[Prevention of eating disorders in obesity]. / Prevención de los trastornos de laconducta alimentaria en la obesidad.

Introduction: Obesity is a public health problem due to its high prevalence, high morbidity, and high mortality. The relationship between eating disorders (ED) and obesity is widely established. A healthcare professional that cares for people with obesity must take into account a series of best practices to minimize the risk of developing an ED in the course of treatment for weight loss. Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective, long-term treatment in selected patients with severe obesity. During the preoperative period, it is essential to detect any ED due to its high prevalence in this group. After surgery, the presence of a post-op ED and its possible relationship in terms of poorer outcomes make screening during follow-up after surgery essential. From a preventive perspective, cognitive-behavioral therapy before BS could positively influence postoperative results, and its use after BS could improve weight loss efficacy and reduce binge eating and grazing. From a more holistic preventive perspective, many believe in an integrative approach to both obesity and ED. In order to be successful, it is essential to identify any relevant risk and protective factors for both disorders.

Introducción: La obesidad constituye un problema de salud pública por su alta prevalencia y elevada morbimortalidad. La relación entre los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) y la obesidad está ampliamente establecida. Es importante que el profesional que atiende a personas con obesidad tenga en cuenta una serie de premisas que minimicen el riesgo de aparición de un trastorno alimentario en el transcurso del tratamiento para perder peso. La cirugía bariátrica (CB) constituye un tratamiento efectivo a largo plazo en los pacientes adecuadamente seleccionados con obesidad grave. Por un lado, la elevada prevalencia de los TCA en este colectivo hace imprescindible la detección de estos trastornos en el preoperatorio. Por otro lado, la presencia de los TCA después de la cirugía y su posible relación en cuanto a peores resultados hace fundamental el cribado durante el seguimiento tras la intervención. Desde el punto de vista preventivo, la realización de una terapia cognitivo-conductual antes de la CB podría influir positivamente en los resultados posoperatorios y su empleo después podría mejorar la eficacia en cuanto a pérdida de peso y disminuir los atracones y el "grazing". Desde una perspectiva más global en relación a la prevención, son muchos quienes apuestan por un enfoque integrador para la obesidad y los TCA. Para ello es fundamental identificar los factores de riesgo y los protectores que tengan relevancia en ambos trastornos.

[Home and Ambulatory Artificial Nutrition (NADYA) Group report: home parenteral nutrition in Spain, 2019]. / Nutrición parenteral domiciliaria en España, 2019: informe del Grupo de Nutrición Artificial Domiciliaria y Ambulatoria NADYA.

INTRODUCTION: Aim: to communicate the home parenteral nutrition (HPN) data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2019. Material and methods: a descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1 to December 31, 2019. Results: a total of 283 patients (51.9 % women), 31 children, and 252 adults from 47 Spanish hospitals were registered, which represents a prevalence rate of 6.01 patients per million inhabitants for year 2019. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative oncological" and "others" (21.0 %). In children, it was Hirschsprung's disease together with necrotizing enterocolitis, alterations in intestinal motility, and chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, with 4 cases each (12.9 %). The first reason for the indication was short-bowel syndrome in both children (51.6 %) and adults (37.3 %). The most used type of catheter was tunnelled both in children (75.9 %) and in adults (40.8 %). Sixty-eight episodes ended, all in adults, and the most frequent cause was death (54.4 %); 38.2 % were switched to oral. Conclusions: the number of collaborating centers and professionals in the NADYA registry is increasing. The main indications and reasons for HPN termination remain stable.

En los niños fue la enfermedad de Hirschsprung junto a la enterocolitis necrotizante, las alteraciones de la motilidad intestinal y la pseudoobstrucción intestinal crónica, con 4 casos cada uno (12,9 %). El primer motivo de indicación fue el síndrome del intestino corto tanto en los niños (51,6 %) como en los adultos (37,3 %). El tipo de catéter más utilizado fue el tunelizado tanto en los niños (75,9 %) como en los adultos (40,8 %). Finalizaron 68 episodios, todos en adultos: la causa más frecuente fue el fallecimiento (54,4 %). Pasaron a la vía oral el 38,2 %. Conclusiones: el número de centros y profesionales colaboradores con el registro NADYA va incrementándose. Se mantienen estables las principales indicaciones y los motivos de finalización de la NPD.

[Nutritional education protocol in the treatment of eating disorders in the clinical and care settings]. / Protocolo de educación nutricional en el tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en el ámbito clínico y asistencial.

INTRODUCTION: Nutrition education (NE), as part of the treatment of eating disorders (EDs), plays a crucial role in helping patients to change their food attitudes and routines, lose fears, and recover a healthy eating pattern. All these changes may contribute to improving their nutritional status. However, there is a lack of consensus and standardization concerning the procedures to teach it. This work's objective was to elaborate a consensual protocol for NE implementation in the treatment of EDs to help in decision-making regarding which patients are appropriate candidates to receive NE, the agents (family, school community) and professionals involved, and the areas in the healthcare system that are best suited for implementation. Moreover, it would help in selecting the the topics to be imparted, and in following up treatment progression.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La educación nutricional (EN), dentro del tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), juega un papel fundamental ya que contribuye a que el paciente modifique sus actitudes y rutinas en relación con la comida, pierda miedos y restablezca un patrón de alimentación saludable, favoreciendo de este modo su recuperación nutricional. Sin embargo, existe falta de consenso y estandarización acerca de los procedimientos para llevarla a cabo. El objetivo de este trabajo es elaborar un protocolo consensuado de EN en el contexto del tratamiento de los TCA que permita ayudar a la toma de decisiones sobre: los pacientes candidatos a recibirla, los agentes (familia, comunidad escolar) y profesionales implicados, los ámbitos de implementación de la intervención, la información sobre los pacientes que es necesario conocer, los temas, objetivos y contenidos a trabajar, y la necesidad de evaluación de la progresión del paciente y los programas desarrollados.

[de la evidencia y algoritmo adaptado Immunonutrition in fast-track surgical patients - Evidence review and adapted algorithm]. / Inmunonutrición del paciente quirúrgico en los procedimientos fast-track: revisión de la evidencia y algoritmo adaptado.

INTRODUCTION: Surgical stress predisposes patients to have immune dysfunction and an increased risk of infection. Malnourished surgical patients have higher postoperative morbidity and mortality rates, higher readmission rates, and higher hospital costs. The use of an immunomodulatory formula is associated in the ESPEN guidelines with a reduction in wound healing problems, suture failure, and infectious and global complications. Several authors have suggested that, since most clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of immunonutrition have been carried out in a traditional perioperative setting, it would be interesting to investigate its efficacy in a more controlled setting, such as in the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after Surgery) protocol. The objective of this work was: a) to define the role that immunonutrition should play in ERAS protocols based on the best scientific evidence available; b) to analyze the difficulties that continue to exist in real-life clinical practice to screen the nutritional risk of patients; c) to make a proposal of algorithms adapted to the characteristics of our environment regarding the screening, assessment, and nutritional treatment of surgical patients in fast-track surgery.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El estrés quirúrgico predispone a los pacientes a la disfunción inmune y a un mayor riesgo de infección. Los pacientes quirúrgicos desnutridos presentan una mayor morbimortalidad posoperatoria, mayores tasas de reingreso y costes hospitalarios más elevados. En las guías de la ESPEN se asocia el uso de una fórmula inmunomoduladora a una reducción significativa de los problemas de la cicatrización de heridas, de los fallos de la sutura y de las complicaciones infecciosas y globales. Varios autores han sugerido que, dado que la mayoría de los ensayos clínicos que evalúan la eficacia de la inmunonutrición se han realizado en un entorno perioperatorio tradicional, sería interesante investigar su eficacia en un entorno más controlado, como en el protocolo ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after Surgery). El objetivo de este trabajo es: a) definir el papel que debe jugar la inmunonutrición en los protocolos ERAS sobre la base de la mejor evidencia científica; b) analizar las dificultades que siguen existiendo en la práctica clínica real para realizar el cribado del riesgo nutricional del paciente; c) proponer unos algoritmos adaptados a las características de nuestro entorno sobre el cribado, la valoración y el tratamiento nutricional del paciente quirúrgico en modalidad fast-track.

A standardized, integral nutritional intervention and physical activity program reduces body weight in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Introduction: breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer among women in developed countries. At diagnosis, approximately 70 % of women are overweight, and the additional weight gain that can result from the ensuing treatments has been associated with cancer recurrence and progression. Objectives: the main objective was to compare the effect of only a nutritional intervention (CG) with a nutrition education program (nutritional intervention, nutrition education, and physical activity) (IG) for 1 year. Methods: a total of 65 women with breast cancer who had been evaluated at the Clinical Nutrition Department, La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain were recruited into 2 groups: a control group (CG) and an intervention group (IG). Results: the IG showed a significant reduction in body weight (-1.87 ± 3.41 vs. 1.48 ± 2.01 kg, p < 0.05), BMI (-0.61 ± 1.40 vs. 0.65 ± 0.88 kg/m2, p < 0.05), total cholesterol (-32.92 ± 38.45 vs. -3.23 ± 39.73 mg/dl, p < 0.05), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-35.29 ± 27.50 vs. 6.33 ± 40.70 mg/dl, p < 0.05). Both groups were shown to be more conscious of the importance of physical activity, with increased consumption of grains, fruits, oily fish, and dairy. Conclusions: dietary interventions and physical activity were shown to be important to achieving several physical and physiological benefits that could reduce some risk factors associated with breast cancer recurrence and progression.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Introducción: el cáncer de mama es el cáncer invasivo más común entre las mujeres de los países desarrollados. En el momento del diagnóstico, aproximadamente el 70 % de las mujeres tienen sobrepeso, y el aumento de peso adicional que puede resultar de los tratamientos subsiguientes se ha asociado con la recurrencia y progresión de la enfermedad. Objetivos: el objetivo principal del estudio fue comparar el efecto de solo una intervención nutricional (GC) con un programa integral de educación nutricional (intervención y educación nutricional y actividad física) (IG) durante 1 año. Métodos: un total de 65 mujeres con cáncer de mama previamente evaluadas en la Unidad de Nutrición Clínica y Dietética del Hospital Universitario La Paz, Madrid, España, fueron reclutadas y divididas en 2 grupos: grupo de control (GC) y grupo de intervención (GI). Resultados: el GI mostró una reducción significativa del peso corporal (-1,87 ± 3,41 vs. 1,48 ± 2,01 kg, p < 0,05), IMC (-0,61 ± 1,40 vs. 0,65 ± 0,88 kg/m2, p < 0,05), colesterol total (-32,92 ± 38,45 vs. -3,23 ± 39,73 mg/dl, p < 0,05) y colesterol unido a lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL) (-35,29 ± 27,50 vs. 6,33 ± 40,70 mg/dl, p < 0,05). Al finalizar el estudio, ambos grupos fueron más conscientes de la importancia de la actividad física y demostraron consumir una cantidad más elevada de cereales, frutas, pescado azul y lácteos. Conclusiones: las intervenciones dietéticas junto con la práctica de actividad física son importantes para lograr beneficios físicos y fisiológicos que podrían reducir algunos factores de riesgo asociados con la recurrencia y progresión del cáncer de mama.

[Comparison of the CONUT method with SGA and NSA for the prediction of complications, hospital stay, readmissions, and mortality]. / Comparación del método CONUT con la VGS y el VEN para la predicción de complicaciones, estancia hospitalaria, readmisiones y mortalidad.

INTRODUCTION: Introduction: disease-related malnutrition (DRM) is a specific type of malnutrition caused by the inflammatory response to the underlying disease. Its prevalence worldwide varies from 30 % to 50 %, being similar in Spanish hospitals. DRE is not commonly recognized but is usually misdiagnosed and generally not treated. It is associated with an increased risk of morbidity, mortality, and costs. Nutritional societies recommend that screening be performed within the first 24 to 48 hours after admission for the early detection of malnutrition. No screening tool is universally accepted. Objectives: to evaluate the predictive validity (hospital stay, complications, readmissions and mortality) of the CONUT method as compared to SGA and NSA. Material and method: a retrospective study included in a prospective observational study of 365 hospitalized patients from July to December 2012. Results: the most frequent admission services were Internal Medicine and Oncology (30.7 % and 29.3 %). Moderate and severe risk of malnutrition: CONUT, 42.2 % and 12.1 %, SGA 25.8 % and 10.1 %, and NSA 13.7 % and 14.5 %. Malnutrition evaluated using the CONUT method was significantly related to complications (p = 0.036), readmissions (p = 0.041) and mortality (p = 0.007). The ROC curves for mortality, for all the methods evaluated, showed that CONUT is the best tool. Conclusions: CONUT is an automatic detection tool that can be used as a first step in the diagnosis risk of malnutrition. CONUT offers the advantage of being a prognostic factor for complications, readmission, and mortality.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Introducción: la desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) es un tipo específico de desnutrición producida por la respuesta inflamatoria de la enfermedad de base. Su prevalencia en todo el mundo varía del 30 al 50 %, siendo similar en los hospitales españoles. La DRE no se reconoce comúnmente, se diagnostica inadecuadamente y generalmente no se trata. Se asocia a un mayor riesgo de morbilidad, mortalidad y costes. Las sociedades nutricionales recomiendan que el cribado se realice en las primeras 24 a 48 horas posteriores al ingreso para la detección temprana de la desnutrición. Ninguna herramienta de cribado se acepta universalmente. Objetivos: evaluar la validez predictiva (estancia hospitalaria, complicaciones, reingresos y mortalidad) del método CONUT en comparación con la VGS y el VEN. Material y método: estudio retrospectivo incluido en un prospectivo observacional de 365 pacientes hospitalizados de julio a diciembre de 2012. Resultados: los servicios de ingreso más frecuentes fueron Medicina Interna y Oncología (30,7 % y 29,3 %). Detección de los riesgos moderado y severo de desnutrición: CONUT, 42,2 y 12,1 %; VSG, 25,8 % y 10,1 %; VEN, 13,7 y 14,5 %. La desnutrición evaluada utilizando el método CONUT se relacionó significativamente con las complicaciones (p = 0,036), los reingresos (p = 0,041) y la mortalidad (p = 0,007). Las curvas ROC de la mortalidad, para todos los métodos evaluados, mostraron que CONUT es la mejor herramienta. Conclusiones: CONUT es una herramienta de detección automática que se puede utilizar como primer paso en el diagnóstico del riesgo de desnutrición. CONUT ofrece la ventaja de ser un factor pronóstico de complicaciones, reingreso y mortalidad.

A Dairy Product to Reconstitute Enriched with Bioactive Nutrients Stops Bone Loss in High-Risk Menopausal Women without Pharmacological Treatment.

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by the loss of bone mass and deterioration of the internal structure of the bone, increasing the risk of fractures, and is becoming an economic and social problem. The main treatment is pharmacological, however, the population demands other therapies, such as foods with nutrients beneficial to bone health. Seventy-eight healthy menopausal women at risk of osteoporosis or untreated osteopenia were recruited for a randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial with two intervention groups: one group consumed a serving a day of the experimental enriched product (experimental group (EG)) and the other group (control group (CG)) consumed the same product without enrichment. The main objective was to compare the effect of consuming a dairy preparation to reconstitute, similar to yogurt when prepared, enriched in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, L-leucine and probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum 3547) on bone metabolism markers for 24 weeks. The EG showed a significantly increased bone mass compared to the CG (0.01 ± 0.03 vs. -0.01 ± 0.03 kg; p < 0.05). In addition, the EG maintained their bone mineral density (BMD) compared to the CG, whose BMD significantly decreased at the end of the study. For biochemical markers, the EG significantly increased the serum levels of the N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP) bone formation marker (13.19 ± 25.17 vs. -4.21 ± 15.62 ng/mL; p < 0.05), and decreased the carbo-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx) bone resorption marker compared to the CG (-0.05 ± 0.19 vs. 0.04 ± 0.14 ng/mL; p < 0.05). On the other hand, the EG exhibited a significantly decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the start of the study. Finally, the EG significantly increased their dietary calcium and vitamin D intake compared to the CG. In conclusion, the regular consumption of a dairy product to reconstitute enriched with bioactive nutrients improves bone health markers in menopausal women at risk of osteoporosis without pharmacological treatment.

Comparison between different methods for measuring body fat after a weight loss program / Comparação entre diferentes métodos para mensuração da gordura corporal após um programa de perda de peso / Comparación entre diferentes métodos para medición de la grasa corporal después de un programa de pérdida de peso

ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate and sensitive measurement of body composition is an important tool in the diagnosis and control of obesity. Objective To compare body fat changes measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and skinfolds (SK) in healthy overweight adults in order to evaluate whether all three methods can be used during a weight loss program (WLP). Methods Eighty-four men (n=36) and women (n=48), body mass index 25-29.9 kg/m2, aged between 18-50 years, non-smokers and sedentary, were randomly assigned to strength, endurance, combined strength plus endurance, or physical activity recommendations groups. All subjects followed a hypocaloric diet (25-30% decrease in energy intake in terms of the total daily energy expenditure). The intervention lasted 22 weeks. Results The highest correlation was obtained between DXA and SK when men and women were studied together (r=0.864, p<0.01). In women, significant differences were found between DXA and BIA in fat percentage (underestimation of BIA 2.4%, p<0.05). The underestimation was more determinant for both fat percentage and fat mass in men, 13.2% versus 10.2%, and 6.8 kg versus 4.2 kg between BIA and SK respectively (p<0.05). All the procedures obtained similar results (p>0.05) when changes in body fat caused by intervention were analyzed. However, considering results of the minimal difference compared to DXA, BIA showed the greatest sensitivity to detect changes in fat percentage and fat mass, while SK underestimated the changes, with a significantly lower percentage considered real (p=0.01). Conclusion The SK method seems to underestimate real changes, therefore DXA and BIA can serve as more effective tools to measure the change in fat percentage and fat mass during WLP.

RESUMO Introdução A mensuração precisa e sensível da composição corporal é uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico e controle da obesidade. Objetivo Comparar as alterações da gordura corporal mensuradas através da absorciometria com raios-X de dupla energia (DEXA), análise da impedância bioelétrica (BIA) e dobras cutâneas (DC) em adultos saudáveis com sobrepeso, a fim de avaliar se os três métodos podem ser utilizados durante um programa de perda de peso (PPP). Métodos Oitenta e quatro homens (n=36) e mulheres (n=48) com índice de massa corporal entre 25-29,9 kg/m2, idade entre 18-50 anos, não-fumantes e sedentários foram divididos aleatoriamente em grupos de de força, resistência, combinados de força mais resistência ou com recomendações de atividade física. Todos os indivíduos seguiram uma dieta hipocalórica (25-30% de redução na ingestão energética em relação ao gasto energético total diário). A intervenção durou 22 semanas. Resultados A maior correlação foi obtida entre a DEXA e DC quando homens e mulheres foram estudados juntos (r=0,864, p<0,01). Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre a DEXA e BIA no percentual de gordura (subestimação da BIA em 2,4%, p<0,05) nas mulheres. A subestimação foi mais determinante tanto para o percentual de gordura quanto para a massa gorda nos homens, 13,2% versus 10,2%, e 6,8 kg versus 4,2 kg entre a BIA e DC, respectivamente (p<0,05). Todos os procedimentos obtiveram resultados similares (p>0,05) quando foram analisadas alterações na gordura corporal ocasionadas pela intervenção. No entanto, considerando os resultados da mínima diferença comparados à DEXA, a BIA apresentou maior sensibilidade para detectar mudanças no percentual de gordura e massa gorda, enquanto a DC subestimou as mudanças, com um percentual significativamente mais baixo considerado real (p=0,01). Conclusão O método de DC parece subestimar as mudanças reais, portanto, a DEXA e BIA podem ser ferramentas mais eficazes para mensurar a alteração no percentual de gordura e a massa gorda durante um PPP. Nível de evidência II, Diagnóstico.

RESUMEN Introducción La medición precisa y sensible de la composición corporal es una herramienta importante para el diagnóstico y control de la obesidad. Objetivo Comparar las alteraciones de la grasa corporal medidas a través de la absorciometría con rayos X de doble energía (DXA), análisis de la impedancia bioeléctrica (BIA) y los pliegues cutáneos (PC) en adultos saludables con sobrepeso, con el fin de evaluar si se pueden utilizar los tres métodos durante un programa de pérdida de peso (PPP). Métodos Ochenta y cuatro hombres y mujeres (varones n=36 y mujeres n=48), con índice de masa corporal entre 25-29,9kg/m2, edad entre 18-50 años, no fumadores y sedentarios fueron divididos aleatoriamente en grupos de fuerza, resistencia, combinados de fuerza más resistencia o con recomendaciones de actividad física. Todos los individuos siguieron una dieta hipocalórica (25-30% de reducción en la ingestión energética con relación al gasto energético total diario). La intervención duró 22 semanas. Resultados La mayor correlación fue obtenida entre DXA y PC cuando hombres y mujeres fueron estudiados conjuntamente (r=0,864, p<0,01). Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre DXA y BIA en el porcentual de grasa (subestimación de la BIA en 2,4%, p<0,05) en las mujeres. La subestimación fue más determinante, tanto para el porcentual de grasa como para la masa grasa en los hombres, 13,2% versus 10,2%, y 6,8 kg versus 4,2 kg entre BIA y PC, respectivamente (p<0,05). Todos los procedimientos obtuvieron resultados similares (p>0,05), cuando se analizaron alteraciones en la grasa corporal causadas por la intervención. Sin embargo, considerando los resultados de la mínima diferencia comparados a DXA, la BIA presentó mayor sensibilidad para detectar cambios en el porcentual de grasa y masa grasa, mientras que la PC subestimó los cambios, con un porcentual significativamente más bajo considerado real (p=0,01). Conclusión El método de PC parece subestimar los cambios reales, por lo tanto, la DXA y la BIA pueden ser herramientas más eficaces para medir la alteración en el porcentual de grasa y masa grasa durante un PPP.

Milk and Dairy Product Consumption and Bladder Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Some studies have reported that milk and dairy product consumption reduces bladder cancer incidence, whereas others have reported null or opposite findings. This meta-analysis of 26 cohort and case-control studies has been conducted to pool the risk of the association between milk and dairy products and bladder cancer. A systematic search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Web of Science (from inception to 30 April 2018) was conducted. Random-effects models were used to compute pooled estimates of RR for high or medium compared with low consumption of milk and dairy. Sensitivity analyses were conducted. Subgroup analyses were performed based on type of dairy, gender, geographic location, and type of study design. Random-effects meta-regression was used to evaluate other confounding factors. Overall, medium compared with low consumption was associated with lower pooled risk of bladder cancer for total dairy products (RR = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.98), milk (RR = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.98), and fermented dairy products (RR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.96). The inverse association for milk consumption was stronger in Asians (RR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.59, 0.98) and in cohort design studies (RR = 0.85; 95% CI: 0.71, 0.99). Moreover, high compared with low consumption was significantly associated with a lower pooled risk for milk (RR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.98) and fermented dairy products (RR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.94). However, high compared with low consumption of whole milk was significantly associated with a higher risk (RR = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.38). The statistical heterogeneity was considerable. In conclusion, the present meta-analysis suggests a decreased risk of bladder cancer associated with medium consumption of total dairy products and with medium and high consumption of milk and fermented dairy products. An increased risk of bladder cancer was observed with high consumption of whole milk. Interpretations of the results should be made with caution. This review was registered at www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero as CRD42018097020.

Milk and Dairy Product Consumption and Prostate Cancer Risk and Mortality: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses.

Milk and dairy product consumption has been associated with an increase in prostate cancer risk; however, discrepancies have been observed in the literature. This first overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses was carried out with the main objective of compiling and discussing the evidence generated to date related to milk and dairy product consumption and prostate cancer risk and mortality. A systematic search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Web of Science (from inception to 30 April 2018) was conducted. The inclusion criteria were as follows: adult men, meta-analyses of longitudinal studies, dairy product consumption, and risk of prostate cancer or related outcomes. The AMSTAR2 checklist was used to evaluate methodological quality. The synthesis methods included dairy product exposure (high compared with low consumption or dose-response), dairy product type (total dairy products, milk, cheese, yogurt, and others), and prostate cancer outcomes (total, nonadvanced, and advanced prostate cancer and mortality) displayed in forest plots. Six meta-analyses were identified. These studies reported on the analysis of the 2 to 32 cohorts (up to 848,395 subjects/38,107 cases; 4-28 y of follow-up) and 2 case-control meta-analyses (12,435 subjects). The meta-analysis quality was valued as mostly "good" according to the AMSTAR2 criteria. All RRs of high compared with low consumption (dose-response) for total prostate cancer ranged from 1.68 to 1.09 (1.07 per 400 g/d) for total dairy products, 1.50 to 0.92 (1.06 to 0.98 per 200 g/d) for milk (whole, low-fat, and skim milk considered separately), and 1.18 to 0.74 (1.10 per 50 g/d) for cheese. RRs have decreased since the first meta-analysis. Statistical heterogeneity generates uncertainty in the observed results (up to I2 = 77.1%). In conclusion, although there are some data indicating that higher consumption of dairy products could increase the risk of prostate cancer, the evidence is not consistent.

AIM: to communicate HPN data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2017. MATERIAL AND METHODS: descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2017. RESULTS: there were 308 patients from 45 Spanish hospitals (54.5% women), 38 children and 270 adults, with 3,012 episodes, which represent a prevalence rate of 6.61 patients/million inhabitants/year 2017. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative cancer" (25.6%), followed by "others". In children, it was Hirschsprung's disease with six cases (15.8%). The first indication was short bowel syndrome in both children (55.3%) and adults (33.7%). The most frequently used type of catheter was tunneled in both children (73.4%) and adults (38.2%). Ending 81 episodes, the most frequent cause was death (62.9%) and transition to oral feeding (34.7%). CONCLUSIONS: the progressive increase of collaborating centers and professionals in the registry of patients receiving NPD is maintained. The main indications of HPN and the motive for ending have remained stable.

[Bioactive food compounds as adjuvants to breast cancer treatment: vitamin D and omega-3]. / Compuestos bioactivos de alimentos como coadyuvantes a los tratamientos de cáncer de mama: vitamina D y omega-3.

INTRODUCTION: breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed tumor in women and it continues to be the leading cause of cancer death in women. Quality of life decreases significantly during treatment and in the survivors. There is growing evidence linking the intake of certain foods, or their bioactive compounds, with better prognosis of the disease or improvements in physiological parameters that can increase BC patients' quality of life. But there are hardly any reviews to clarify the scientific evidence. OBJECTIVES: gathering and summarizing the available evidence on the effectiveness of the dietary compounds use as coadjuvants for BC treatment. METHOD: literature search using Pubmed to identify and analyze bioactive compounds as coadjvants for BC treatment. RESULTS: all tested compounds showed antitumor effects in vitro. Vvitamin D decrease risk of bone fracture, and marine lipids may reduce bone resorption and inflammation. CONCLUSION: there are bioactive compounds with potential to improve the quality of life of women with BC. Vitamin D a marine lipids provide a solid quality scientific evidence. Despite this, more controlled clinical trials are required to establish a direct link between the use of these compounds and the tumor progression or patient survival.

INTRODUCCIÓN: el cáncer de mama (CM) es el tumor más diagnosticado en mujeres y la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en este grupo de población. La calidad de vida disminuye durante los tratamientos, así como a largo plazo en las supervivientes. Numerosos estudios relacionan la ingesta de algunos alimentos o sus compuestos bioactivos con un mejor pronóstico de la enfermedad o mejoras en la calidad de vida de pacientes con CM, pero apenas existen revisiones que permitan aclarar la evidencia científica. OBJETIVOS: agrupar y sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre la efectividad del empleo de compuestos bioactivos de alimentos como coadyuvantes del tratamiento del CM. MÉTODOS: revisión bibliográfica mediante sistema de búsqueda PubMed para la identificación y estudio de compuestos bioactivos con posible efecto coadyuvantes en el tratamiento de CM. RESULTADOS: todos los compuestos analizados mostraron efectos antitumorales in vitro. La vitamina D contribuye a reducir las fracturas óseas. Los lípidos marinos disminuyen la resorción ósea y la inflamación. CONCLUSIÓN: existen compuestos bioactivos con potencial terapéutico para mejorar la calidad de vida de mujeres con CM. La vitamina D y los lípidos marinos son los que presentan mayor evidencia. Sin embargo, se necesitan más ensayos clínicos controlados para confirmar una relación directa entre el empleo de estos compuestos y la evolución tumoral o la supervivencia en CM.

Nutritional Composition Assessment of 3000 Individualized Parenteral Nutrition Bags in a Tertiary Referral Hospital: Current Prescribing Patterns.

Individualized parenteral nutrition is the most specialized type of nutritional support in the hospital setting. The composition and prescribing patterns for parenteral nutrition have evolved due to new emerging scientific evidence. In the last few years, there has been a tendency to increase the nitrogen and lipid content and decrease the carbohydrate content. To assess the prescribing pattern in a tertiary referral hospital in Spain, the nutritional composition of individualized parenteral nutrition was evaluated retrospectively from January to December of 2016. A total of 3029 parenteral nutrition units were analysed, corresponding to 257 hospitalized adult patients. Medical specialists in General Surgery and Haematology were the most common petitioners. The three most frequently prescribed parenteral nutrition formulae contained 13.4 (28.8%), 15.7 (19.54%) and 17.9 (17.79%) g of nitrogen. The quantity of carbohydrates and lipids showed a mean non-protein calories-to-nitrogen ratio of approximately 78:1 and a carbohydrate-to-lipid ratio that was near 50:50 in most cases. These results suggest a trend towards the administration of parenteral nutrition with a high content of nitrogen and smaller proportion of the non-protein components.

Ibero⁻American Consensus on Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners: Safety, Nutritional Aspects and Benefits in Food and Beverages.

International scientific experts in food, nutrition, dietetics, endocrinology, physical activity, paediatrics, nursing, toxicology and public health met in Lisbon on 2⁻4 July 2017 to develop a Consensus on the use of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) as substitutes for sugars and other caloric sweeteners. LNCS are food additives that are broadly used as sugar substitutes to sweeten foods and beverages with the addition of fewer or no calories. They are also used in medicines, health-care products, such as toothpaste, and food supplements. The goal of this Consensus was to provide a useful, evidence-based, point of reference to assist in efforts to reduce free sugars consumption in line with current international public health recommendations. Participating experts in the Lisbon Consensus analysed and evaluated the evidence in relation to the role of LNCS in food safety, their regulation and the nutritional and dietary aspects of their use in foods and beverages. The conclusions of this Consensus were: (1) LNCS are some of the most extensively evaluated dietary constituents, and their safety has been reviewed and confirmed by regulatory bodies globally including the World Health Organisation, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority; (2) Consumer education, which is based on the most robust scientific evidence and regulatory processes, on the use of products containing LNCS should be strengthened in a comprehensive and objective way; (3) The use of LNCS in weight reduction programmes that involve replacing caloric sweeteners with LNCS in the context of structured diet plans may favour sustainable weight reduction. Furthermore, their use in diabetes management programmes may contribute to a better glycaemic control in patients, albeit with modest results. LNCS also provide dental health benefits when used in place of free sugars; (4) It is proposed that foods and beverages with LNCS could be included in dietary guidelines as alternative options to products sweetened with free sugars; (5) Continued education of health professionals is required, since they are a key source of information on issues related to food and health for both the general population and patients. With this in mind, the publication of position statements and consensus documents in the academic literature are extremely desirable.

New, Immunomodulatory, Oral Nutrition Formula for Use Prior to Surgery in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: An Exploratory Study.

BACKGROUND: The perioperative use of immunomodulatory nutrition formulas in patients with head and neck cancer reduces the number of postoperative infections and the length of hospital stay. OBJECTIVE: An exploratory, randomized, controlled, blind, clinical trial was designed to examine the effect of the preoperative consumption of a new, immunomodulatory, oral nutrition formula in patients with head and neck cancer. METHODS: Thirty-eight patients were randomized to receive either 400 mL/d of either the new immunomodulatory formula (IF) or that commonly used in clinical practice (CF) over 10 days prior to surgery. Thirty-three patients completed the study. Compliance, tolerance, the length of hospital stay, the incidence of infections and noninfectious complications before discharge, and the same up to 15 and 30 days after discharge were recorded. RESULTS: The percentage of patients who developed infections before discharge was significantly lower in the IF than in the CF group (P = .013), as was the number of infections/100 patients/d (P = .035). The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the IF group (P = .001). Both formulas were safe and well tolerated. No other differences were detected. These results suggest preoperative consumption of the new formula to be beneficial for patients with neck and head cancer. Further trials are needed to confirm these results and to test the efficacy of the formula in patients with other conditions. CONCLUSION: The new formula can be safely prescribed as part of the preoperative treatment of patients with head and neck cancer and might reduce the problem of postoperative infection.

OBJECTIVE: To communicate HPN data obtained from the HPN registry of the NADYA-SENPE group (www.nadya-senpe.com) for the year 2016. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive analysis of the data collected from adult and pediatric patients with HPN in the NADYA-SENPE group registry from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2016. RESULTS: There were 286 patients from 42 Spanish hospitals (54.2% women), 34 children and 252 adults, with 294 episodes, which represent a prevalence rate of 6.16 patients / million inhabitants / year 2016. The most frequent diagnosis in adults was "palliative cancer" (25.8%), followed by "others". In children it was "motility alterations" with 6 cases (17.6%), Hirschsprung's disease and necrotising enterocolitis, both with 5 children (14.7%). The first indication was short bowel syndrome in both children (64.7%) and adults (37.3%), followed by intestinal obstruction in 28.6% adults and 14.7% in children. The most frequently used type of catheter was tunnelled in both children (70.6%) and adults (37.9%). The most frequent complication in adults was infection related to the catheter, which presented a rate of 0.48 infections / 1,000 days of NPD. During this period, 71 episodes ended in adults and the main cause was death (57.7%) followed by resuming the oral route (31%). CONCLUSIONS: There is a progressive increase of centers and professional collaborators in the registry who report patients receiving parenteral nutrition at home. The main indications of HPN and the motive for ending have remained stable.

[HOME AND AMBULATORY ARTIFICIAL NUTRITION (NADYA) GROUP REPORT, HOME PARENTERAL NUTRITION IN SPAIN, 2014]. / NUTRICIÓN PARENTERAL DOMICILIARIA EN ESPAÑA DURANTE 2014; INFORME DEL GRUPO DE NUTRICIÓN ARTIFICIAL DOMICILIARIA Y AMBULATORIA NADYA.

AIM: to communicate the results of the Spanish Home Parenteral Nutrition (HEN) registry of the NADYASENPE group for the year 2014. MATERIAL AND METHODS: data was recorded online by NADYA group collaborators that were responsible of the HPN follow-up from 1st January to 31st December 2014. RESULTS: a total of 220 patients and 229 episodes of HPN were registered from 37 hospitals that represents a rate of 4.7 patients/million habitants/year 2014. The most frequent disease in adults was other diseases (23.3%), neoplasm (20.4%) followed by radical active neoplasm (11.8%) and mesenteric ischemia (10.9%). The most frequent diagnosis for children were the congenital intestinal disorders (33.3%) followed by traumatic short bowel and other diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: the number of participating centers and registered patients increased progressively respect to preceding years. We consider that the HPN should be regulated by the Sanitary Administration within the framework of the National Health Service Interregional Council. And its inclusion in the portfolio of health services of the different Autonomous Comunities would be beneficial for patients and professionals.

[Fiber-type indication among different pathologies]. / INDICACIONES DE DIFERENTES TIPOS DE FIBRA EN DISTINTAS PATOLOGÍAS.

INTRODUCTION: Fiber definition includes all those carbohydrates which are not digested nor absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract allowing them to reach the colon with no previous processing. Traditionally fiber has been classified according to their solubility into soluble and insoluble and different physiological properties have been defined for each type. The physiologic role of the fiber intake has been studied in diabetes, dyslipidemia or obesity. Fiber intake has also demonstrated to be beneficial in the prevention of many neoplastic diseases like colorectal cancer. It´s also known that fiber plays an important role in the faecal excretion of nitrogen. AIM: To evaluate the current evidence that fiber intake plays in the management and prevention of several different diseases, being able to determine, if possible, the most recommended fiber type for each clinical condition. METHODS: A non-systematic review by searching the Medline and Pubmed was made and studies which met the inclusion criteria were identified and selected for analysis. RESULTS: Different fiber types can be useful for the treatment of several gastrointestinal diseases like constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis remission or short bowel syndrome. Patients diagnosed with diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other cardiometabolic diseases can get a clinical improvement with soluble fiber intake. Dietary fiber has demonstrated to play a role in the prevention of colorrectal cancer and other neoplastic diseases. Patients with hepatic encephalopathy or chronic kidney disease will also benefit from fermentable fiber intake. DISCUSSION: Fiber plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of many clinical conditions. However further investigations are needed to establish specific fiber intake recommendations.

Introducción: la fibra engloba los carbohidratos no digeridos ni absorbidos en el tubo digestivo, llegando intactos al colon. Se clasifica en soluble e insoluble, con propiedades fisiológicas distintas. La fibra se ha empleado frecuentemente para tratar y prevenir diversas patologías gastrointestinales. También se ha estudiado su papel en la fisiopatología de enfermedades como la diabetes, la dislipemia, la hipertensión arterial y la obesidad. Además se ha relacionado su consumo con la prevención de ciertos tumores, en especial del cáncer colorrectal, así como con el aumento de la excreción de nitrógeno en heces. Objetivos: analizar la evidencia del papel que la fibra puede tener en el tratamiento y prevención de distintas enfermedades, así como el tipo de fibra más adecuado en cada una. Métodos: revisión no sistemática en Medline y Pubmed, y posterior aplicación de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Resultados: diferentes tipos de fibra pueden ser útiles en el tratamiento de enfermedades gastrointestinales, como el estreñimiento, la diarrea, el síndrome de intestino irritable, la colitis ulcerosa en remisión o el síndrome de intestino corto. Los pacientes con diabetes, obesidad, hiperlipidemia, hipertensión y enfermedad cardiovascular también pueden beneficiarse del consumo principalmente de fibra soluble. La fibra alimentaria ha demostrado prevenir el cáncer de colon y otros tumores. En pacientes con encefalopatía hepática o insuficiencia renal, la fibra fermentable ha demostrado beneficios. Conclusiones: la fibra tiene un papel importante en la prevención y tratamiento de múltiples enfermedades; sin embargo, son necesarios más estudios de calidad para poder realizar recomendaciones más específicas.
