Filter by:Rationale: Undernutrition risk among community-dwelling older adults in developed countries is shown to be around 24%. Increasing protein intake is a strategy that is feasible as well as efficacious to reduce undernutrition in community-dwelling older adults. A promising strategy to increase protein intake among older adults, is to offer dietary solutions with normal foods that fit their current daily eating patterns. For this reason, home-delivered protein-rich readymade meals and protein-rich dairy products will be studied in this research. Objective: The primary objective is to study the effectiveness of commercially available protein-rich readymade meals and protein-rich dairy products in increasing protein intake of older adults who use a meal-delivery service to a level of 1.2 g/kg bodyweight/d. Secondary objectives include: studying effects of these meals and dairy products on total daily energy intake. Further, studying the acceptance of and compliance to the meals and dairy products. Study design: The study will be performed as a single-blind randomized, controlled, four-week trial in a real-life setting: in community-dwelling older adults' own homes. Study population: The target group of this study are community-dwelling older adults who use a meal-delivery service. Intervention: Both groups will receive readymade meals for each day during 4 weeks. They will also receive dairy products to freely consume during the intervention period. The intervention groups receives protein-rich meals and protein-rich dairy products, the control receives standard meals and food products. Main study parameters/endpoints: Difference in daily protein intake between intervention and control group. Secondary parameters: energy intake and acceptance (liking).
Obese patients, who underwent bariatric surgery, are at risk to develop protein malnutrition. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of postoperative protein supplementation on weight reduction, body composition and protein status.
The aim of this study is to describe the clinical presentation, indications, and operative treatment as well as assess the morbidity, mortality, and overall performance of revisional GBP after either failed and/or complicated Biliopancreatic Diversion "BPD" for weight loss. With such information, we hope to determine what features might assist us in advancing our knowledge about mechanisms of failure after primary bariatric surgery, mechanism of action of revisional GBP, and performance of revisional GBP through traditional outcome measurements as well as identifying predictors of good or poor outcome after revisional GBP in this specific subpopulation.
This study objectives are the following. - To describe the updated clinical presentation, indications, and multidisciplinary medical management of patients with a failed and/or complicated jejunoileal bypass (JIB). - To analyze the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic re-operative gastric bypass surgery for failed and/or complicated Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) for weight loss. - To determine what factors or strategies are associated with a successful outcome. In particular, the completion of the surgery in one stage with a laparoscopic approach.
