Filter by:A fundamental strategy to improve adherence to nutritional treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease is the implementation of educational programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary educational program on dietary adherence, nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, metabolic control and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease, predialysis, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out, in which patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to three possible groups: predialysis educational intervention, dialysis educational intervention and control group. At the initial visit, the nutritional status will be evaluated by means of anthropometric parameters, screening and dynamometry, the biochemical parameters of interest will be extracted from the clinical record, nutritional knowledge and quality of life will be evaluated, and the diet will be explained. In the second visit, adherence to the diet will be evaluated and the food registry will be carried out. In the intervention groups, the educational program will begin with a duration of five months. Patients will come twice a month to the hospital to participate in the educational sessions and attend group psychology sessions. After completion of the educational program, the same measurements as at the beginning of the study will be carried out in the three groups.
The objective of this randomized controlled, prospective clinical study, composed of 5 groups, G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 is [Evaluate the intestinal microbiota profile, nutritional, immunological status and inflammatory profile, before and after total or partial removal surgery (gastrectomies) for gastric cancer, in a patient using probiotic supplements.] The main questions it aims to answer are: - probiotics are capable of modulating the immune response and microbiota in cancer patients who will undergo surgery - surgery itself alters the immunological pattern and microbiota of cancer patients Participants will be divided into groups for evaluation and the G1 intervention group will take probiotic capsules. The researchers will compare groups G1, G2 with G3 (negative control group) to see if there are differences between using probiotics or not, in controlling the immune response and if there are significant changes in their intestinal microbiota. Groups G4 and G5 will also be compared, where in these we will only measure the power of the use of probiotics in reducing surgical complications in the postoperative period.
Background: In the management of hypertension lifestyle changes are recommended along with pharmacological treatment. Aims: This randomized controlled intervention study aimed to compare the effects of a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a salt-free diet on blood pressure in hypertension patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 60 patients with primary hypertension. One group (n=30) was given an individualized DASH diet, the other group was given a salt-free diet (n=30), and the participants were followed for two months. The patients' blood pressures were monitored daily throughout the study, and their biochemical parameters were monitored at the beginning of the study, in the first and second months.
Cross-sectional study. Data on clinical, anthropometric, biochemical profile and dietary intake Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients upon admission are traced and collected.
The research was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effects of the cup and bottle used during the first oral feeding on physiological characteristics and feeding performance in preterm infants. The research was carried out between January 2021 and February 2022 at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Göztepe Süleyman Yalçın City Hospital. Research data were obtained from preterm infants who were born before 34 weeks of gestation, appropriate to selection of study group criterias and hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. A total of 80 babies in the sample group were randomly assigned to the experimental (bottle) and control (cup) groups. Oxygen saturation, heart rate, feeding performance and test weight before, during and after feeding of preterms in both groups were compared. There was no statistically significantly difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of oxygen saturation and heart rate.
This study compares the status of key micronutrients (vitamins A, C, D, E, and zinc) in young children given investigational fortified milk versus young children consuming their habitual pattern of beverage intake (milk and non-milk beverages).
Vegetarian diets have low environmental footprints and are potential solutions to address climate change and the 2030 Agenda on the Sustainable Development Goals. Currently, there is no information regarding the nutritional quality of vegetarian diets in Portugal. As the trend for vegetarianism increases in the country, the aim of this study is to examine and compare nutritional and metabolic outcomes among vegetarian and non-vegetarian populations. We aim to implement a cross-sectional study that includes a total of 400 (distributed among the three diferent groups of omnivorous, lacto-ovovegatarians and vegans) healthy Portuguese adults aged 18-64 years. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will be assessed for blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, micronutrient status, blood lipids, glicaemia and insuline resistance and will complete a validated food frequency questionnaire as well as a sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire. Dietary and nutrient analysis will be conducted to assess diet quality and nutritional inadequacies. The current proposal provides an unique opportunity to characterize and compare different population groups clustered by dietary behaviour and provide evidence that help achieve healthy and sustainable diets in Portugal.
To obtain up-to-date data on nutritional status of older adults, a national dietary survey will be conducted in 2022/2023, providing data on the consumption of foods and enabling the assessment intakes of energy and specific nutrients. Participating subjects will be also screened for micronutrient status using blood biomarkers (focusing into vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron).
The study will be conducted using the crossover randomized controlled method. Preterm infants who began oral feeding from the neonatal intensive care unit will be divided into two groups through randomization in the computer environment. Following the randomization, infants in Group 1 will be fed by applying ''elastic sac'' at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and in the next feeding they will be fed without performing any application. Infants in Group 2 will be fed without performing any application at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and they will be fed at the second feeding hour by applying ''elastic sac''. Infants in both groups will be fed by the researcher with a bottle in a semi-fowler right lateral position during feeding hours. During feeding, the effect of the elastic sac on the infant's feeding status and physiological parameters will be evaluated.
Agricultural biodiversity can have an important role in improving diet diversity, quality and nutrition and can be seen as the foundation of the food and nutrition value chain. Increasing the availability and access to local agricultural and/or wild biodiversity genetic resources has the potential to increase production, making more food available for consumption as long as entitlements to access it exist. However, as the history of food security interventions has shown, increasing the production and supply of staple crops alone is not enough to improve food security or nutritional status. However, while agricultural diversification is an important component, it is not alone sufficient to improve diet diversity. Other system elements including women's education and knowledge, intra-household dynamics and women's status and cultural beliefs and practices that improves children's health and nutrition are important to ensure biodiversity has a successful role in improving dietary diversity and quality.
