ABSTRACT
Post-Covid-19 Syndrome (PCS) is a condition that causes persistent symptoms and impacts nutritional status such as loss of muscle mass. The objective of this study was to review and map scientific evidence on nutritional management in the loss of muscle mass in patients with PCS. The scoping review protocol was prepared following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Review articles not written in English or those that included only hospitalized patients and pertained to conditions other than PCS were excluded. Data extraction followed the methodology outlined by the Cochrane Review Group. Of the 81 articles initially identified, only five met the inclusion criteria. The selected studies emphasized the importance of recovering muscle mass, higher protein and caloric intake, and physical strength exercises. Consequently, nutritional interventions aimed at mitigating muscle mass loss should prioritize strategies that increase caloric and protein consumption.
A Síndrome Pós-covid-19 (SPC) é uma condição que acarreta sintomas persistentes e impactam o estado nutricional, como a perda de massa. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar revisão para mapear evidências científicas acerca do manejo nutricional na perda de massa muscular em pacientes com SPC. O protocolo da revisão de escopo foi elaborado de acordo com o PRISMA-ScR. Foram excluídos artigos de revisão que não estivessem em inglês ou português, que incluíssem apenas pacientes hospitalizados e com outras condições que não a SPC. Os dados foram extraídos com base no Cochrane Review Group. 81 artigos foram identificados e a amostra final incluiu cinco estudos. Para a recuperação da massa muscular, maior ingestão proteica, calórica e exercícios físicos de força foram descritos nos estudos. A intervenção nutricional para recuperar a perda de massa muscular deve considerar estratégias que visam o aumento do consumo calórico e proteico.

There is no safe and effective prevention for insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) mellitus, which makes it highly dependent on its treatment. This systematic review with meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials investigated the overall effects of dietary supplements of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and non-essential compounds with antioxidant properties, fatty acids, and amino acids in IDDM. Searches of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, LILACS, The Grey Literature Report, and ClinicaTrials.gov, and citations from previous reviews were used to identify reports published through July 2023. The Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool was used to analyze the risk of bias and GRADE was used to assess the quality of the results. Fifty-eight studies (n=3,044) were included in qualitative analyses and seventeen (n=723) in meta-analyses. Qualitative analyses showed few positive effects on some metabolic function markers, such as endothelial and renal function and lipid profile. Meta-analyses showed a positive effect of omega-3 on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (RMD=-0.33; 95%CI: -0.53, -0.12, P=0.002; I2=0%; GRADE: low quality; 4 studies) and of vitamin D on fasting C-peptide (FCP) (RMD=0.05; 95%CI: 0.01, 0.9, P=0.023; I2=0%; GRADE: very low quality; 4 studies). Most studies showed bias concern or high risk of bias. A recommendation for dietary supplementation in IDDM cannot be made because of the few positive results within different interventions and markers, the serious risk of bias in the included studies, and the low quality of evidence from meta-analyses. The positive result of vitamin D on FCP is preliminary, requiring further investigation.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To systematically review the literature in search of the most suitable and effective nutritional interventions and indications for the nutritional treatment of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Data source: This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The articles were selected from seven databases (Cochrane, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde — Lilacs, Embase, United States National Library of Medicine — PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online — SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science). Studies from a pediatric group (0 to 18 years old) diagnosed with CP were included and the search strategy included the descriptors: "children" OR "childhood" AND "nutritional therapy" OR "nutritional intervention" OR "nutrition" OR "nutritional support" OR "diet" AND "cerebral palsy" OR "cerebral injury". Methodological quality was assessed using the checklist for cross-sectional analytical studies, the Newcastle-Ottawa scale or the Cochrane Collaboration tool for clinical trials. Data synthesis: Fifteen studies (n=658) published from 1990 to 2020 met the inclusion criteria. All of them had a low risk of bias. The data showed that children and adolescents with CP have worse nutritional status than those normally developed. Those who received hypercaloric and hyperprotein nutritional supplementation benefited from its use. Studies indicate that enteral nutrition should be considered when nutritional needs are not met by the oral diet, especially in cases where oral motor functions are impaired. In addition, there was a direct relationship between the consistency of food, the level of motor function and nutritional status. Conclusions: Children and adolescents with CP have a greater risk of malnutrition. The use of nutritional supplementation may help with weight gain. In addition, enteral nutrition and modification of food texture have been used to improve the nutritional status of this group.
RESUMO Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a literatura em busca das intervenções e indicações nutricionais mais adequadas e eficazes para o tratamento nutricional de crianças e adolescentes com paralisia cerebral (PC). Fontes de dados: Esta revisão foi conduzida de acordo com as diretrizes Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses — PRISMA. Os artigos foram selecionados em sete bases de dados (Cochrane, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde — Lilacs, Embase, United States National Library of Medicine — PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online — SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science). Foram incluídos estudos de um grupo pediátrico (zero a 18 anos) com diagnóstico de PC e a estratégia de busca incluiu os descritores: "children" OR "childhood" AND "nutritional therapy" OR "nutritional intervention" OR "nutrition" OR "nutritional support" OR "diet" AND "cerebral palsy" OR "cerebral injury". A qualidade metodológica foi avaliada utilizando a lista de verificação para estudos transversais analíticos, escala Newcastle-Ottawa ou ferramenta da Cochrane Collaboration, para ensaios clínicos. Síntese dos dados: Quinze estudos (n=658) publicados de 1990 a 2020 preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Todos tiveram baixo risco de viés. Os dados mostraram que crianças e adolescentes com PC apresentam pior estado nutricional do que os normalmente desenvolvidos. Aqueles que receberam suplementação nutricional hipercalórica e hiperproteica beneficiaram-se de seu uso. Estudos demonstram que a nutrição enteral deve ser considerada quando as necessidades nutricionais não são supridas pela dieta oral, principalmente nos casos em que as funções oromotoras estão prejudicadas. Além disso, houve relação direta entre a consistência dos alimentos, o nível de função motora e o estado nutricional. Conclusões: Crianças e adolescentes com PC têm maior risco de desnutrição. O uso de suplementação nutricional pode auxiliar no ganho de peso desses pacientes. Além disso, a nutrição enteral e a modificação da textura dos alimentos têm sido artifícios utilizados para a melhora do estado nutricional neste grupo.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: Los adultos mayores son la población más propensa a presentar desórdenes gastrointestinales, específicamente y en mayor proporción el estreñimiento idiopático. La alimentación es un factor clave, pero poco estudiado a la hora de tratar el estreñimiento. Objetivo: Comprender las diferentes percepciones por parte de los profesionales de la salud, los cuidadores y el adulto mayor acerca del manejo del estreñimiento idiopático, desde un enfoque alimentario, teniendo en cuenta las preferencias y gustos en el adulto mayor institucionalizado de Medellín. Métodos: La técnica de generación de la información se realizó a través de grupos focales, efectuando seis grupos: uno conformado por los profesionales del área de la salud, tres por los adultos mayores y dos por los cuidadores. Resultados: Se identificó que una de las recomendaciones que más se repite es el incremento del aporte de fibra y líquidos. En general, los adultos mayores tienen poca adherencia a las estrategias nutricionales para el manejo del estreñimiento, ya que los alimentos que se les ofrecen no se adecuan a sus preferencias. Conclusiones: No existe una percepción unánime en el personal de salud y los cuidadores con respecto a la efectividad del tratamiento nutricional para el manejo del estreñimiento en el adulto mayor; sin embargo, se identificaron testimonios exitosos sobre el uso de algunas frutas, la inclusión de fibra en la dieta y el aumento en el consumo de líquidos(AU)
Introduction: Older adults are the population most likely to present with gastrointestinal disorders specifically and idiopathic constipation to a greater extent. Diet is a key factor, but it has been little studied when it comes to treating constipation. Objective: To understand the different perceptions by health professionals, caregivers and older adults about the management of idiopathic constipation, from a dietary approach, taking into account the preferences and tastes of institutionalized older adults in Medellín. Methods: The information generation technique was carried out through focus groups, establishing six groups: one made up of health professionals, three for older adults and two for caregivers. Results: It was identified that one of the most repeated recommendations is to increase the intake of fiber and fluids. In general, older adults have poor adherence to nutritional strategies for managing constipation, since food offered to them do not suit their preferences. Conclusions: There is no unanimous perception among health personnel and caregivers regarding the effectiveness of nutritional treatment for the management of constipation in older adults; however, successful testimonies were identified regarding the use of some fruits, the inclusion of fiber in the diet and the increase in fluid consumption(AU)

Resumen Introducción: el tratamiento de reemplazo renal debe acompañarse de una terapia nutricional adecuada. El cumplimiento de la misma mejora la calidad de vida y supervivencia de los pacientes y la educación alimentaria influye positivamente en su adherencia. Objetivo: describir el conocimiento y cumplimiento de las pautas dietoterápicas en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en tratamiento de hemodiálisis en un hospital general de agudos, antes y después de una intervención educativa nutricional. Materiales y método: estudio pre-experimental, longitudinal, prospectivo durante los meses de mayo a agosto de 2022 en un hospital de agudos de la ciudad de La Plata, Buenos Aires. Se realizaron talleres de educación alimentaria y nutricional donde se abordaron temáticas en relación al consumo de sodio, potasio, fósforo y líquidos. Al inicio y al finalizar el ciclo de talleres se realizó una encuesta para conocer datos sobre la terapia nutricional realizada y conocimiento sobre el tratamiento nutricional recomendado. Fueron relevados datos bioquímicos y el peso corporal pre y post diálisis. Los datos obtenidos fueron volcados a una hoja de cálculo para su posterior procesamiento y análisis, mediante el software IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Resultados: se estudiaron un total de 27 pacientes. El grado de conocimiento previo a la realización de la intervención educativa presentó una mediana de 64,4 puntos (RIQ 50-78,5), correspondiente a un grado de conocimiento medio. Luego de la realización de la intervención educativa, el grado de conocimiento presentó una mediana de 85,7 puntos (RIQ 50-92,8), correspondiente a un grado de conocimiento óptimo; observándose un aumento estadísticamente significativo luego de la realización de los talleres (p=0,007). En cuanto al grado de cumplimiento previo a la intervención, se obtuvo una mediana de 71,4 puntos (RIQ 64,3-78,5), grado de cumplimiento óptimo. Posterior a la intervención educativa, el grado de cumplimiento se mantuvo con una mediana de 71,4 puntos (RIQ 57,1-85,7), no siendo un cambio estadísticamente significativo (p=0,726). Con respecto a los parámetros séricos relevados, se observó una reducción significativa de los parámetros séricos de potasio luego de la realización de los talleres (p=0,033), no así en el caso del fósforo (p=0,454). En relación a la ganancia de peso interdiálisis previa a la intervención, presentó una mediana de 3,7% (RIQ 2,9-4,6). Luego de la intervención, presentó una mediana de 3,8% (RIQ 2,6-4,9), no siendo un cambio estadísticamente significativo (p=0,179). Conclusión: la intervención educativa utilizada mejoró significativamente el grado de conocimiento de la terapia nutricional y los parámetros bioquímicos de potasio de los pacientes. No se observaron cambios significativos en el resto de los parámetros medidos; ni en la ganancia de peso interdialítica.
Abstract Introduction: renal replacement treatment must be accompanied by adequate nutritional therapy. Compliance with it improves the quality of life and survival of patients and food education positively influences their adherence. Objective: to describe the knowledge and compliance with dietary guidelines in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment in an acute general hospital, before and after a nutritional educational intervention. Materials and method: pre-experimental, longitudinal, prospective study during the months of May to August 2022 in an acute care hospital in the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires. Food and nutritional education workshops were held where topics related to the consumption of sodium, potassium, phosphorus and liquids were addressed. At the beginning and at the end of the workshop cycle, a survey was carried out to obtain data on the nutritional therapy carried out and knowledge about the recommended nutritional treatment. Biochemical data and body weight pre and post dialysis were collected. The data obtained were transferred to a spreadsheet for subsequent processing and analysis, using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software. Results: a total of 27 patients were studied. The degree of knowledge prior to carrying out the educational intervention presented a median of 64.4 points (IQR 50-78.5), corresponding to a medium degree of knowledge. After carrying out the educational intervention, the degree of knowledge presented a median of 85.7 points (IQR 50-92.8), corresponding to an optimal degree of knowledge; observing a statistically significant increase after carrying out the workshops (p=0.007). Regarding the degree of compliance prior to the intervention, a median of 71.4 points (IQR 64.3-78.5) was obtained, an optimal degree of compliance. After the educational intervention, the degree of compliance remained with a median of 71.4 points (IQR 57.1-85.7), not being a statistically significant change (p=0.726). Regarding the serum parameters surveyed, a significant reduction in serum potassium parameters was observed after the workshops (p=0.033), but not in the case of phosphorus (p=0.454). In relation to interdialysis weight gain prior to the intervention, it presented a median of 3.7% (IQR 2.9-4.6). After the intervention, it presented a median of 3.8% (IQR 2.6-4.9), not being a statistically significant change (p=0.179). Conclusion: the educational intervention used significantly improved the level of knowledge of nutritional therapy and the biochemical potassium parameters of the patients. No significant changes were observed in the rest of the measured parameters; nor in interdialytic weight gain.
ABSTRACT
Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) is a clinical syndrome in which there is a causal relationship between metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular damage. The incidence and mortality rates of CMD remain high despite the use of potent pharmacologic interventions and clinical therapeutic approaches. There is an urgent need for effective evidence-based comprehensive management measures to improve patients' lifespan and quality of life. From the concept of "nourishing through food" proposed in the Huangdi's Internal Classic (Huang Di Nei Jing) to the widespread application of modern dietary patterns such as dietary restriction, plant-based diets, and Jiangnan cuisine, dietary regulation plays a significant role in preventing diseases, early treatment of existing diseases, and recovery. This article systematically reviewed the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory related to dietary patterns, elucidated the cutting-edge evidence and mechanisms of modern dietary patterns like dietary restriction in preventing and treating CMD, and explored the strategy of integrating TCM theory with dietary patterns, aiming to establish a new food-nutrition-medicine approach that combines traditional Chinese and western medicine and provide novel insights and directions for the clinical management of CMD.
ABSTRACT
Surgery is the main approach for treating surgical diseases, but it can bring traumatic stress to the body, causing metabolic changes and nutritional deficiencies. In addition to the primary surgical disease, the underlying health condition can also have an impact, and thus, at different stages, including preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge, surgical patients often experience varying degrees of metabolic changes and malnutrition. These metabolic changes and nutritional deficiencies at any stage can mutually influence each other, ultimately reducing the therapeutic effect of surgical treatment and affecting both short-term and long-term clinical outcomes. The concept and techniques of nutritional therapy have undergone rapid deve-lopment in recent decades, greatly improving the success rate of disease treatment. It is recommen-ded to promote the application of whole-course nutritional management in surgery, which integrates nutritional screening, assessment, and intervention throughout the entire process of preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge care during the disease treatment and recovery process. This approach can maximize the therapeutic benefits of nutritional therapy, accelerate postoperative recovery, and improve patient′s prognosis. Based on clinical practices and literatures, the author explores the importance and necessity, primary tasks, key measures, and final guarantees of whole-course nutritional management.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influence of nutritional therapy on short-term efficacy of gastric cancer patients with malnutrition after radical gastrectomy.Methods:The prospec-tive randomized control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of patients with malnutri-tion after radical resection of gastric cancer who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from December 2020 to December 2022 were selected. Based on random number table, all patients were allocated into the nutritional therapy group and the control group. Patients in the nutritional therapy group were given dietary guidance and daily oral nutrition supplements for 90 days after discharge, while patients in the control group were only given the same dietary guidance. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) follow-up; (3) comparison of nutritional indicators at 90 days after discharge; (4) comparison of inflammation and physical function indicators at 90 days after discharge; (5) comparison of clinical outcome indicators at 90 days after discharge. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean± SD, and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M(IQR), and non-parameter rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 187 patients were selected for eligibility. There were 131 males and 56 females, aged (65±12)years. Of the 187 patients, there were 95 patients in the nutritional therapy group and 92 patients in the control group, respectively. The gender (male, female), age, cases with cardiovascular complications, cases with respiratory complications, cases with diabetes, surgical methods (partial gastrectomy, total gastrectomy), tumor staging (Ⅰ stage, Ⅱ stage, Ⅲ stage), body mass, body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle index, albumin (Alb), hemoglobin (Hb), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), 6-minutes walking distance, grip strength were 68, 27, (64±12)years, 21, 4, 7, 59, 36, 17, 27, 51, (59±11)kg, (21.5±3.1)kg/m 2, (42±7)cm 2/m 2, (39±5)g/L, (112±25)g/L, 2.3(8.0), (456±97)m, (29±8)kg in patients of the nutritional therapy group, versus 63, 29, (66±13)years, 22, 3, 9, 56, 36, 14, 24, 54, (58±11)kg, (21.1±2.9)kg/m 2, (42±7)cm 2/m 2, (39±4)g/L, (111±26)g/L, 2.2(8.4), (459±98)m, (29±8)kg in patients of the control group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=0.21, t=-1.29, χ2=0.09, 0, 0.35, 0.03, 0.51, t=0.80, 0.85, 0.19, 0.14, 0.16, Z=-0.28, t=-0.17, 0.43, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up. All 187 patients were followed up for 90 days after surgery. During the follow-up period, all patients had good compliance and were able to follow the dietary guidance. Five patients in the nutrition therapy group experienced diarrhea and nausea adverse reactions, which were relieved after symptomatic treatment. No adverse reactions were found in the control group. (3) Comparison of nutritional indicators at 90 days after discharge. The body mass, body mass loss, BMI, skeletal muscle index, Alb, Hb were (58±10)kg, 2(6)kg, (21.0±2.9)kg/m 2, (41±7)cm 2/m 2, (41±4)g/L, (125±18)g/L in patients of the nutritional therapy group, versus (56±10)kg, 3(6)kg, (20.4±2.7)kg/m 2, (39±7)cm 2/m 2, (41±4)g/L, (121±21)g/L in patients of the control group. There were significant differences in body mass loss and skeletal muscle index between the two groups ( Z=-4.70, t=2.39, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in body mass, BMI, Alb, and Hb ( t=1.30, 1.51, 0.80, 1.32, P>0.05). (4) Comparison of inflammation and body function indicators at 90 days after discharge. The NLR, 6-minutes walking distance, grip strength were 2.1(5.1), (478±99)m, and (33±9)kg in patients of the nutritional therapy group, versus 2.2(5.7), (465±96)m, (30±8)kg in patients of the control group. There was a significant difference in grip strength between the two groups ( t=2.08, P<0.05), and there were no significant difference in NLR and 6-minutes walking distance ( Z=-1.28, t=0.91, P>0.05). (5) Comparison of clinical outcome indicators at 90 days after discharge. The quality of life score and readmission rate were (79±14)points, 4.2%(4/95) in patients of the nutritional therapy group, versus (78±16)points, 6.5%(6/92) in patients of the control group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=0.58, χ2=0.14, P>0.05). Conclusion:Nutritional therapy with daily oral nutrition supplements can improve the short-term nutritional status and body function of patients with malnutrition after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Introdução: A hiperglicemia pode estar presente em até 38% dos pacientes hospitalizados.O controle glicêmico está associado a melhores desfechos clínicos. Objetivo: avaliar o comportamento da variabilidade glicêmica em pacientes hospitalizados com Diabetes Mellitus 2. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, composto por pacientes hospi-talizados com e sem diabetes, adultos e idosos, de ambos os gêneros, em terapia nutricional enteral. As glicemias foram medidas por testes de glicemia capilar e classificadas como normoglicemia, hiperglicemia e variabilidade glicêmica, avaliados a partir do desvio-padrão glicêmico e coeficiente de variação glicêmico. Foram avaliados dados bioquímicos como Proteína C-reativa. A análise de variância de duas vias (ANOVA) foi utilizada para comparar os grupos, além da correlação de Spearman. Resultados: Participaram 85 indivíduos, com diabetes mellitus 2 (20%; n= 17), e sem diabetes mellitus (80%; n = 68), sendo 34% (n = 29) adultos e 66% (n=56) idosos. Adultos e idosos com diabetes mellitus apresentaram hiperglicemia em relação aos pacientes não diabéticos (p<0,01), valores supe-riores de desvio-padrão glicêmico (p<0,01) e coeficiente de variação glicêmica em relação aos pacientes sem dia-betes (p= 0,03), no entanto, não foram classificados com variabilidade glicêmica. Os valores da Proteína C-reativa foram correlacionados com o desvio-padrão glicêmico (R= 0,29; p= 0,0065), no entanto, a quantidade de carboi-dratos infundida na dieta enteral não se correlacionou estatisticamente com as glicemias nem com a variabilidade glicêmica dos pacientes (p>0,05). Conclusão: pacientes hospitalizados com ou sem diabetes mellitus 2 não apre-sentaram variabilidade glicêmica, demonstrando um controle glicêmico na hospitalização. (AU)
Introduction: Hyperglycemia may be present in up to 38% of hospitalized patients. Glycemic control is associated with better clinical outcomes. Objective: assess the behavior of glycemic variability in hospitalized patients with Diabetes Mellitus 2. Methodology: Cross-sectional study composed of hospitalized patients with and without diabetes, adults and elderly, of both genders, undergoing enteral nutritional therapy. Blood glucose was measured by capillary blood glucose tests and classified as normoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glycemic variability, assessed from the glycemic standard deviation and glycemic variation coefficient. Biochemical data such as C-reactive protein were assessed. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the groups, in addition to Spearman's correlation. Results: Eighty-five individuals with diabetes mellitus 2 (20%; n=17) and without diabetes mellitus (80%; n=68) participated in the study; 34% (n=29) were adults, and 66% (n=56) were elderly. Adults and elderly people with diabetes mellitus presented hyperglycemia concerning non-diabetic patients (p<0.01), higher values of glycemic standard deviation (p<0.01), and glycemic variation coefficient concerning patients without diabetes (p= 0.03); however, they were not classified with glycemic variability. The C-reactive protein values were correlated with the glycemic standard deviation (R= 0.29; p= 0.0065); however, the amount of carbohydrates infused in the enteral diet was not statistically correlated with glycemia or with the glycemic variability of patients (p>0.05). Conclusion: hospitalized patients with or without diabetes mellitus 2 did not show glycemic variability, demonstrating glycemic control during hospitalization. (AU)
Introducción: La hiperglucemia puede estar presente hasta en un 38% de los pacientes hospitalizados. El con-trol glucémico se asocia con mejores resultados clínicos. Objetivo: evaluar el comportamiento de la variación glucémica en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus 2. Metodología: Estudio transversal, compuesto por pacientes hos-pitalizados con y sin diabetes, adultos y ancianos, con terapia nutricional enteral. Las glucemias fueron medidas por exámenes de glucemia capilar y clasificadas como normo glucemia, hiperglucemia y variación glucémica, evaluados a partir de la desviación estándar y coeficiente de variación glucémico. Fueron evaluados datos bioquí-micos como Proteína C-reactiva. El análisis de la variación de las dos vías (ANOVA) fue utilizada para comparar los grupos, junto a la correlación de Spearman. Resultados: Participaron 85 individuos, con diabetes mellitus 2 (20%; n+17), y sin diabetes mellitus (80%; n = 68). Adultos 34% (n=29) y ancianos 66% (n=56). Pacientes con diabetes mellitus presentaron hiperglucemia en relación a los pacientes nodiabéticos (p< 0,01), valores superiores de desviación estándar glucémico (p< 0,01) y coeficiente de variación glucémica en relación a los pacientes sin dia-betes (p= 0,03), sin embargo, no fueron clasificados con variación glucémica. Los valores de la Proteína C-reactiva fueron correlacionados con la desviación estándar glucémica (R = 0,29; P= 0,0065), la cantidad de carbohidratos administrada, no se correlacionó estadísticamente con las glucemias ni con la variación glucémica de los pacientes (p>0,05). Conclusión: pacientes hospitalizados con o sin diabetes mellitus 2 no presentaron variación glucémica, demostrando control glucémico en la hospitalización. (AU)

Resumen Se afirma que la anorexia nerviosa es sinónimo de una comunidad microbiana intestinal desregula da. Al parecer, existen diferencias notables en la composición de la microbiota de las personas con anorexia nerviosa en comparación con personas sanas. Por otro lado, se advierte que los probióticos modifican la microbiota y mejoran el bienestar mental y síntomas intestinales, pero actualmente no se han documentado los resultados de aquellos estudios que evidencien la eficacia de los probióticos en la terapia psiconutricional de la anorexia nerviosa. Por lo anterior, se realizó una revisión siste mática con el objetivo de identificar estudios que suministraron probióticos a personas con anorexia nerviosa y analizar sus efectos en el tratamiento. El método incluyó los procedimientos de la Medi cina Basada en Evidencia y la declaración PRISMA (lista de verificación con dominios que incluye el documento de elaboración y diagrama de flujo) a través del formato PICO. Se encontraron siete estu dios que demuestran efectos positivos en la recuperación del peso corporal, salud mental e intestinal y respuesta antiinflamatoria. La escasa información al respecto representa un área de oportunidad para establecer protocolos de investigación que indaguen más acerca de los efectos de los probióticos en la recuperación de personas con anorexia nerviosa.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa is claimed to be synonymous with a dysregulated gut microbial community. The re appear to be notable differences in the composition of the microbiota of people with anorexia nervosa compared to healthy people. On the other hand, it is noted that probiotics modify the mi crobiota and improve mental well-being and intestinal symptoms, but currently the results of those studies that show the efficacy of probiotics in the psycho-nutritional therapy of anorexia nervosa have not been documented. A systematic review was carried out with the aim of identifying studies that provided probiotics to people with anorexia nervosa and analyzing their effects on treatment. The method included the procedures of Evidence-Based Medicine and the PRISMA statement (chec klist with domains that includes the elaboration document and flowchart) through the PICO format. Seven studies were found that demonstrate positive effects on body weight regain, mental and gut health, and anti-inflammatory response. The scarce information in this regard represents an area of opportunity to establish research protocols that investigate more about the effects of probiotics on the recovery of people with anorexia nervosa.
ABSTRACT
Abstract There is consistent clinical evidence, but not yet conclusive, that the consumption of foods or supplements based on probiotics modifies the microbiota and the microenvironment, with beneficial effects that are manifested in the clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical components of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the adult population. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the effects of probiotic supplementation on the prevention and treatment of MS and its components in the adult population. A systematic review was carried out in the databases: Pubmed-Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Cochrane, SIGN, NICE and Scielo, with articles in Spanish and English from 2010 to 2020, with controlled intervention designs where have compared probiotic supplementation (regardless of dose, strains, route of administration, or duration of use). Sixteen articles were selected (10 randomized clinical trials (RCTs), which included 610 participants). The meta-analysis carried out indicated that no statistically significant differences were found on insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), obesity (body mass index -BMI-), atherogenic dyslipidemia or on blood pressure. These findings conclude the lack of evidence found to recommend the consumption of probiotics as a strategy to reduce the prevalence of MS. The methodological limitations found among the reviewed studies imply the need for future lines of research on its relevance as a potential nutritional therapy and for the moment it is recommended to integrate variables such as nutritional treatment or diet control.
Resumen Existe evidencia clínica consistente, pero no concluyentes aún, que el consumo de alimentos o suplementos a base de probióticos modifica la microbiota y el microambiente, con efectos benéficos que se manifiestan en los componentes clínicos, antropométricos y bioquímicos del síndrome metabólico (MS) en población adulta. El objetivo de la presente revisión sistemática fue analizar los efectos de la suplementación con probióticos sobre la prevención y tratamiento del MS y sus componentes en población adulta. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en las bases de datos: Pubmed-Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Cochrane, SIGN, NICE y Scielo, con artículos en idioma español e inglés de 2010 a 2020, con diseños de intervención controlados donde se haya comparado la suplementación con probióticos (independientemente de la dosis, las cepas, la vía de administración o la duración del consumo). Fueron seleccionados 16 artículos (10 ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (ECA), que incluyeron 610 participantes). El metaanálisis ejecutado indicó que no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas sobre la resistencia a la insulina (HOMA-IR), la obesidad (índice de masa corporal -IMC-), la dislipidemia aterogénica o sobre la presión arterial. Estos hallazgos concluyen la falta de evidencia encontrada para recomendar el consumo de probióticos como una estrategia en la disminución de la prevalencia del MS. Las limitantes metodológicas encontradas entre los estudios revisados implican la necesidad de futuras líneas de investigación sobre su relevancia como una potencial terapia nutricional y por el momento se recomienda integrar variables como el tratamiento nutricio o el control de la dieta.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the medical nutritional therapy (MNT) of adult non-critically ill hospitalization patients. METHODS: In a retrospective study, adults hospitalized for more than 48 h in non-intensive care unit medical and surgical areas that were classified as being at nutritional risk were included. Malnutrition was defined according to Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. RESULTS: A total of 255 patients, aged 54.13±18.4 years, who were at risk of malnutrition were included in this study. Of these, 50% were males. Notably, 52.5% received oral nutrition supplementation (ONS), 23.5% enteral nutrition (EN), 15% parenteral nutrition (PN), and 9% received enteral and parenteral nutrition (EPN). Patients with EPN presented the highest frequency of malnutrition (52%), and therefore they received more than 100% of energy and protein requirements. The median length of stay was 25 days. Among patients with nutritional risk receiving EPN, no deaths occurred. Patients, identified at nutritional risk, but without malnutrition according to GLIM, and receiving ONS had significantly lower mortality than patients receiving other MNT. CONCLUSIONS: Oral nutrition supplementation was the more frequent MNT prescribed. The frequency of malnutrition and percentage of prescribed energy and protein were higher in patients receiving PN and EPN compared with those receiving ONS.
ABSTRACT
Sarcopenia is one of the most common complications of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and is an independent risk factor for mortality in ESLD patients. Increasing evidence has indicated that nutritional intervention plays an important role in improving the prognosis of ESLD complicated with sarcopenia. Timely identification and early treatment of sarcopenia in ESLD are indispensable for improving patient outcome and quality of life. Accumulating in-depth researches on the pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of sarcopenia in ESLD patients have provided increasing evidence for the nutritional treatment of sarcopenia in ESLD. Here we reviewed and summarized the research progress regarding the early identification, nutritional risk screening, assessment, and intervention of sarcopenia in ESLD.
ABSTRACT
Investigar o uso de drogas vasoativas e a sua relação com a intolerância dietoterápica em pacientes críticos. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal retrospectivo realizado em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs) de um hospital público de Goiânia, no período de setembro de 2020 a junho de 2021. Realizou-se o levantamento de dados em prontuários eletrônicos do início da terapia nutricional enteral (TNE) correlato ao uso de droga vasoativa (DVA) até o 3° dia de internação. Resultados: A análise incluiu 40 pacientes, observou-se a prevalência do sexo masculino (72,50%) e a média de idade observada foi de 53,67 ± 19,86 anos. Nesse estudo o uso de uma DVA (77,50%) foi mais prevalente do que o uso de duas ou mais DVAs. Verificou-se uma relação significativa entre desfecho clínico e uso de DVA, de modo que, o óbito foi mais frequente naqueles que usavam duas ou mais DVAs (p=0,016). Também foi observada a associação entre a hipoglicemia e o uso de DVA. Essa intercorrência foi frequente naqueles com uso de duas ou mais DVAs (p=0,030). O uso de DVA não se associou a intolerância dietoterápica, porém observamos que a obstipação foi a intercorrência mais prevalente (42,50%). Conclusão: O uso de DVA não se associou a intolerância dietoterápica nessa amostra. Porém observamos uma relação significativa entre o uso de DVA e o óbito. Ainda, verificou-se que a hipoglicemia também se relacionou ao uso de DVA
To investigate the use of vasoactive drugs and its relationship with dietary intolerance in critically ill patients. Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study carried out in intensive care units (ICUs) of a public hospital in Goiânia, from September 2020 to June 2021. Data were collected from electronic medical records from the beginning of the enteral nutritional therapy (ENT) correlated with the use of vasoactive drugs (VAD) until the 3rd day of hospitalization. Results: The analysis included 40 patients, there was a prevalence of males (72.50%) and the mean age observed was 53.67 ± 19.86 years. In this study, the use of one VAD (77.50%) was more prevalent than the use of two or more VADs. There was a significant relationship between clinical outcome and use of VAD, so that death was more frequent in those who used two or more VADs (p=0.016). An association between hypoglycemia and the use of VAD was also observed. This complication was more frequent in those using two or more VADs (p=0.030). The use of VAD was not associated with gastrointestinal intolerance (GI), but we observed that constipation was the most prevalent complication (42.50%). Conclusion: The use of VAD was not associated with GA in this sample. However, we observed a significant relationship between the use of VAD and death. Furthermore, it was found that hypoglycemia was also related to the use of VAD

Abstract In view of the current panorama of hospital nutritional care, it is necessary to review nutritional care practices in hospital units, in order to ensure nutritional monitoring and quality of care. Therefore, it is necessary to build flows of nutritional assistance practices at the pediatric hospital level, based on the recommendations of the Federal Council of Nutritionists and the Brazilian Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, aiming at not generating a deficit in the nutritional monitoring of the patient and in reducing the risk of contamination of the professional. When individual protection equipment is available, nutritional admission will be made in person and during hospitalization, monitoring can be performed using secondary data from electronic medical records and / or telecommunication with the multidisciplinary team. The implementation of nutritional routines in hospitals in times of Covid-19 pandemic generates more assertive conducts for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition and other nutritional implications, also guaranteeing the safety of professionals in assistance in pediatric units..
Resumo Diante do panorama atual da assistência nutricional hospitalar, torna-se necessário a revisão das práticas de assistência nutricional em unidades hospitalares, visando garantir monitoramento nutricional e qualidade assistencial. Portanto, faz-se necessário a construção de fluxos de práticas da assistência nutricional em nível hospitalar pediátrico, baseados nas recomendações do Conselho Federal de Nutricionistas e da Sociedade Brasileira de Nutrição Parenteral e Enteral, visando não gerar déficit no monitoramento nutricional ao paciente e em reduzir o risco de contaminação do profissional. Quando há a disponibilidade de equipamento de proteção individual a admissão nutricional será feita presencialmente e durante o internamento poderá ser realizado monitoramento por meio de dados secundários provenientes do prontuário eletrônico e/ou telecomunicação com a equipe multidisciplinar. A implantação de rotinas nutricionais em âmbito hospitalar em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19 gera condutas mais assertivas para a prevenção e tratamento da desnutrição e de outras implicações nutricionais, garantindo também a segurança do profissional na assistência em unidades pediátricas.

The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) online released the latest practical guideline on clinical nutrition in cancer on 15th March, 2021. The new practical guideline is shortened from the ESPEN guideline on nutrition in cancer patients in 2017 for easier use in clinical practice and provides 43 recommendations (without changes compared with the previous guidelines), combined with the diagnosis and treatment flow diagram, on general principles of nutritional therapy for cancer patients and individualized nutritional therapy strategies. Therefore, this new practical guideline is a practical tool for all professionals including physicians, dieticians, nutritionists and nurses in clinical practices.
ABSTRACT
Introdução: A presença de hipofosfatemia é fortemente relacionada à ocorrência de síndrome de realimentação em pacientes críticos, na qual um dos principais grupos de risco é a população idosa. Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência de hipofosfatemia e o risco de síndrome de realimentação em idosos internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Estudo observacional prospectivo, realizado numa unidade de terapia intensiva com pacientes idosos de ambos os sexos e em uso de terapia nutricional enteral. Foram coletados dados demográficos, clínicos e exames bioquímicos, e realizadas triagem e avaliação nutricional. As necessidades nutricionais foram calculadas e adotou-se o ponto de corte de 90% para estabelecer a adequação da oferta calórica. Para avaliar o risco e a ocorrência de síndrome de realimentação, foram utilizados os critérios propostos pelo grupo NICE. A análise estatística foi realizada com o auxílio do programa SPSS 13.0, com um intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95%. Resultados: Foram estudados 44 pacientes, dos quais 34,1% estavam em magreza; 86,4% dos pacientes iniciaram a terapia nutricional enteral em até 48 horas, com 43,2% de adequação calórica em até 72 horas. A hipofosfatemia foi encontrada em 9,1% dos pacientes na admissão e em 29,5% após o início da dieta. Com isso, 88,6% dos pacientes apresentaram algum risco para desenvolver síndrome de realimentação e 40,9% deles manifestaram a síndrome. Conclusão: Foi identificada elevada prevalência de hipofosfatemia após o início da terapia nutricional. Além disso, o risco de desenvolver síndrome de realimentação foi elevado e sua manifestação se assemelha aos dados encontrados na literatura. (AU)
Introduction: The presence of hypophosphatemia is strongly related to the occurrence of refeeding syndrome in critically ill patients, in which one of the main risk groups is the elderly population. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of hypophosphatemia and the risk of refeeding syndrome in elderly patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Methods: Prospective observational study carried out in an intensive care unit with elderly patients of both genders using enteral nutritional therapy. Demographic, clinical and biochemical data were collected, and nutritional screening and assessment were performed. The energy and nutrient requirements were calculated and a cutoff point of 90% was adopted to establish the adequacy of the caloric supply. To assess the risk and occurrence of refeeding syndrome, the criteria proposed by the NICE group were used. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 13.0 program, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 44 patients were studied, of which 34.1% were malnourished; 86.4% of patients started enteral nutritional therapy within 48 hours, with 43.2% of caloric adequacy within 72 hours. Hypophosphatemia was found in 9.1% of patients on admission and in 29.5% after starting the diet. Thus, 88.6% of patients had some risk of developing the refeeding syndrome and 40.9% of them manifested the syndrome. Conclusion: A high prevalence of hypophosphatemia was identified after starting nutritional therapy. In addition, the risk of developing refeeding syndrome was high and its manifestation is similar to data found in the literature. (AU)
