B&Cs were the major dietary contributors of sodium intake, suggesting that they are primary targets for a reduction in their sodium content.

Taking blood samples at variable time points in the day may lead to variation in interpreting dietary control. A detailed study is necessary to examine the 24‐h diurnal variation of plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine in HT1. It is possible that phenylalanine concentrations may be very low for a substantive time over 24 h and the potential impact that this may have on cognitive development and growth in children is unknown.

Ageing is associated with the inability to appropriately increase food intake after under‐eating in the short‐ and long‐term. Older people also report lower feelings of hunger and increased feelings of satiety and fullness. Gastrointestinal peptide hormones are a major part of the appetite regulatory system and are released in response to nutritional stimuli. They can be classified as: anorexigenic (satiety) [e.g. peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), glucagon‐like peptide‐1, pancreatic polypeptide, oxyntomodulin and cholecystokinin (CCK)] or orexigenic (hunger) (e.g. ghrelin). Although the control of appetite is not fully understood, it is clear that these hormones play an important ro...

Where BMI was recorded, many notes had either height or weight missing or had measurements recorded in imperial units. This raises the question of how BMI was calculated and its accuracy. Inaccuracies in BMI could lead to individuals being overlooked as high risk and may not be referred for appropriate care including dietetic care. Accurate anthropometric measurements are important for dietary management and monitoring of weight gain.

The role of habitual snacking on nutrient dense and satiating foods on both weight over time, and diet quality, warrants further study. Satiating snacks rich in fibre may provide a means to weight stabilisation.

Dietary phenylalanine intake is severely restricted, and the diet is supplemented with phenylalanine‐free amino acids and special low protein foods. In PKU, there are no evidence‐based weaning guidelines and no studies assessing the introduction of solid foods. We critically review the literature and examine current UK weaning practices. Ideally, weaning in PKU should closely reflect the ‘model’ for healthy infants. However, the requirement for optimal blood phenylalanine control and the demands of diet therapy overshadow the social aspects of weaning. Solid food intake is established with very low protein foods first, and then 50 mg phenylalanine exchanges (equivalent to 1 g of intact protein) graduall...

This review discusses the aetiology, diagnostic criteria and investigations pertinent to gastroparesis, and also critically reviews the evidence for nutritional and medical management strategies. Dietary manipulation plays a key role in management, and simple adjustment to meal routines and diets can lead to an improvement in symptoms, whereas alternative feeding routes play an important role in more severe cases. The role of pharmaceutical intervention is less clear; prokinetics and antiemetics are often prescribed; however, evidence for their efficacy is lacking, whereas gastric electric...

Their ‘malnutrition’ not only refers to physical malnutrition alone, but also incorporates psychological and social ‘malnutrition’. When applying standards or protocols regarding nutritional care, these wider issues must be taken into account to meet patients’ nutritional needs.

There was no correlation with the CED and number of complications. The CED was correlated with an increased LOS on ICU. All patients experienced a CED during their ICU stay. The CED was a result of insufficient feed delivery as a result of reduced compliance with protocol guidelines and guidance not covering all aspects of EN thoroughly.References:  Bartlett, R.H.

Further work needs to be conducted to identify reasons for DNA and clinic cancellations. No difference in DNA rates was found between sexes in the total clinic; however, additional research is needed to assess other factors affecting attendance such as age, language, underlying clinical condition, number of co‐morbidities, mobility status, employment status, understanding of reason for referral, expectation of what a dietitian can offer, education of patients, social barriers, physician's age and knowledge, transport, ill‐health and financial constraints.References:  Burns, F.M., Mercer, C.H., Evans, A.R., ...

A downward trend was also evident in the amount of weight lost across the follow‐up sessions for both services. A similar percentage of patients achieved weight loss in the outpatient and HCGP sessions; however, the mean weight loss was greater in the one‐to‐one clinic sessions compared to the HCGP. Further work is needed to investigate factors affecting weight loss in patients such as readiness and motivation to change and the level of understanding of the importance of weight reduction to overall health. Additional research should also investigate whether a mixed intervention can achieve weight ...

Recent weight loss remains one of the triad of clinical manifestations and a cornerstone for the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD), although significantly fewer patients now present as being underweight. Recent evidence suggests that the introduction of medical treatment will quickly restore body weight, although this does not reflect concomitant changes in body composition. CD children present with features of nutritional cachexia with normal fat stores but depleted lean mass. Poor bone health, delayed puberty and growth failure are additional features that further complicate clinical management. Suboptimal nutritional intake is a main determinant of undernutrition, al...

Further trials of the two methods of enteral feeding, incorporating larger sample sizes, are required.References:  Corry, J., Poon, W., McPhee, N., Milner, A.D., Cruickshank, D. & Porceddu, S.V.l.

Combined with the fact that there is no specific guideline for including iron rich foods in the weaning diet, it could be a key area for public health intervention.References:  Bolling, K., Grant, C., Hamlyn, B. & Thornton, A.

Student attitudes towards alcohol, university culture's influence and alcohol promotions targeting students, are key factors requiring action. The high prevalence of binge drinking provides evidence that these students are at risk of short and long term alcohol related health problems, and nutritional deficiencies.References:  Drink Aware (2009) Students [online] available from <http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/alcohol‐and‐you/students> [Accessed on 15 January 2010].Gill, J.

Further work in the reformulation of recipes to address the iron and sodium content of the school menus is warranted. Larger investigations to examine what foods are actually consumed by the children will provide more accurate conclusions.Table 1.  Nutrient analysis of primary school dinners compared with the School Food Trust Food Based Stanadrds  Nutrient Based Standard*All three SchoolsSchool A (n = 60)School B (n = 40)School C (n = 185)abcSignificant difference to NBS using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test: aP < 0.05, bP < 0.001, cP < 0.01. *SFT, 2...

Further research initiatives targeted at primary school children might also consider family/peer group influences and home FV usage in relation to variety and meal patterns.References:  Hancock, B.

Whilst the specific findings of this study may not be not be generalisable to the experience of all patients, they show that the most important issue for patients is that their individual needs and circumstances are recognised by a dietitian during a consultation. Awareness of this is essential if dietitians are to function effectively as facilitators of behaviour change.References:  Ong, L.M., de Haes, J.C., Hoos, A.M. & Lammes, F.B.

This audit did not include a control group, and future studies could compare the outcomes of treatment with Byetta against outcomes after conventional treatment. The management of patients on Byetta followed the NICE guidance for the majority of the time. However, data for some patients was missing from ‘Diabeta’, suggesting that staff were not always recording information after each consultation with the patient. In future, a larger sample size would increase the validity of results, and future audits within the hospital could focus on record keeping.References:  Buse J.B., He...
