Filter by:We propose the Gluten Free Nutrition Optimization through Ultra-processed food Reduction and Improved Strategies for Health (GF-NOURISH) study to demonstrate the feasibility and success of a nutritional education program focused on naturally occurring gluten-free foods and minimizing ultra-processed gluten-free foods. We hypothesize that nutritional educational (GF-NOURISH) intervention will have multiple health benefits
Purpose: Undernutrition is common in neurologically impaired children. It increases the burden of comorbidities and affects the quality of life of these children. It must be recognized and treated as early as possible. This study aimed primarily to compare the efficacy of high-caloric whey-based partially hydrolyzed formula (HC-WPHF) versus standard feeding on the nutritional status reflected by growth parameters and feeding tolerance in undernourished children with neurological impairment (NI). The secondary aim was to compare the change in these parameters after using HC-WPHF for 3 and 6 months.
This prospective observational study evaluates the relationship between the objective oral health status and the patient reported diet in 64 adult patients undergoing elective major orthopaedic surgery (hip, knee, or spine surgery).
This study aimed to reveal the effects of prophylactic iron preparations, adequate breast milk intake, and iron-rich supplementary food intake in the prevention of IDA (iron deficiency anemia) and ID (iron deficiency) in infancy.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nutrition education on nutritional literacy, nutritional status, eating habits and eating behavior in high school students. The research will be conducted in six high schools, three of which are intervention schools and three of which are control schools It is planned that a total of 1000 students will be included in the study from the intervention school and 1000 students from the control school. At the beginning of the study (June 2022), an introductory form (sociodemographic characteristics, body image (Stunkart scale), dietary habits, knowledge about weight status) was applied to all students. Adolescent Nutrition Literacy Scale (ANLS), Instrument of Nutrition Literacy, Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KID-MED), Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) were applied, anthropometric measurements and three-day food consumption records were taken. During the study, nutrition initiatives consisting of 8 modules will be made to the intervention schools. Control schools will not be interfered with during this period.At the end of the study, the procedures applied at the beginning will be repeated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of nutrition therapy guided by indirect calorimetry and nitrogen balance among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. The main question it aims to answer whether nutrition therapy guided by indirect calorimetry and nitrogen balance could improve 28 days mortality among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury or not. type of study: clinical trial Participants will be provided enteral or parenteral nutrition after randomization(48-72 days after admissions) with total energy guided by indirect calorimetry measurements and total protein by nitrogen balance with maximum of 1.3 gram per kilogram per day for total of 14 days If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control groups (nutrition therapy provided by physician using clinical equation of choice or judgements to see if participants were provided with these interventions, their 28 days mortalities would be better
This is a single arm, prospective, multi-centre study to evaluate the gastrointestinal tolerance and compliance over a 7-day period with a plant based tube feed.
Growth-restricted very preterm infants (VPT) are born without adequate fat mass (FM) deposits and low docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations. They often experience further declines in DHA concentrations during the initial three weeks post-birth while advancing enteral feeds and receiving lipid supplementation predominantly through parenteral nutrition. These suboptimal enteral and parenteral nutrition practices significantly heighten the risk of faltering postnatal growth. One promising approach to mitigate these issues is enteral DHA supplementation. However, it remains unclear whether the early administration of DHA through enteral supplementation could lead to a more substantial increase in head growth without affecting FM accretion in growth-restricted VPT infants. To address this question, we propose a masked randomized clinical trial involving 152 VPT infants.
Novel barley varieties high in the soluble fiber β-glucan have the capacity to improve population health through improving glycemic control. Sweetened and unsweetened wholegrain barley foods were tested in a randomized, controlled, crossover human clinical trial to assess impact on postprandial appetite and food intake.
Nutrients important to bones. Because bones undergo continuous remodeling, an adequate supply of nutrient substrate is needed to support the formation phase of bone remodeling. In addition to their passive roles as substrate for bone formation, dietary calcium and protein play active roles in bone metabolism, as well as phosphorus and vitamin D. Other vitamins and minerals are also needed for metabolic processes related to bone, directly or indirectly.
