Strategies to Fill the Gaps in Nutrition Education for Health Professionals through Continuing Medical Education
AbstractPurpose of ReviewRecent studies have documented that diet quality in the US is poor and linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), other non-communicable diseases, and total mortality. As a result, nutrition counseling in clinical practice is an evidence-based strategy endorsed by numerous stakeholders. However, medical nutrition education (MNE) in the US has been inadequate, and physician knowledge, competencies, and practices related to diet counseling have been documented to be insufficient. National scientific meetings and conferences offer opportunities to translate new scientific evidence, guidel...

Culinary Medicine Basics and Applications in Medical Education in the United States.
Authors: Hauser ME Abstract Culinary medicine is an evidence-based field of medicine that combines nutrition science and culinary arts to create food that is delicious, promotes wellness, prevents and treats disease. Historically, nutrition education has been limited to fewer than 20 hours in the preclinical years of undergraduate medical education, focused on nutrients rather than food, and largely separated from the clinical experience. Programs at all levels of medical training are introducing culinary medicine educational opportunities to bridge this gap in practical nutrition knowledge and skills to better pre...

The integration of nutrition into the curriculum on medical education in Cardiff University
Background: Nutrition is a basic requirement for life. As such, nutrition is vital in promoting health and preventing disease. Many factors and disease states alter some one's ability to maintain optimal nutritional health and can often result if not detected and treated in malnutrition. Patients routinely seek doctor ’s' guidance about diet and the relation between nutrition and the prevention and treatment of disease. However, the adequacy of nutrition education in undergraduate medical education is questionable.

Correlation of mortality with Pro-BNP and precipitating factors of acute heart failure in patients presenting to a medical emergency of tertiary care hospital: an observational study from north India
CONCLUSIONS: Poor compliance with medications and sepsis are the most common precipitating factors for acute heart failure in north Indian patients. Sepsis as a precipitating factor is a significant risk factor for in-hospital mortality in acute heart failure patients presenting to the emergency department. Pro-BNP values above 2000 pg/ml in patients with acute heart failure requiring emergency admission are associated with a poor prognosis.PMID:36196696 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202209_29745
