Data on the prevalence of malnutrition among patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are lacking. The aim of the present study was to assess nutritional risk at admission, and the status of nutritional support in the UK SCI Centres (SCIC); a cross-sectional, multicentre study in four SCIC. A standardised questionnaire was used and distributed to the participating SCIC. After obtaining informed...

The high prevalence of malnutrition in the growing population of older adults makes malnutrition screening critical, especially in hospitalized elderly patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of the MNA® Mini Nutritional Assessment in hospitalized older adults for rapid evaluation of nutritional risk. A prospective cohort study was made of 106 patients 65 years old or older admit...

OBJECTIVE Malnutrition results in poor health outcomes, and people with Parkinson's disease may be more at risk of malnutrition. However, the prevalence of malnutrition in Parkinson's disease is not yet well defined. The aim of this study is to provide an estimate of the extent of malnutrition in community-dwelling people with Parkinson's disease. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of pe...

Background: Malnutrition in the ICU patients increases morbidity, mortality, cost, and mechanical ventilation (MV) duration. Nutric score has been validated as a screening tool critically ill to identify at risk of malnutrition. The pathophysiology malnutrition is caused by severity disease inflammation resulting hypercatabolism. Delivering protein-energy intake will reduce hypercatabolism main...

Abstract Malnutrition is a common complication of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients and it correlated with alterations the body composition activity. Our prospective pilot study included hospitalised CD patients, age ≥ 18 years. Patients were assessed using Nutritional Risk Score (NRS2002), Universal Screening Tool (MUST), bioelectrical impedance analysis. Twenty-three (median 36.5, interquartile r...

Introduction: Inadequate supply of nutrients to the fetus results in fetal malnutrition. As a result, fails grow resulting intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Though Small for Gestational Age (SGA) is used synonymously IUGR but later shows evidence To detect malnutrition various methods are being currently. CAN clinical method nutritional status through physical examination. Detection by sc...

BACKGROUND: In a cardiac septal defect, there is left-to-right shunt at the atrial, ventricle level, or both. This causes clinical symptoms of heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, malnutrition. NTproBNP synthesized and released into circulation by ventricular myocytes in response to pressure, volume overload, increase myocardial wall stress. AIM: study aims evaluate relationship between level...

Abstract Background Frailty is a nutrition related condition which potentially reversible if modifiable risk factors including malnutrition are identified at an early stage. National guidance recommends identification of and provision timely, appropriate oral nutritional support. Over ⅓ older adults presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) malnourished/at malnutrition. This study evaluates i...

BACKGROUND Malnutrition, low muscle strength and muscle mass are highly prevalent in older hospitalized patients and associated with adverse outcomes. Malnutrition may be a risk factor for developing low muscle mass. We aimed to investigate the association between the risk of malnutrition and 1) muscle strength and muscle mass at admission and 2) the change of muscle strength and muscle mass du...

DESIGN Randomized trial of induction-maintenance and monitoring strategies in HIV-infected children. SETTING Three tertiary hospitals in Uganda and one in Zimbabwe. PARTICIPANTS 1207 HIV-infected children, median age 6 years (range, 3 months to 17 years). ...
