Filter by:Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) can occur when there is a deficient supply of energy, protein and/or other nutrients, depending on the nutritional needs of each individual at different times of their life cycle or health or disease circumstances. This deficiency induces effects on body composition and tissue and organ function and results in clinical consequences: increased morbidity and mortality associated with different disease processes. There are techniques for nutritional assessment using assessment tools aimed at morphofunctional diagnosis of malnutrition, in addition to the classical nutritional parameters, such as weight loss, BMI, folds, circumferences, albumin, lymphocytes, cholesterol and intake. New advanced parameters are being incorporated into clinical nutrition and their incorporation into clinical practice is of increasing interest, such as measures derived from bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and phase angle (PhA), dynamometry, functional tests, CRP/prealbumin ratio and muscle ultrasound. In 2019, the GLIM criteria were published, providing a different vision of how to assess the malnourished patient. Phenotypic criteria include reduction in muscle mass (measured using validated techniques to measure body composition). The objective of the study is to highlight nutritional ultrasound for measuring muscle and functional status in order to make a more accurate diagnosis and a better prediction of complications and morbidity and mortality in this type of patients.
A multicentre, prospective, open-label, single arm study for 2 months, involving adult patients under poorly tolerated Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN). The study aims to analyse the evolution of tolerance and quality of life of HEN patients after switching from a High Protein High Energy (HPHE) polymeric Enteral Nutrition (EN) formula with or without fibre to Sondalis® HP 2kcal, with or without fibre. Eligible patients will give their written consent to participate before being included into the study.
Rationale: The aim of the study was to compare the glycemic and insulinemic response of malnourished patients with type 2 diabetes after oral feed between a diabetic oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and a standard one. Methods: Randomized, double-blind, crossover, multicenter clinical trial, conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes and a diagnosis of malnutrition (SGA). Patients were randomized to receive two ONS: diabetic (Bi1 diacare hp/hc) or control (standard, isocaloric and isoproteic), a week apart. A glycemia and insulinemia curve was made at times: 0', 30', 60', 90', 120', and 180', after drank 200 ml of the ONS. The analyzed variables were the area under the curve (AUC 0-t) of glucosa and insulin, and the maximum concentration of glucose (Cmax).
This study aims to assess the digestibility and efficacy of the study groups previously developed innovative plant-based protein and fibre products.
Malnutrition is common in patients with lung cancer. In patients with malnutrition risk, the risk of complications is high both in the perioperative, early and late postoperative periods. Malnutrition is an independent risk factor for length of hospital stay and cost in these patients. Patients with lung cancer may have many morbidities in postoperative period, especially problems with wound healing. Therefore, assessment of the nutritional status of patients with lung cancer should begin at the diagnosis stage.
The cannabinoid has benefits in many aspects but the evidence of the effect of cannabinoids in humans with SSc is limited. We, therefore, would like to investigate the efficacy of cannabinoids on the appetite, sleep efficiency, quality of life, pain, and critical cytokine level in SSc compared with placebo in SSc patients and the adverse events associated with cannabinoids in those patients.
Randomized clinical study with a control group for assessing the decrease in the incidence of pneumonia, in a 12-month follow-up, in older people with cognitive impairment, risk of bronchial aspiration, risk of malnutrition and dependence to perform basic activities of daily living, through the design and implementation of an educational program. to the caregivers of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the main malnutrition risk assessment tools in patients undergoing operations of general surgery.
An open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-way crossover bioequivalence study to compare two strengths (10 mg and 20 mg) of IMP4297 capsules in healthy Chinese subjects under fed condition
Food is available in easy-to-grip bites that allow residents in care settings to use their fingers for food. This new way of eating can help limit weight loss, increase food intake, gain independence and improve the enjoyment of eating for residents.
