Updated Concepts in Perioperative Nutrition
Get PDFDespite the awareness of the prevalence of malnutrition in patients scheduled for major GI surgery, and its association with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as increased cost of care, perioperative nutrition is still underutilized as a strategy to improve surgical outcomes.
Following the deliberately inflicted trauma of major surgery, a neuroendocrine response stimulates mobilization of energy reserves from the liver that are transiently available for up to 3 days. Beyond this, the body will then turn to whole body protein catabolism for substrates. This loss of lean body mass is potentially harmful and has been observed as a loss of muscle mass in the diaphragm, the psoas muscles, or the thigh. Further, it has been shown that when the magnitude of loss of muscle mass reaches 20%, it is associated with decreased wound healing, increased muscle weakness, and increased risk of infection

Get PDFNutrition is important for immune system. Lactating women are more susceptible to nutrient deficiencies therefore diseases. More attention to the intake status of lactating women is needed in order to optimize intervention when required.

Medical nutrition therapy and home monitoring in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient with metabolic syndrome and history of diabetic ketoacidosis
Get PDFObesity, one of the risk factors for mtype 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is known to cause low-grade inflammation and increase T2DM morbidity. Obesity and T2DM also lead to other comorbidities, such as metabolic syndrome. The provision of medical nutrition therapy accompanied with routine home monitoring could improve glycemic control and achieve therapeutic targets, simultaneously
Water quality and the impact to the health
Get PDFWater is the major constituent of the human body. Water is essential for life and maintaining optimal levels of hydration is important for humans to function well. Water makes up a large proportion of our body weight, distributed between the intracellular (inside cells) and extracellular (water in the blood and in between cells) compartments. Water is the major component of body fluids, such as blood, synovial fluid (fluid in the joints), saliva and urine, which perform vital functions in the body. Human body cannot produce enough water by metabolism or obtain enough water by food ingestion to fulfil its needs. As a consequence, we need to pay attention to what we drink throughout the day to ensure that we are meeting our daily water needs, as not doing so may have negative health effects
Disease-related malnutrition in children with cancer: What’s the risk and the impact on patient's outcome?
No full textBackground: Malnutrition in children with cancer is a common problem, particularly in low-income countries. Risk factors, effects on outcome, and feasible interventions are important to comprehend in managing patients.
Objectives: To know the risk and impact of malnutrition in children with patients.
Discusion: Children with cancer are at risk of suffering from malnutrition. Malnutrition occurs due to energy imbalance and results from multifactorial interactions, including type of tumors and therapy. Malnutrition can contribute to poor clinical outcome and decreased quality of life. Management of malnutrition in pediatric patients with cancer include screening and nutritional interventions with suitable route of administration based on patient condition
The impact of excessive weight gain on hypertension, steroid induced diabetes, and disease parameters in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus patients
Get PDFSystemic inflammation, corticosteroids therapy, and reduced physical activity may predispose the accumulation of body fat in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, less is known about its impact in children.(1,2) This study aims to explore the impact of excessive weight gain on pediatric SLE patients
Nutrition in Indonesia toddlers and preschools: understanding challenges and strategies
Get PDFThere is surely rapid development of toddler and preschool age children, especially related to human brain development. Poor development among under-five children in Indonesia in 2010 is ranged 40–59%. Global data shows that there is triple burden of malnutrition, and amongst improper behavior, the two highest clinical symptoms are hyperactivity and showing anger when displeased. This shows that children need nurturing care in which has its contribution through the life course
Strategy to fulfill fiber requirement in children
Get PDFDiet in childhood influences not only the immediate health of children but also may have an impact in a positive or negative manner on the future health status. Dietary fiber has many physiological effects including reducing postprandial glucose concentrations, improving fecal bulk, promoting laxation, interfering with fat and cholesterol absorption, and altering bacteria populations in the gut microbiome. The first years of life may be critical for the establishment of a healthy colonic microflora, as well as good eating habits
Special Group Discussion: nutrition and Covid-19 comparison in several countries
Get PDFPatients with COVID-19 who are in the ICU considered to be extremely high malnutrition, which is caused by food intake matter and the disease itself. In critically ill, the definition of malnutrition is not only based on weight loss but also muscle wasting, sarcopenia and metabolic dysregulation. Good nutrition management prevents malnutrition getting worse. Nutritional theraphy is an essential element of the patients management. Nutritional screening and assessment, as well as nutritional management, should be integrated into general therapeutic strategy. Nutrition theraphy to ICU patients with COVID-19 has been published by some institutions/organizations
Value of fish oil in nutrition therapy in Covid-19 illness
Get PDFOur expertise in the medical treatment of COVID-19 infections has grown with time and experience, resulting in the development of a cohesive overall therapeutic strategy for control of the viral infection from supportive measures for mild to moderate illness, to the full range of relevant organ support in critical illness in ICU. In parallel, our strategies for providing nutrition therapy have also evolved beyond the mere delivery of macronutrients (calories and protein) to the utilization of specific nutritional substrates that may play an important role in modifying the course of the disease and optimizing clinical outcomes
