Much of our knowledge about the signs and symptoms of individual micronutrient deficiencies comes from observations of patients receiving PN, and an example of this is the pivotal paper by Velez and colleagues published in Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition in 1985. This case report was the first published study to identify acute thiamine deficiency with cardiopathy and metabolic acidosis occurring in adult patients receiving vitamin-free PN. Although the importance of thiamine has been recognized since the late 19th century, it is still unclear exactly what dose is required for full repletion of a defici...

Micronutrients, which work in unison, are important for fundamental biological processes and enzymatic reactions, and deficiencies may lead to disastrous consequences. This review concentrates on vitamin B(1), or thiamine. Alcoholism is not the only risk factor for thiamine deficiency, and thiamine deficiency is often not suspected in seemingly well-nourished or even overnourished patients. Deficiency of thiamine has historically been described as beriberi but may often be seen in current-day practice, manifesting as neurologic abnormalities, mental ...

Specifically, the use of immune-modulating diets has brought much excitement as well as debate. Literature to date presents both positive and potential adverse effects. To aid the clinician in the decision-making process, this article reviews the current research and recommendations regarding the use of immune-modulating diets.

To ensure quality HPN outcomes, multidisciplinary teams of HPN experts are needed as are large data sets that will provide indicators of guideline use and outcomes. Furthermore, research is needed so that recommendations are not based totally on expert consensus.

This may impair, at least temporarily, the adequate supply of energy and/or essential fatty acids in infants who do not have central venous access. This study also shows a large heterogeneity of responses with regard to the contraindications for parenteral lipids.

These data also represent the first serial citrulline concentrations over a 21-day period. The increase in citrulline concentrations only in fed patients without bowel loss suggests that citrulline concentrations could provide a biomarker for bowel function and adaptation.

The saturation curves generated from these investigations have been used to formulate thousands of PN solutions. The curves were developed testing only calcium and phosphate without other components added to PN solutions. The authors reviewed 38,019 PN orders from 2007-2010 and plotted the calcium and phosphate concentrations for each solution in relation to the published curves to assess the practical validity of the curves.

The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of glycemic control in 22 non-critically ill diabetic patients, receiving at least 3 days of continuous EN. Patients received different insulin regimens while on continuous EN, including a basal/bolus glargine/lispro regimen (group 1, n = 8), 70/30 biphasic insulin twice daily (group 2, n = 8), and 70/30 biphasic insulin 3 times a day (group 3, n = 6).

More recently, medical science has taken a great interest in the population of micro-organisms, the gut microbiota that normally populates the human gut, and the range of important functions carried out by the microbiota in health is being progressively defined. As a corollary, the list of disorders and diseases that may result from disruption of the normal microbiota and/or its interaction with the host continues to grow.

Population-based surveys estimate 2 of every 3 U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Despite billions of dollars spent annually on weight loss attempts, recidivism is high and long-term results are disappointing. In simplest terms, weight loss and maintenance depend on energy balance, and a combination of increased energy expenditure by exercise and decreased energy intake through caloric restriction is the mainstay of behavioral interventions. Many individuals successfully lose 5%-10% of body weight through behavioral approaches and thereby significantly improve health. Similar success occurs with some weight loss prescriptions, although evidence for suc...

In addition, the disabilities associated with obesity can have significant impact on a patient's quality of life. The interventions to date for treating obesity are generally divided into 2 categories: conservative (diet, exercise, behavioral management, and pharmacology) and surgical. The success rate of conservative management has been modest, at best. Surgical therapy, which can create enduring and significant weight loss in some situations, has its associated morbidity, mortality, and cost. Surgical therapy is not appropriate for someone seeking to lose a modest amount of weight. Internationally, endoscopic devices for obesity are avail...

Although the etiology of this global epidemic is multifactorial, most sufferers would be delighted to find a relatively effortless way to lose weight. Herbal "weight loss pills" can fit the bill. The authors systematically review the scientific evidence concerning various weight loss agents that are available over the counter or in food stores. The review provides a starting point to make informed choices among nutraceutical agents promoted for weight loss, as well as advice for incorporating healthy alternatives in the diet.

It is revealed that the National School Lunch Program contributes to the overall school nutrition environment, including the presence of fast food and vending machines on campuses. The history of physical education is traced back to ancient Greece, and it is shown that the familiar sports-based curriculum is an advent of the 19th century, with the roots of physical education originating from the founders of preventive medicine. Select childhood obesity and health intervention studies are reviewed with a focus on identifying notable features pertaining to the effectiveness of these programs. Future ...

A strong association exists between excessive body weight and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common etiology of abnormal liver function tests. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of liver disease, from a "bland" fatty infiltration to chronic hepatitis (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH), that can result in cirrhosis and organ failure. With the increasing prevalence of obesity in the world, the proportion of people affected by NAFLD is only expected to be parallel. Although primarily noted in obese individuals, NAFLD has also been associated with a number of surgical procedures, metabolic conditions, and medications. ...

Acute kidney injury often occurs in conjunction with critical illness, which is a hypermetabolic state presenting with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, and increased protein catabolism. In addition to addressing these changes, the clinician should evaluate the important nutrition implications of decreased kidney function. These include vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, trace elements, and the presence and type of renal replacement therapy. Optimal nutrition management in acute kidney injury includes providing adequate macronutrient support to correct underlying conditions and pr...

It offers hemodynamic stability while maintaining excellent control of solute and extracellular fluid. To those outside of nephrology, continuous dialysis is often a confusing and poorly understood form of renal replacement therapy. This review aims to provide an overview of CRRT as well as address some of the nutrition concerns surrounding this complex group of patients.

As a result, this intervention has not been recommended in various guidelines for the nutrition support of patients with renal failure. However, all of these trials were relatively small, and none of them compared the intervention to a true control group-namely, patients who were not receiving any artificial nutrition.

However, over the past decade it has become evident that provision of excess calories can be detrimental to patients' outcomes in both critical care and long-term care settings. This review examines patient populations for whom hypocaloric nutrition can be both appropriate and beneficial. In specific situations, critically ill patients, such as those with obesity, stroke, and spinal cord injury, may have decreased energy requirements. In patients with spinal cord injury, the level of injury significantly correlates with the extent of reduced caloric energy expenditure.

Approximately 5.8% of nursing facility residents in the United States receive enteral feedings. The prevalence is higher for residents with cognitive impairment, ranging from 18% to 34%. In cognitively impaired residents, the majority of tube feeding placements occur in the acute care setting and result in significant use of additional healthcare resources and high postinsertion mortality rates within 60 days of insertion.

Many pediatric patients, particularly those with short bowel syndrome or intestinal failure, will eventually require home PN (HPN) therapy. Although discharge to HPN is complex and can be associated with both immediate and long-term complications, it can be successfully achieved through collaboration between healthcare providers within the institution and the home care company and HPN education of the patient and caregivers.

It also has been investigated as a treatment option for other medical conditions, including dermatitis herpetiformis, irritable bowel syndrome, neurologic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and HIV-associated enteropathy. The strength of the evidence for the use of a GFD in these nonceliac diseases varies, and future research may better define the benefits of a GFD for those conditions with weak existing evidence.

The patient had undergone previous abdominal surgery, and removal of the PEG endoscopically was not possible. A barium follow-through was performed in light of the history, and it excluded any mechanical blockage. Follow-up x-ray showed passage of the remnant beyond the pylorus. Despite this, the remnant became lodged in the small bowel, eventually resulting in perforation and death. This case highlights the fact that impaction of the remnant can occur in patients without evidence of mechanical obstruction on investigation. This raises a question about the need for serial x-rays to ensure passage of the remnant if the patient cannot confirm this visually. (Nutr Clin Prac...

Much of the progress has been on the genetic basis of disease as well as the role of microbiota. These findings have magnified the role of the environmental component of this rather complex process. Recent advances have emanated from more in-depth, comprehensive, and at times nontraditional inquiry into the potential role of diet through its anti-inflammatory properties and modulation of microbiota. This concise review focuses on the novel aspects of research related to the potential role of diet in IBD.

Confusion from HE can affect the ability to eat adequately. Despite the prevalence of malnutrition in cirrhotic patients in the 1950s, it was reported that bouts of overt HE were controlled with low protein intake. This largely uncontrolled observation led to restriction of protein intake in cirrhotic patients with or without HE and was an accepted standard of care for many decades to follow. Published in 2004, the pivotal article "Normal Protein Diet for Episodic Hepatic Encephalopathy: Results of a Randomized Study" by Cordoba and colleagues was the first controlled study randomizing cirrhotic patients with HE to receive differen...

Multiple diets were used to treat celiac disease until 1953, when Dicke, Weijers, and van de Kamer identified gluten as the cause of the symptoms. Today, gluten avoidance continues to be the only treatment for patients with celiac disease.

MEDLINE and PubMed were searched using combinations of the following keywords: PN, EN, tumor growth, tumor proliferation, tumor apoptosis, arginine, ω-3 fatty acids, and glutamine. Unfortunately, the effect of nutrition support on tumor growth has been assessed only in terms of tumor proliferation, whereas the interferences on tumor apoptosis have never been determined. Overall, the results seem conflicting and inconclusive.

Prior to the pivotal study by Griffiths and colleagues in 1997, no clinical trials had demonstrated a positive effect from glutamine supplementation on improving long-term survival in critically ill intensive care unit patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Subsequent investigations have confirmed these findings, but further data are needed to determine the optimal dose and timing of glutamine as well as the form of glutamine (ie, free vs dipeptide) that produces the most significant improvement in outcome parameters.

As a result, clinicians have used various methods that may overestimate energy requirements for some patients. Provision of target caloric intake without regard to the complications of overfeeding, such as hyperglycemia, hypercapnia, or gastric feeding intolerance, could result in overall detrimental clinical outcome. Inadequate nutrition support is also associated with adverse clinical outcomes that necessitate optimization of delivery and tolerance of the nutrition regimen.

When a vegetarian diet is appropriately planned and includes fortified foods, it can be nutritionally adequate for adults and children and can promote health and lower the risk of major chronic diseases. The nutrients of concern in the diet of vegetarians include vitamin B(12), vitamin D, ω-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and zinc. Although a vegetarian diet can meet current recommendations for all of these nutrients, the use of supplements and fortified foods provides a useful shield against deficiency. A vegetarian diet usually provides a low intake of saturated fat and cholesterol and a high intake of dietary fiber and many health-promoting phytochemicals. ...

It is associated with a lifestyle system and a spiritual philosophy of life. Unlike many diets, the composition is not fixed and may be altered depending on a person's health status, among other considerations. Studies indicating lower serum lipid levels and blood pressure in people following a macrobiotic diet than in the general population suggest it to be an effective preventive strategy for cardiovascular disease. Many of its components suggest macrobiotics would be a valuable approach to cancer prevention. On the other hand, it has been the subject of controversy, especially with respect to its use in patients suffering from malignancies. Several remarkable anecdota...

Among the expectations for this field is the ability to match foods to the individual's genetically determined ability to digest, absorb, and use the nutrients within those foods. Avoiding foods that are not an appropriate match and focusing on those with a positive impact on health promises to be an important aspect of achieving optimal health. The challenge, however, is to determine what that match is for the human species and, ultimately, for each individual.

Most human studies have correlated analyses of habitual dietary intake as determined by a food frequency questionnaire or 24-hour recall with systemic markers of inflammation like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). An occasional study also includes nutrition analysis of blood components. There have been several controlled interventions which evaluated the effect of a change in dietary pattern or of single foods on inflammatory markers in defined populations.

Malnutrition is a common presenting symptom in both pediatric ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and is associated with increased morbidity. Providing macronutrients can improve growth; likewise, identifying and correcting micronutrient deficiencies can improve comorbid conditions like osteopenia and anemia. Although many patients manipulate their diets to help treat their inflammatory bowel disease, only parenteral nutrition with bowel rest and exclusive enteral nutrition therapy have been shown effective for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Any disease that affects bone health has the potential to affect the bones not only in the short term but also later in life. Bone health abnormalities in patients with inflammatory bowel disease are being increasingly recognized. Screening the at-risk patient is important so that appropriate treatments can be instituted. Treatment options are limited to vitamin D and calcium supplementation, control of underlying disease activity, and appropriate physical activity. The role of bisphosphonates in these patients needs to be better studied, and treatment with bisphosphonates may be considered for some patients in consultation with a bone health expert.

Current clinical recommendations for calcium and phosphate requirements in neonatal PN cannot be achieved with traditional amino acid formulations. The solubility curves of these amion acids do not allow the appropriate doses of calcicum and phosphate to be achieved, therefore placing the neonate at risk of receiving a precipitated infusion. Fitzgerald and MacKay investigated the calcium and phosphate solubility of TrophAmine, an amino acid injection developed for neonatal PN. The results of their findings allow higher concentrations of calcium and phosphate to be added to each pediatric ...

Nutrition, neurological, and endocrine factors all contribute to suboptimal growth. Poor growth and nutrition are associated with poor general health outcomes and reduced levels of participation, and therefore warrant careful evaluation and appropriate intervention. The lack of normative data combined with the complex interaction of nutrition and nonnutrition factors contributing to growth in this population present real difficulties in management. Particular care is needed to avoid overfeeding and the resultant increase in fat mass and associated morbidity. PMID: 20702841 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Nutrition in C...

In individuals with chronic pancreatitis, nutrition status may be further affected by poor dietary intake, often related to alcoholism. However, some deficiencies may be overlooked, potentially leading to nutrition-related problems with bone health and fatigue. The aim of this article is to describe the deficiencies that occur and to propose an evidence-based algorithm for the nutrition assessment and treatment of patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Environmental toxins are associated with the disease and, in a minority of cases, genetic factors have been identified. Inflammation-with activation of phagocytic microglia, release of cytokines, invasion by T cells, and complement activation-plays a role in damaging these neurons. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction leading to apoptosis, accumulation and oligomerization of the protein alpha-synuclein, and defective protein disposal by the ubiquitin proteasome system are involved in the complex web of events mediating nigral cell demise.

At a routine outpatient well-child visit, his mother expressed concern about a decrease in his appetite and activity level. A detailed diet history revealed that breast milk was his primary source of nutrition during his first year of life and he had not been given supplemental vitamins. With attempts to introduce cow's milk formula, he had developed a rash and swelling around the mouth. Shortly after his first birthday, his mother weaned him from breast milk and introduced unfortified rice milk as a palatable milk substitute....
