It was great to be able to present the co-production research that I led at The Nutrition Society Congress last week. With the help of an expert panel, people living with #psoriasis, and nutritionists and dietitians we have developed an evidence-based dietary support resource for psoriasis.

A physical and functional examination is essential in assessing the nutrition status of patients with liver disease. A promising tool is the Royal Free-Hospital–Nutritional Prioritizing Tool (RFH-NPT) (Figure 27-1), which is based on BMI, presence of edema, dietary intake, and recent weight loss. The scoring system is fast and easy to apply, but the method needs validation. In general, traditional methods of nutrition status assessment should be used with caution in patients with cirrhosis. #nutrition_support_pharmacist #nutritionist #dietitian #clinical_nutrition #specialized_pharmacist

Tackling the issue of malnutrition in health care, a serious issue resulting in increased health care burden, requires leadership. Experts from the Academy, key government agencies, industry and academia gathered April 10 and 11 for the first-ever Nutrition Science Forum: Addressing Malnutrition Across the Spectrum, hosted by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation. #eatrightPRO #dietetics #dietitian #nutrition #RDN #NDTR #rdchat

👶When it comes to #ParenteralNutrition for #preterm or sick newborns, there are two approaches: individualised and standardised parenteral nutrition. 🌱𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 Parenteral Nutrition is tailored to the individual needs of each patient. It considers factors like weight, age, health condition, and lab values to calculate the exact nutrient requirements.  ⚖️ Standardised Parenteral Nutrition follows a defined nutrient composition that meets the needs of most patients with similar conditions and age.   💡According to clinical guidelines, using standardised solutions should be preferred over the use of individualised solutions, even for newborns with higher nutrient demands, like those with very low birth weight. For most preterm and sick newborns, standardised solutions can replace individualised formulas, covering the newborn’s needs effectively.  💡𝐃𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧, Deputy Chief Pharmacist at Uppsala University Hospital, and researcher at Department of Women's and Children's Health, emphasises the benefits of standardised parenteral nutrition and explains additional advantages. 📃For a detailed overview of the guideline, click here: https://lnkd.in/dhTyXEjb 👉Information about optimal neonatal parenteral nutrition practice: https://lnkd.in/epgpNp9g #OptimalPNPractice #Nutrition #EarlyNutrition #NutritionExpert #NutritionalManagement #LearnAndShareForBetterCare #PatientSafety #NICU  

Children in Norway would benefit from iodine fortification: a recently published study aimed to describe iodine nutrition (iodine status and intake) in children under 2 years of age in Norway and to describe the associations with maternal iodine nutrition. The study found that: 📍 The median UIC (urinary iodine concentration) in children was 145 μg/L, indicating an adequate iodine status according to the WHO cutoff (100 μg/L).  📍 The median usual iodine intake was 83 μg/day.  📍 35% had suboptimal usual iodine intakes (below the proposed estimated average requirement (72 μg/d) 📍 There was a positive correlation between children's iodine intake and breast milk iodine concentration, and between children's urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and breast milk iodine concentration, maternal UIC, and maternal iodine intake. 💡Despite a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) above the cutoff for iodine sufficiency, more than a third of the children had a suboptimal usual iodine intake. 💡The results suggest that many children may benefit from iodine fortification. 💡The risk of iodine excess in this age group is low.

Nausea and vomiting are common and distressing side effects of chemotherapy, often affecting 20-70% of patients despite anti-emetic medication.    We conducted a study to identify 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲-𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐕).    This systematic review is the first to consolidate all evidence to date on the effectiveness of dietary and nutrition strategies to improve symptom severity.    Key findings:  💡 CINV-specific education and support is the most well-supported dietary strategy.    💡 Other approaches like ginger tea, a Mediterranean diet, and adequate nutrition might be beneficial, but further research is needed.    This study was done in association with Bond University, the University of the Sunshine Coast and QUT (Queensland University of Technology).      Read our manuscript published in Clinical Nutrition here: https://lnkd.in/e2mw9Fbp        #RIFHealth #RIFH #CancerResearch #HealthcareResearch #medicalresearch #ClinicalTrials #clinicalresearch
