Hypoenergetic nutrition support in hospitalized obese patients

Hypoenergetic and strongly hypoenergetic trees

The energy E(G) of a graph G is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. An n-vertex graph is said to be hypoenergetic if E(G) < n and strongly hypoenergetic if E(G) < n−1. In this paper, we consider hypoenergetic and strongly hypoenergetic trees. For any given n, the existence of both hypoenergetic and strongly hypoenergetic trees of order n is completely characterized.

Nutritional risk, malnutrition (undernutrition), overweight, obesity and nutrition support among hospitalized patients in Beijing teaching hospitals.

The purpose of this study was to test the suitability of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) among hospitalized patients and to determine the prevalence of nutritional risk, undernutrition, overweight, obesity, nutritional support and the changes of nutritional risk from admission to discharge or over a two-week period. A prospective descriptive design was used to describe patients' data...

Wilson’s Disease: Nutrition Support

Wilson’s disease (WD) or hepato-lenticular degeneration is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder. A prevalence rate of 30 cases per million and a birth incidence rate of one per 30,000 to 40,000 are often quoted. In 40 to 50% of individuals with WD, hepatic dysfunction is the initial clinical manifestation. With the exception of liver transplantation, treatment of WD is only palliative and intend...

A.S.P.E.N. clinical guidelines: nutrition support of hospitalized pediatric patients with obesity.

Methods to evaluate the nutrition risk in hospitalized patients.

The rate of malnutrition is substantially high both in the population and in chronic patients hospitalized because of different reasons. The rate of patients with no marked malnutrition at the time of hospitalization who develop malnutrition during hospitalization is also substantially high. Therefore, there are currently different screening methods with different targets to prevent malnutritio...
