RESUMEN
Malnutrition and issues of nutrition are common in hospitalized patients. Identifying patients at nutritional risk can help to improve hospital-related outcomes. Specialized nutritional support in the form of oral nutritional supplementation, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition is essential to meeting the nutritional needs of many patients. Disease-specific nutritional considerations are fundamental to the quality care of hospitalized patients. Many vitamin, macronutrient, and micronutrient deficiencies are relevant in hospital setting.

Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are clinical manifestations of venous thromboembolism, and they necessitate anticoagulant therapy in most cases. The duration of treatment is predicated on a balance between the risk of recurrent disease and the risk of bleeding inherent to anticoagulant therapy. It is important that physicians are aware of evidence-based guidelines that can enhance decision-making discussions with patients about the risks and benefits of the different durations of treatment. Keeping patients well informed as they consider these difficult choices helps them assume responsibility and may improve compliance in accordance with the tenets of osteopathic principles of care.
