Role of meal replacement in type 2 diabetesAmogh lotankar
This document discusses several studies on the relationship between obesity, diabetes, and meal replacements. It finds that modest weight loss through calorie reduction and physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity. Meal replacements as part of a structured diet plan are emerging as a cost-effective solution for weight management in type 2 diabetes patients. Clinical trials show meal replacements result in greater weight loss and improved cardiovascular risk factors compared to usual diets. Liquid meal replacements are a safe and effective tool for weight loss in obese type 2 diabetes patients, resulting in improved body weight, glucose, and lipid levels.
This document discusses the role of enteral nutrition therapy in treating pediatric Crohn's disease. It provides a history of enteral therapy and reviews studies showing its effectiveness in inducing remission and improving growth. Enteral therapy is recommended as a first-line induction treatment in other countries but not widely used in the US due to concerns about side effects, compliance and lack of experience. The document outlines the pros and cons of enteral therapy and compares it favorably to steroid treatment, noting its ability to induce remission, improve mucosal healing and linear growth with fewer adverse effects. Unanswered questions remain around optimal protocols and long-term outcomes compared to other medical therapies.

Early Enteral Nutrition in Critically Ill Patients is the best for helping early recovery, decreasing hospital stay and decreasing malnutrition in ICU
How? When? Formulas used? Access forms?
Intermittent bolus feeding versus continuous enteral feedingDr. Prashant Kumar
Early enteral nutrition is recommended in critically ill adult patients. The optimal method of administering enteral nutrition remains unknown. Continuous enteral nutrition administration in critically ill patients remains the most common practice worldwide; however, its practice has recently been called into question in favour of intermittent enteral nutrition administration, where volume is infused multiple times per day.
This presentation will outline the key differences between continuous and intermittent enteral nutrition, describe the metabolic responses to continuous and intermittent enteral nutrition administration and outline recent studies comparing continuous with intermittent enteral nutrition administration on outcomes in critically ill adults.
This document discusses nutrition in surgical patients. It begins by outlining the goals of nutritional support, which include identifying patients at risk of malnutrition, preventing or reversing catabolism, and meeting energy requirements. It then covers topics like malnutrition, nutritional assessment tools, estimating energy needs, and administration of enteral and parenteral nutrition. The key points are that nutritional support should begin preoperatively for high-risk patients or if oral intake won't resume within 7 days post-op, and the enteral route is preferred over parenteral nutrition when possible.
IBS is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. It affects 5-10% of people in North America, predominantly women aged 20-39. The causes involve genetics, gut motility issues, hypersensitivity, and the brain-gut axis. Treatment focuses on symptom relief through diet, exercise, fiber, probiotics, antispasmodics, antidepressants, and 5-HT agonists/antagonists. Managing IBS can be challenging due to recurrent, resistant symptoms.

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of diet-induced weight loss, exercise-induced weight loss, exercise without weight loss, and a control group on obesity and related health factors in obese men over 3 months. It found that both diet-induced and exercise-induced weight loss groups lost approximately 7.5 kg (8%) of body weight, with greater total fat loss in the exercise group. Abdominal fat and insulin resistance decreased similarly in both weight loss groups. Exercise without weight loss reduced abdominal fat and prevented further weight gain, but did not change weight or insulin resistance.
This document contains abstracts from presentations at the December 2014 International Sports and Exercise Nutrition Conference.
The first abstract finds that high intensity exercise (70% VO2max) increased sensitivity to sour tastes compared to low intensity exercise (50% VO2max), with no differences in sensitivity to other tastes. Sensitivity to sweet tastes negatively correlated with changes in blood glucose for both intensities.
The second abstract finds that a 16-week diet and exercise program resulted in fat mass loss and lean mass gain for all diet groups (high protein or control), along with improved health markers. Extra protein intake from dairy did not further enhance results.
The third abstract finds that intensive treadmill exercise in mice increased small intestine permeability,
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity, resulting in greater weight loss than diet and exercise alone. The three most common bariatric surgery procedures are sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric banding. Sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass typically result in 60-70% excess weight loss, while gastric banding results in less weight loss of around 50%. Bariatric surgery significantly improves or resolves obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Complications can include leaks, strictures, nutritional deficiencies, and gallstones, but can often be managed endoscopically.
role of nutrition in surgical critical care patientsAditya Yadav
The document discusses key points regarding surgical nutrition including:
- Enteral nutrition is preferred over parenteral nutrition when the GI tract is functional and should be initiated within 18 hours for burns and 24 hours for critically ill patients.
- Early enteral nutrition within 24 hours is associated with better outcomes than delayed feeding.
- Parenteral nutrition carries risks and should only be used when enteral is not possible or sufficient.
- Preoperative fasting from midnight is often unnecessary and clear fluids can be allowed until 2 hours before surgery.
Functional Digestive Disorders and the Role of Diet by Giovanni BarbaraKiwifruit Symposium
Prof. Giovanni Barbara, Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology at the University of Bologna, Italy: http://www.kiwifruitsymposium.org/presentations/functional-gastrointestinal-disorders-and-the-role-of-diet/
Roughly 30% of the population is affected by at least one of the several functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) with functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic constipation (CC) being the most common.
This document provides information on nutrition support and surgical nutrition. Key points include:
- Malnutrition increases surgical risk and complications such as delayed wound healing. Various assessments can evaluate malnutrition.
- Enteral nutrition is preferable to parenteral nutrition when possible due to lower risk of complications. Tube feeding is indicated when oral intake is insufficient.
- Parenteral nutrition is indicated when the gastrointestinal tract is nonfunctional or inaccessible long-term. It carries higher risks than enteral nutrition.
- Nutrition support should aim to meet calorie, protein, vitamin and mineral needs depending on the individual's condition and goals of therapy. The route and composition of support should be tailored accordingly.
Post surgery Nutrition- Semi elemental Formulaabir mukherjee
Nutritional support is important for patients after surgery to support recovery. Early enteral nutrition within 24-48 hours after surgery is recommended to improve outcomes as long as the patient is stable. Semi-elemental diets are better absorbed and tolerated for post-operative patients, helping to avoid total parenteral nutrition. Semi-elemental diets also help maintain gut integrity which is important for recovery and reducing risks of infection.
This document discusses different types of nutritional support including enteral and parenteral feeding. Enteral feeding involves providing nutrients directly into the gastrointestinal tract via feeding tubes like nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes. Parenteral feeding provides nutrients intravenously when a patient cannot use their GI tract. The document describes the different tube types used for enteral feeding as well as indications, benefits, and potential complications of enteral and parenteral nutrition support.
This document provides information about obesity, including definitions, classifications, causes, comorbidities, and treatments. It discusses:
- Definitions of obesity based on body mass index (BMI) and classifications of overweight and obesity.
- Causes of obesity including genetic, hormonal, environmental, and behavioral factors.
- Common obesity-related health conditions or comorbidities such as diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, cancer, and arthritis.
- Treatment options for obesity including lifestyle changes, medications, bariatric surgery procedures like gastric bypass and banding, and their risks and effectiveness. Bariatric surgery can result in significant and long-term weight loss and improvement of comorbidities.

Chapter 15 Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Support KellyGCDET
The document discusses enteral and parenteral nutrition support. Enteral nutrition involves tube feedings directly to the stomach or small intestine, while parenteral nutrition provides nutrients intravenously. Enteral is preferred when possible due to lower risks of infection and maintaining gut function. Tube feeding routes include nasogastric, nasoduodenal and gastrostomy tubes. Formulas are selected based on a patient's condition and needs. Administration involves gradually increasing delivery rates until goal is reached. Complications can be prevented by proper selection and delivery of feedings. Parenteral nutrition is considered when enteral is not possible due to conditions like short bowel syndrome.
Assess The Effect of Resistance Training Compared To a Weight Loss Diet Progr...IOSR Journals
To evaluate the effect of a Resistance training program (BT) versus weight loss diet (DR) on body composition, insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk factors in obese adolescents. Methods: Thirty obese adolescents with a BMI above the 97th percentile participated in a training program and diet for 12 weeks. They were randomized into two groups: a diet group (DR, n = 16) with a caloric restriction of 500 kcal / day and Strength training group (BT, n = 14) for all major muscle groups, three sessions / week with an intensity of 50-80% (1.RM) for 3 months. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements were performed for all of our subjects before and after the intervention program of 12 weeks. Results: Significant variations of body composition parameters were observed in both groups. The decrease of BMI, body weight, fat mass and (WC) for the group (DR) was more important than the group (BT) (p <0.01><0.05><0.05)),><0.05).><0.05) respectively). Conclusion: Strength training improves much more the sensitivity to insulin and cardiovascular risk factors than weight loss diet program. The latter is more effective for weight loss, BMI and body fat in obese adolescent boys.
Bariatric surgery leads to long-term weight loss and improved health outcomes through physiological rather than mechanical mechanisms. It alters gastrointestinal signals that change the body's defended fat mass set point and regulate appetite and metabolism. Specifically, surgery modifies the luminal environment and gut microbiota composition, increasing circulating bile acids and triggering hormonal and neuronal signals that decrease hunger and food reward while increasing energy expenditure. This physiological reprogramming opposes the effects of dieting and underlies the durable benefits of bariatric procedures.
The document provides guidelines for enteral nutrition including criteria for use, access devices, initiation and advancement of feeding, administration methods, monitoring, and safety. It recommends starting enteral nutrition at 25% of goal rate and advancing slowly over 3-5 days to prevent refeeding syndrome in at-risk patients such as those with malnutrition. Guidelines are given for checking and interpreting gastric residual volumes to monitor for intolerance and reducing risks of aspiration.

This document discusses the importance of nutrition training for hospital staff. It aims to help nursing staff and canteen staff appropriately utilize the dietetics department to improve nutritional care for patients. The document outlines how malnutrition is common in hospitals, affecting health outcomes. It emphasizes the roles of various staff in nutritional screening, care planning, and meeting patients' nutritional needs through normal foods, supplements, and enteral/parenteral feeding if needed. The importance of education and training for staff on nutritional care is also highlighted.
The document discusses surgical nutrition and perioperative nutritional support. It finds that for well-nourished or mildly malnourished patients, nutritional support did not improve outcomes and increased infectious complications. However, for severely malnourished patients undergoing major surgery, nutritional support reduced postoperative complications by 10% without increasing infections. The document provides guidance on assessing nutritional status, determining energy and protein requirements, and administering enteral or parenteral nutrition appropriately based on a patient's condition.
1. Nutritional Support In The Surgical PatientMD Specialclass
The document discusses nutritional support in surgical patients. It covers 5 key issues: indications for nutritional support, determining nutritional status, the effectiveness of support for well-nourished vs malnourished patients, the route of nutrition (enteral vs parenteral), and appropriate composition of diets. Severely malnourished patients, those with short bowel syndrome, and those not expected to feed for 7+ days are good candidates. Markers like weight loss, transport proteins, and nutritional indices help determine status. Enteral nutrition is preferred but parenteral may be needed in some cases.
Sanis-Nutrisport 2014 Nutrizione, Integrazione e SportRoberto Conte
The document describes a study that tested a functional food formulation called Nutrimonium in athletes participating in an ultra-marathon race. 47 athletes took Nutrimonium for one month prior to the race and during the race. 24 athletes reported benefits such as more energy and fewer gastrointestinal issues. Only 1 athlete taking Nutrimonium dropped out due to GI problems, compared to 6 athletes in the control group. The results suggest Nutrimonium helped maintain intestinal barrier function and reduced GI side effects from intense exercise.
Utilizing ERAS to improve diet advancement post opGastrodiet
Early feeding after surgery, including clear liquids and solid foods within 24 hours, provides nutritional benefits without increasing complications compared to traditional practices of withholding food until bowel function resumes. A meta-analysis of 15 studies found early feeding reduced total postoperative complications and length of stay without increasing mortality, anastomotic leaks, or time to flatus. Recommendations are provided for diet advancement tailored to specific surgeries and conditions. Close collaboration with surgical teams is important to standardize practices and provide guidance on appropriate diets.

Proprioceptive, aquatic, and tai chi exercises in particular have moderate evidence of benefits.
Community Based Cool Water Aqua-therapy for People with MS - Tania Burge, Ang...MS Trust
This document summarizes a study that developed an aquatic exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) at a local leisure center. The 5-week program involved supervised circuit training exercises to improve balance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. Of the 18 initial participants, 15 completed the program and showed improvements in measures of balance, walking speed, and impact of MS. Many participants reported benefits to mobility and reduced reliance on walking aids. Most participants continued exercising independently after completing the program.
1) The study examined the effects of a 6-week aerobic exercise program on serum resistin levels in 24 sedentary obese women divided into an exercise or control group.
2) While the exercise group showed improvements in body weight and abdominal obesity after the program, their serum resistin levels did not change significantly compared to pre-training levels.
3) The findings suggest that more substantial weight loss, of at least 5% of body weight, may be needed to see improvements in adipocytokine levels like resistin in obese individuals.

1) Attiva is a novel superabsorbent biodegradable hydrogel made from cellulose derivatives that expands in the stomach and small intestine to reduce stomach volume and induce satiety.
2) A study of 95 subjects found that ingesting Attiva before meals significantly increased feelings of satiety after meals and decreased hunger before the next meal compared to placebo.
3) Attiva was generally well tolerated, with some subjects reporting mild and transient gastrointestinal symptoms, and no serious adverse events occurred.
This document provides information on bowel preparation for colonoscopy. It discusses the importance of adequate bowel preparation for a successful colonoscopy. Inadequate preparation can lead to missed diagnoses or suboptimal exams. The document outlines ideal characteristics for bowel preparations and compares various preparation regimens, including polyethylene glycol, sodium sulfate, magnesium citrate, and sodium phosphate solutions. It recommends split-dosing, starting the preparation within 5 hours of the procedure, and following enhanced written and verbal instructions to maximize preparation quality.
The document discusses a pilot study comparing the effectiveness of a bowel preparation method using lukewarm salt water and yoga (LWS/Yoga) to a standard PEG-based bowel prep (NuLytely). The study found that the LWS/Yoga method resulted in equal or better colon cleansing scores compared to NuLytely, with no significant changes in electrolyte levels or adverse events. Within the LWS/Yoga group, drinking a larger 16 oz bolus led to better scores than an 8 oz bolus, though the differences were not statistically significant. The results suggest LWS/Yoga is an effective, safe, and inexpensive alternative to PEG-based preps.
The document discusses pelvic floor rehabilitation for treating incontinence and pelvic pain. It outlines different types of urinary incontinence and pelvic pain conditions. Treatment options mentioned include medication, behavior modification, therapeutic exercises, biofeedback training, and manual therapy. Biofeedback training uses sensors and visual feedback to help patients correctly contract and relax pelvic floor muscles. Treatment effectiveness depends on factors like diagnosis, severity of condition, and patient willingness to modify habits. A typical treatment duration is 6-8 sessions over 2-4 weeks with daily home practice.
The document discusses strategies for fueling workouts to improve performance and body composition. It recommends consuming carbohydrates at 55-60% of calories, with protein intake after workouts to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Nutrient timing is important, consuming a carbohydrate and protein supplement within 45 minutes after a workout to take advantage of the anabolic window. The supplement should contain amino acids, creatine, and medium chain triglycerides to support gains in muscle mass and strength. Meal timing and alkaline diets may also provide health benefits such as increased growth hormone and reduced cortisol levels.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.
According to the report, the consumption of video content related to IPL 2024 has seen significant growth, nearly 3 times more than the previous season, reflecting an increasing interest of fans.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.
