Empirical reached through series face‐to‐face meetings, telephone conferences,...
Abstract Background The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) approach to malnutrition diagnosis is based assessment of three phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, and reduced skeletal muscle mass) two etiologic (reduced food intake/assimilation disease burden/inflammation) criteria, with confirmed by fulfillment any combination at least one criterion. original GLIM description provided limited guidance regarding inflammation, this has been a factor impeding further...

The prevalence of malnutrition ranges up to 50% among patients in hospitals worldwide, and disease-related is all too common long-term other health care settings as well. Regrettably, the numbers have not improved over past decade. consequences are serious, including increased complications (pressure ulcers, infections, falls), longer hospital stays, more frequent readmissions, costs care, higher risk mortality. Yet still goes unrecognized undertreated. To help improve nutrition around...
Mucositis affects about 40 % of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Short chain fatty acids (SCFA), mainly butyrate, are claimed to improve mucosal integrity, reduce intestinal permeability and act as anti-inflammatory agents for the colon mucosa. We evaluated effects oral administration SCFA or butyrate in 5FU-induced mucositis. Mice received water, during all experiment (10 days) a single dose 5FU (200 mg/kg) 3 days before euthanasia. inflammatory histological score by morphometry, activity...

The for collected correlated sex, age, surgical disease (malignancies or benign disease), operation type, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, type hospital (public private),...

Malnutrition in critically ill adults the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with a significantly elevated risk of mortality. Adequate nutrition therapy crucial to optimise outcomes. Currently, there paucity such data Latin America. Our aims were characterise current clinical practices ICU setting America and evaluate whether meet caloric protein requirements patients receiving therapy. We conducted cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study eight American countries (Argentina,...
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) provides consensus criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition that can be widely applied. GLIM approach is based assessment three phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, and skeletal muscle mass) two etiologic (low food intake presence disease with systemic inflammation) criteria, confirmed by any combination one criterion fulfilled. Assessment less commonly performed than other its interpretation may straightforward, particularly...
