Nutritional support in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textBackground: The efficacy of nutritional support in the management of malnutrition in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is controversial. Previous meta-analyses, based on only cross-sectional analysis at the end of intervention trials, found no evidence of improved outcomes.Objective: The objective was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to clarify the efficacy of nutritional support in improving intake, anthropometric measures, and grip strength in stable COPD.Design: Literature databases were searched to identify RCTs comparing nutritional support with controls in stable COPD.Results: Thirteen RCTs (n = 439) of nutritional support [dietary advice (1 RCT), oral nutritional supplements (ONS; 11 RCTs), and enteral tube feeding (1 RCT)] with a control comparison were identified. An analysis of the changes induced by nutritional support and those obtained only at the end of the intervention showed significantly greater increases in mean total protein and energy intakes with nutritional support of 14.8 g and 236 kcal daily. Meta-analyses also showed greater mean (±SE) improvements in favor of nutritional support for body weight (1.94 ± 0.26 kg, P < 0.001; 11 studies, n = 308) and grip strength (5.3%, P < 0.050; 4 studies, n = 156), which was not shown by ANOVA at the end of the intervention, largely because of bias associated with baseline imbalance between groups.Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that nutritional support, mainly in the form of ONS, improves total intake, anthropometric measures, and grip strength in COPD. These results contrast with the results of previous analyses that were based on only cross-sectional measures at the end of intervention trial

Should food or supplements be used in the community for the treatment of disease-related malnutrition?
No full textStrategies are needed for community-based treatment of disease-related malnutrition (DRM), which is a common debilitating condition that in the UK is estimated to cost >£7×10? annually. Whilst dietary fortification and counselling are often used as a first-line treatment for malnutrition, the numbers of dietitians available to undertake and oversee such practices are currently insufficient to address the extent of DRM in primary care. Although dietary fortification and counselling can improve nutritional (primarily energy) intake, the evidence base for this practice is weak and it needs addressing with well-designed trials that assess clinically-relevant outcome measures and costs. Liquid oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are increasingly used in the community, often in combination with dietary counselling. The larger evidence base of trials that have assessed ONS suggests that nutritional intake and some functional outcomes can be improved in some patient groups in the community. Although meta-analysis indicates significant reductions in mortality (odds ratio 0·59 (95% CI 0·48, 0·72), n 3258) and complication rates (odds ratio 0·41 (95% CI 0·31, 0·53), n 1710) with ONS v. routine care, few of these studies are community based. Thus, the impact of ONS on clinical outcome, healthcare use and costs requires further assessment. Similarly, the clinical and cost efficacy of other strategies (e.g. sensory enhancement, music, behavioural therapy), alone or in combination with other treatments, requires greater investigation in order to meet the challenge of treating DRM more effectively and cheaply in the future
Skiffle, variety and Englishness
No full textI want to examine the impact of American popular music on English popular music during the late 1950s and early 1960s. However, rather than the impact itself, which is well known, I want to think about the ways that American popular music was indigenized and incorporated into a continuity of English popular music that was focused on music hall and its mass media renovation as variety. In this chapter I shall be arguing that skiffle, although originally an American, indeed African-American, form, became, in its English reworking by artists such as Lonnie Donegan, a means of resistance to the impact of rock’n’roll. Many artists who started as skifflers went on to play important roles in the beat bands, helping to mould their distinctively English sound. As skiffle gave way to the beat groups so the English music-hall heritage resurfaced. This chapter ends with a brief overview of that music-hall influence on the early beat groups such as Herman’s Hermits, supplementing some of the remarks made at the close of Dave Laing’s chapter
Buried in Shades of Night: Contested Voices, Indian Captivity, and the Legacy of King Philip\u27s War
No full textBilly J. Stratton\u27s critical examination of Mary Rowlandson\u27s 1682 publication, The Soveraignty and Goodness of God, reconsiders the role of the captivity narrative in American literary history and national identity. With pivotal new research into Puritan minister Increase Mather\u27s influence on the narrative, Stratton calls for a reconsideration of past scholarly work on the genre --Provided by publisher
