in an ERAS program. METHODS 69 specialists in Endocrinology and Nutrition and 85 members of the GERM participated in the project. After a literature review, 79 statements were proposed, divided into 5 sections: 17 of general characteristics, 28 referring to the preoperative period, 4 to the intraoperative, 13 to the perioperative and 17 to the postoperative period. The degree of consensus was determined through a Delphi process of 2 circulations that was ratified by a consistency analysis. RESULTS Overall, in 61 of the 79 statements there was a consistent agreement, with the degree of consensus being greater among members of the SEEN (64/79) than members of the GERM (59/79). Within the 18 statements where a consistent agreement was not reached, we should highlight some important nutritional strategies such as muscle mass assessment, the start of early oral feeding or pharmaconutrition. CONCLUSION Consensus was reached on the vast majority of the nutritional measures and care included in ERAS programs. Due to the lack of agreement on certain key points, it is necessary to continue working closely with both societies to improve the recovery of the surgical patients.

Abstract
Retinal degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are of the major causes of vision loss in developed countries. Despite the unclear pathophysiology, treatment methods have been investigated vastly in the past decades. This review article mainly discusses the advances in application of stem cell and progenitor transplantation for retinitis pigmentosa. Stem cell sources such as mesenchymal stem cells, embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, neural stem cells, retinal progenitor cells, and olfactory ensheathing cells are discussed separately in addition to a brief description of two approaches for treatment of early-stage RP, including gene therapy and nutritional therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiogenic shock is defined as tissue hypoperfusion due to cardiac dysfunction. It is associated with hemodynamic unstability and elevated arterial lactate as one indicator for anaerobic metabolism. Hypercatabolic state in this condition leads to increasing nutritional requirement and negative nitrogen balance. Therefore, medical nutrition therapy by considering metabolic tolerance can prevent further metabolic deterioration and loss of lean mass and improve the patient's clinical outcome. METHODS A 44-years-old female patient with severe protein-energy malnutrition (Subjective Global Assessment Score C; MUAC 15cm) suffered from hemodynamic unstability due to cardiogenic shock and infected bronchiectasis at the infection center of Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Intake was postponed due to mean arterial pressure 56mmHg on vasopressor support and oxygen saturation below 93%. Physical examinations showed loss of subcutaneous fat, lung crackles and wheezing, muscle wasting, and pretibial edema. Laboratory assessments showed elevated arterial lactate (3.2mmol/L), hypoalbuminemia (2.4g/dL), lymphocytopenia (650/μL), elevated liver enzymes (SGOT 780U/L; SGPT 868U/L), and urine urea nitrogen (5g/24h). Nutritional therapy was started after mean arterial pressure ≥65mmHg with a stable dosage of the vasopressor drug and decreased arterial lactate level to 2.2mmol/L then given gradually with a target calorie of 1500kcal and protein 1.5-1.8g/kg ideal body weight/day using high protein diet. Arterial lactate and blood gass analyses were controlled every day to determine the target of nutritional therapy day by the day. Snakehead fish extract, zinc, vitamin B complex, Thiamine, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin D3, and Curcumin were supplied. RESULT After 15 days of nutritional therapy, the patient was discharged from the hospital with stable hemodynamic without vasopressor support, adequate nutritional intake, improvement of anthropometric parameters, and laboratory test results (arterial lactate 1.6mmol/L, albumin 3.1g/dL, lymphocyte 1.871/μL, SGOT 34U/L, SGPT 41U/L, urine urea nitrogen 0.72g/24h). CONCLUSION Adequate nutritional therapy, which is planned by evaluating hemodynamic tolerance, can improve patient clinical outcomes and positive nitrogen balance in the hemodynamically unstable patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bronchiectasis is a chronic infective and inflammatory respiratory disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Repeated respiratory infections may lead to infected bronchiectasis (IB) and acute exacerbations which often require hospital admission, increase risk of malnutrition and impact quality of life and eventually leads to death. Nutritional therapy is needed to modulate inflammation and enhance immunity to reduce severity of exacerbation, overcome malnutrition, as well as to decrease morbidity and mortality. METHODS A 59-year-old female patient, diagnosed with IB. The patient had low oral intake due to productive cough and anorexia since 2 weeks before admission. Moreover, she had gradual shortness of breath that caused an impending respiratory failure during hospitalization, supported by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Nutritional assessment was made based on Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) score C. Abnormal laboratory findings seen were increased in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) 9.3, moderate depletion of immune system with total lymphocyte count (TLC) 808.4/μl, hypoalbuminemia (3.2g/dl) and increased in liver enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 206U/l, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 224U/l. Nutritional therapy was given gradually with target calorie 1400-1900kcal, protein 0.8-1.5g/kg IBW/day, carbohydrates 45-50%, and fat 33.3-43% through oral and parenteral nutrition. The patient was given supplementations such as vitamins (A, B complex, C, D), zinc, curcumin and snakehead fish extract high albumin content. RESULT After 14 days of treatment, significant clinical and metabolic improvement in NLR, TLC, plasma albumin, liver enzymes (AST/ALT), blood gas analysis, and functional capacity (handgrip strength) were found. CONCLUSION An adequate nutritional therapy with macro and micro-nutrients in IB patient can improve clinical outcome, nutritional status and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to compare the intake of important micronutrients provided from enteral nutrition to critically ill patients with the Australia and New Zealand recommended dietary intakes. A secondary objective was to compare the upper levels of intake and investigate prespecified subgroups. REVIEW METHOD USED A systematic literature review was performed. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and CENTRAL were used. REVIEW METHODS Databases were searched for randomised controlled trials that investigated an enteral nutrition intervention as the sole source of nutrition, were published in English between January 2000 and January 8th, 2021, and provided data to calculate micronutrient intake. The primary outcome was the % recommended dietary intake. The quality of individual trials was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Outcomes are presented as either mean ± standard deviation or median [interquartile range], with a p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. RESULTS Thirteen trials were included (n = 1538 patients). Trials investigating hypocaloric nutrition were excluded from the primary outcome assessment (conducted in nine trials (n = 1220)). All nine trials delivered ≥104% of the recommended dietary intakes and <100% of the upper level of intakes of all micronutrients. In subgroup analyses, trials with ≥80% target energy delivered a higher % of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin B12, thiamine, zinc, and vitamin C. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation scores ≥20 delivered a higher % of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin B12 and vitamin A. Antioxidant formulas compared with standard formulas delivered a higher % recommended dietary intake of vitamin C and thiamine. In the four trials that investigated hypocaloric feeding compared with control, there was no difference in micronutrient intake. The quality was low. CONCLUSIONS Enteral nutrition delivery frequently met the recommended dietary intakes for all micronutrients investigated and did not exceed the upper levels of intake set for health.

Assessing calorie and protein recommendations for survivors of critical illness weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation - can we find a proper balance? Clin Nutr ESPEN 2021; 45:449-53.

Abstract
Background & aims: Survivors of critical illness requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) are predisposed to malnutrition, muscle wasting, and weakness. There is a lack of data regarding nutrition adequacy among these patients, and although nitrogen balance has been studied as a marker of adequate protein intake in healthy individuals and acutely critically ill patients, it has not been well studied in critically ill patients with PMV. The purpose of this study was to determine if patients requiring PMV admitted to a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) achieved registered dietitian (RD) recommended goals for energy and protein intake and if the recommendations were adequate to avoid negative nitrogen balance. Methods: Using a retrospective, cohort study design, patients requiring PMV who had orders for 24-h urine collections for urea nitrogen (24hrUUN) were included. Energy and protein intake was calculated from chart documentation of dietary intake for the 24-h period during which patients underwent a 24hrUUN. Nitrogen intake was estimated from protein intake. Dietary intake was compared to RD-recommendations to determine the percentage of RD-recommendations achieved. Nitrogen balance was calculated as nitrogen intake minus nitrogen loss, with negative balance categorized as less than −1. Results: Subjects (n = 16) were 38% male and 75% African American (mean age 61.5 ± 3.2 years; mean BMI 27.5 ± 2.5 kg/m2). Duration of LTACH hospitalization was 26.5 (6–221) days. Mean energy and protein intake was 21.7 ± 2.9 kcal/kg/d and 1.1 ± 0.1 g/kg/d, respectively, which corresponded to 86% of both RD energy and protein recommendations. Ten patients achieved a positive nitrogen balance (mean 0.9 ± 1.1 g). In addition, there was a positive linear relationship between protein intake and nitrogen balance (r = 0.59, p = 0.016). Conclusion: Survivors of critical illness requiring PMV achieved a high percentage of RD-recommended protein and calories, and prevented a negative nitrogen balance in a majority of patients. Increasing protein intake can prevent a negative nitrogen balance. Future studies should evaluate whether these patients are able to maintain a steady state of nitrogen intake and excretion over time and how this affects time to and/or success of weaning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence from randomized-controlled trials demonstrating that nutritional support improves clinical outcomes in the population of malnourished medical inpatients. We investigated associations of trial characteristics including clinical setting, duration of intervention, individualization of nutritional support and amount of energy and protein, and effects on clinical outcomes in an updated meta-analysis. METHODS We searched Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and EMBASE, from inception to December 15, 2020. Randomized-controlled trials investigating the effect of oral and enteral nutritional support interventions, when compared to usual care, on clinical outcomes of malnourished non-critically ill medical inpatients were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. The primary endpoint was all cause-mortality within 12-months. RESULTS We included 29 randomized-controlled trials with a total of 7,166 patients. Heterogeneity across RCTs was high, with overall moderate study quality and mostly moderate or unclear risk of bias. Overall, there was an almost 30%-reduction in mortality in patients receiving nutritional support compared to patients not receiving nutritional support (253/2960 [8.5%] vs. 336/2976 [11.3%]) with an odds ratio of 0.72 (95% CI 0.57 to 0.91, p = 0.006). The most important predictors for the effect of nutritional trials on mortality were high protein strategies (odds ratio 0.57 vs. 0.93, I2 = 86.3%, p for heterogenity = 0.007) and long-term nutritional interventions (odds ratio 0.53 vs. 0.85, I2 = 76.2%, p for heterogenity = 0.040). Nutritional support also reduced unplanned hospital readmissions and length of hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS There is increasing evidence from randomized trials showing that nutritional support significantly reduces mortality, unplanned hospital readmissions and length of stay in medical inpatients at nutritional risk, despite heterogeneity and varying methodological quality among trials. Trials with high-protein strategies and long-lasting nutritional support interventions were most effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) severely impacted the management of critically ill patients, including nutritional therapy. This study aimed to verify an association between mortality and the energy and protein provided to critically ill patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 and receiving enteral nutrition support. METHODS Patients with confirmed COVID-19, with >7 days of stay in the ICU, on enteral nutrition were followed from the moment of hospitalization until discharge from the ICU or death. Data about age, gender, Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS3), intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, days on mechanical ventilation (MV), clinical endpoint outcome (discharge or death), and daily energy and protein provision were collected from electronic medical records. Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meyer curves were used in statistical analysis. RESULTS Fifty-two patients (66.2 ± 13.1 years; 53.8% women) were enrolled in the present study. The mean length of hospitalizations and SAPS3 score were 17.8 ± 9.8 days and 78.7 ± 14.7, respectively; all patients needed mechanical ventilation (mean of days was 16.42 ± 9.1). For most patients (73.1%) the endpoint was death. Twenty-five percent of patients had protein supply >0.8 g/IBW/day. Survival during COVID-19 hospitalization at ICU was significantly different among patients according to protein supply (p = 0.005). Hazard Ratios (HR) for protein supply showed that a protein intake >0.8 g/IBW/day was associated with significantly lower mortality (HR 0.322, p = 0.049). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that a protein supply at least > 0.8 g/IBW/day could be related to reduced mortality in ICU patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutrient content consumed by children and adolescents on home-prepared versus chef-prepared specific carbohydrate diets (SCD) as therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS Dietary intake of two cohorts with active IBD initiating the SCD over 12 weeks was assessed. The home-prepared cohort received detailed guidance from dietitians on implementation of the SCD. The chef in the other cohort was knowledgeable in the SCD and prepared meals from a fixed set of recipes. Data from 3-day diet diaries at 4 different time points were collected. US Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) were calculated for macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. RESULTS Eight participants on the homemade SCD and 5 participants on the chef-prepared SCD were included in analysis. Mean % RDA for energy intake was 115% and 87% for homemade and chef-prepared groups (p<0.01). Mean % RDA for protein intake was 337% for homemade SCD and 216% for chef-prepared SCD (p<0.01). The homemade SCD group had higher mean % RDA values for vitamin A and iron, while the chef-prepared SCD group had higher intake of vitamins B1, B2, D, phosphorus and zinc (p<0.01 for all). CONCLUSION The SCD implemented homemade versus chef-prepared can result in significantly different intake of nutrients and this may influence efficacy of this dietary therapy. Meal preparation dynamics and the motivation of families who pursue dietary treatment may play an important role on the foods consumed and the outcomes on dietary therapy with the SCD.

Abstract
Early oral feeding is the preferred mode of nutrition for surgical patients. Avoidance of any nutritional therapy bears the risk of underfeeding during the postoperative course after major surgery. Considering that malnutrition and underfeeding are risk factors for postoperative complications, early enteral feeding is especially relevant for any surgical patient at nutritional risk, especially for those undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery. The focus of this guideline is to cover both nutritional aspects of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept and the special nutritional needs of patients undergoing major surgery, e.g. for cancer, and of those developing severe complications despite best perioperative care. From a metabolic and nutritional point of view, the key aspects of perioperative care include the integration of nutrition into the overall management of the patient, avoidance of long periods of preoperative fasting, re-establishment of oral feeding as early as possible after surgery, the start of nutritional therapy immediately if a nutritional risk becomes apparent, metabolic control e.g. of blood glucose, reduction of factors which exacerbate stress-related catabolism or impaired gastrointestinal function, minimized time on paralytic agents for ventilator management in the postoperative period, and early mobilization to facilitate protein synthesis and muscle function.

Abstract
The Metabolism and Nutrition Working Group of the Spanish Society of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC) has reviewed and updated the recommendations for specialized nutritional and metabolic support in critically ill patients published by the Group in 2011, with the primary aim of helping decision making in daily clinical practice. The recommendations have been formulated by an expert panel with broad experience in nutritional and metabolic support in critically ill patients, and were drafted between March 2016 and February 2019. A level of evidence has been provided for each of the recommendations, based on the GRADE methodology (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Working Group). A grade of recommendation has also been produced, taking into account the clinical impact of the recommendation, regardless of the level of evidence established by the GRADE scale.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathways include evidence-based items designed to accelerate recovery after surgery. Interdisciplinarity is one of the key points of ERAS programs. OBJECTIVE To prepare a consensus document among the members of the Nutrition Area of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) and the Spanish Group for Multimodal Rehabilitation (GERM), in which the goal is to homogenize the nutritional and metabolic management of patients included in an ERAS program. METHODS 69 specialists in Endocrinology and Nutrition and 85 members of the GERM participated in the project. After a literature review, 79 statements were proposed, divided into 5 sections: 17 of general characteristics, 28 referring to the preoperative period, 4 to the intraoperative, 13 to the perioperative and 17 to the postoperative period. The degree of consensus was determined through a Delphi process of 2 circulations that was ratified by a consistency analysis. RESULTS Overall, in 61 of the 79 statements there was a consistent agreement, with the degree of consensus being greater among members of the SEEN (64/79) than members of the GERM (59/79). Within the 18 statements where a consistent agreement was not reached, we should highlight some important nutritional strategies such as muscle mass assessment, the start of early oral feeding or pharmaconutrition. CONCLUSION Consensus was reached on the vast majority of the nutritional measures and care included in ERAS programs. Due to the lack of agreement on certain key points, it is necessary to continue working closely with both societies to improve the recovery of the surgical patients.

Abstract
Background & aims Evidence suggests the existence of an association between the institution of nutritional therapy and clinical outcomes in patients with critical COVID-19. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of nutritional assistance on COVID-19 mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). Methods This is a subset of the cohort “Influence of nutritional therapy on clinical prognosis in patients with COVID-19: a multicenter retrospective cohort study”. Clinical and nutrition assistance information (type of assistance, evaluation of anthropometric status, and time of introduction of nutritional therapy) and presence of diabetes, hypertension and previous respiratory disease were collected from electronic medical records. To evaluate the association between the variables of interest and mortality, the hazard ratio was estimated. Results We evaluated 153 critically ill patients ≥18 years old, affected by COVID-19, with a rate of mortality of 77.8%. Among non survivors 58.8% were female, 52.9% aged <65 years, 66.4% had arterial hypertension, 46.2% diabetes mellitus and 81.5% had an early onset of nutritional support. Initiation of nutritional therapy after 48 h (HR: 2.57; 95% CI: 1.57–4.20) and the presence of obesity (HR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.04–2.31) were associated with higher mortality, even after adjustment for potential confounders. Conclusions Our data suggests that the provision of early nutritional therapy should be prioritized, with greater attention directed to obese patients, and the nutritional assistance can contribute favorably to the clinical evolution and prognosis of critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is highly invasive with unsatisfactory postoperative complication rates. Nutritional and fluid management after major surgery attracts much attention with regard to the reduction in severe postoperative complications. We retrospectively analyzed PD cases and proposed a novel strategy for perioperative fluid and nutritional therapy according to the risk stratification by pancreatic fistula (PF) and delayed gastric emptying (DGE). METHODS Between 2003 and 2018, 140 patients underwent PD at our institute of which 134 patients were enrolled. We evaluated the clinicopathological factors affecting severe (≥10%) body weight loss (BWL), factors affecting the incidence of PF and intraabdominal complications (IAC), and factors related to DGE. RESULTS Multivariate analysis indicated that male sex, severe PF, and DGE are significant risk factors for BWL ≥10%. PF and IAC were predominantly observed in male patients and those with non-pancreatic cancer. A fluid balance ≥6000 ml on postoperative day 2 was the sole risk factor for primary DGE. Secondary DGE significantly correlated with stomach preserving PD. Importantly, the average BWL was around 15% in grade B or C secondary DGE. CONCLUSION Severe postoperative complications resulted in significant BWL. Enteral feeding is unnecessary in cases with a hard pancreas and dilated pancreatic duct if appropriate perioperative fluid management is performed. Secondary DGE followed by PF or IAC is unavoidable to some extent, especially in the case of soft pancreas with a fine pancreatic duct. In such cases, enteral feeding with tube ileostomy should be considered, and stomach preserving PD is likely to be harmful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS To aid in dietary prescription and contribute to the promotion of food and nutritional safety of individuals, this study's objective was to compare the nutritional composition and cost of homemade preparations, blended preparations, and commercial enteral formula prescribed for adults and elderly people at hospital discharge. METHODS All hospitals in a Brazilian city that prescribed the three types of enteral formulations provide information about enteral formulations prescribed for home use. Enteral formulations were estimated in relation to energy content, macronutrients, micronutrients, and cost. RESULTS Homemade diets, blended and commercial enteral formulations showed, on average, normoproteic, normoglicidic and normolipidic features, with average daily costs (US$/2000 kcal) of US$ 29.77, 50.56 and 154.44, respectively. The cost was higher in the commercial enteral formulas (P < .001); vitamin and mineral content were poorer in homemade preparations. CONCLUSIONS The homemade and blended enteral preparations cost less, but were generally lower in micronutrients, calling for more adequate dietary prescription.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to discuss recent evidence and controversies regarding nutrition as a treatment modality for heart failure (HF) patients. RECENT FINDINGS Adequate nutrition is known to promote health-related quality of life by addressing malnutrition and promoting optimal functioning among older adults and has an established role in the prevention of HF; however, evidence is limited on the effects of nutrition as a treatment modality in HF. While guidance of sodium restriction to address fluid overload is an ongoing debate among experts, evidence from case studies and small clinical trials suggest a positive impact of plant-based and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary patterns on HF-related pathophysiology, quality of life, hospital admissions, and mortality. More clinical trials are needed to establish an evidence base to support dietary management strategies for patients with HF. Clinical and Translational Science Alliances (CTSAs) may provide infrastructure to overcome enrollment barriers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) carries a high risk for malnutrition owing to the state of debilitation that results from acute respiratory failure symptoms. The aim of this study was to provide an approach to reduce the risk for malnutrition and improve patients' clinical outcomes. METHODS Short age-adjusted Nutritional Risk Screening was performed with 94 non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted to the Giovanni Borea Civil Hospital in Sanremo. Forty-nine patients in the ICU were considered at risk for malnutrition without screening and were fed with enteral nutrition plus supplemental parenteral nutrition. In the non-ICU setting, patients underwent a personalized nutritional protocol, considering their conditions, which consisted of a high-protein and high-calorie pureed diet, oral nutritional supplements, and/or artificial nutrition or other personalized nutritional path. RESULTS The nutritional treatment was well tolerated by the patients. Of the non-ICU patients, 19.1% died. They were mainly women, with higher body mass indices and older in age. Of the patients in the ICU, 53.1% died. Of the 94 non-ICU patients, 72 scored positive on at least one nutritional risk screening item (excluding age). Of the 94 non-ICU patients, 68 were >70 y of age. Non-ICU patients whose energy and protein needs were not met were older (P = 0.01) and had a higher death rate than patients whose needs were met (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This protocol should not be considered as a guideline; rather, it is intended to report the clinical experience of a nutrition team in an Italian reference center for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Nutritional strategies should be implemented to prevent worsening of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The COVID-19 pandemic is a unique disease process that has caused unprecedented challenges for intensive care specialists. The hyperinflammatory hypermetabolic nature of the disease and the complexity of its management create barriers to the delivery of nutritional therapy. This review identifies the key differences which characterize this pandemic from other disease processes in critical illness and discusses alternative strategies to enhance success of nutritional support. RECENT FINDINGS Prolonged hyperinflammation, unlike any previously described pattern of response to injury, causes metabolic perturbations and deterioration of nutritional status. High ventilatory demands, hypercoagulation with the risk of bowel ischemia, and threat of aspiration in patients with little or no pulmonary reserve, thwart initial efforts to provide early enteral nutrition (EN). The obesity paradox is invalidated, tolerance of EN is limited, intensivists are reluctant to add supplemental parenteral nutrition (PN), and efforts to give sufficient nutritional therapy remain a low priority. The nature of the disease and difficulties providing traditional critical care nutrition lead to dramatic deterioration of nutritional status. Institutions should not rely on insufficient gastric feeding alone but focus instead on redoubling efforts to provide postpyloric deep duodenal/jejunal EN or re-examine the role of supplemental PN in this population of patients with such severe critical illness.

Abstract
When the natural oral intake of food and liquids is disturbed the role of caregivers is to assist the patient in order to cover the individual's need for nutrition by nutrition therapy. Nutrition therapy is a medical intervention, which requires an indication for achieving a treatment goal and the informed consent of the competent patient. Withholding and withdrawing nutrition therapy and artificial hydration must be evaluated in specific situations (terminally ill, palliative care, dementia, aged patients) and always case by case according to the patients' cultural and spiritual needs. In the case of ethical issues or dilemmas, application of the four principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice is recommended. These principles assist the caregiver in the decision as whether to feed or not to feed. Caregivers must emphasize the right to self-determination and thus to respect the autonomy of the patient, and also the particular vulnerability of the patient suffering from or at risk of malnutrition. Caregivers must be ethically capable of responding to the nutritional needs according to the patient's will and desires even if the patient is not capable of self-determination, always looking for the best benefit to the patient and avoiding harm.
