Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who regularly consume fruits and vegetables present lower prevalence of disease activation: a cross-sectional study
Exclusion diets are common practices among individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Reports that certain foods trigger or worsen symptoms are recurrent but lack evidence. The aim of the study was to identify which foods were most frequently avoided by patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and whether the consumption of any food group was associated with disease activity.

Persistent inflammation and nutritional status in duchenne muscular dystrophy
This study aims to identify the inflammatory profile of DMD patients and evaluate associations between clinical and nutritional variables. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study nested in a cohort to obtain sociodemographics, illness time, use of medications, and supplement data through interviews and the patient's medical records. Then, we assessed the relationships between illness time, cytokines, and nutritional status. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

LLL Programme – Micronutrients 44 -4 : Micronutrients in acute disease and critical illness
Micronutrients (MN), i.e. trace elements and vitamins, are essential components of the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition, with special needs in critically ill patients.Critical illness is characterised by the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress. MNs are tightly involved in antioxidant and immune defences. In addition, some conditions, and treatments result in large losses of biological fluids containing MNs: therefore, acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy, acute intestinal failure, and major burns and trauma are at high risk of acute depletion of body stores, and of defic...

LLL Programme – Micronutrients 44 - 2 – Vitamins in clinical nutrition
Vitamins are essential organic molecules, which are required in the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition (oral, enteral, parenteral). Despite the small amounts that are required, the vitamins are essential both for maintenance of health, growth, and treatment of disease.After reminding about the principal function of all the vitamins, their needs and the clinical consequences of their deficit, the text present some common clinical problems: the impact of inflammation on the assessment of status.

Effects of Lactobacillus plantarum supplementation on glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes :a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Lactobacillus plantarum has been shown to improve glucose and lipid metabolism in mouse models of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it remains unclear whether such benefits extend to humans. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to clarify the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum supplementation on glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM and prediabetes. The PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled mean difference with 95% CI (confidence interval).

Translation into Brazilian Portuguese and transcultural adaptation and validation of the treatment specific questionnaire Home Parenteral Nutrition- Quality of Life (HPN-QOL ©)
Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) is the main treatment for patients with chronic intestinal failure. It is commonly prescribed for nutritional recovery, survival increase and, whenever possible, improvement of quality of life. As there are no validated instruments in Brazilian Portuguese to be used in these patients, the objective of this study was to carry out the transcultural adaptation and validation of Home Parenteral Nutrition - Quality of life (HPN-QOL ©) into Brazilian Portuguese.

The impact of guideline recommended protein intake on mortality and length of intensive care unit and hospital stay in critically ill adults: a systematic review
International guidelines recommend a target protein intake of ≥1.2 g/kg/day to all critically ill patients for optimal outcomes. There are however various conflicting data related to this recommendation. The primary objective of this review was to compare a protein intake group (≥1.2 g/kg/day) with a lower protein intake group ( (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Association of handgrip strength with nutritional status and clinical outcomes in hospitalized pediatric patients
Malnutrition in children and adolescents is prevalent at hospital admission and the incidence increases with length of stay. Malnourished patients have loss of muscle mass and strength, compromising their functionality. Handgrip strength (HGS) is a nutritional marker understudied in pediatrics although it is capable of detecting nutritional deprivation before changes in body composition are observed. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between reduced HGS at hospital admission, compromised nutritional status and worse clinical outcomes of pediatric patients.
