Summary: Evidence-based practice is a systematic approach to decision-making that helps healthcare professionals use the best available evidence to guide clinical practice. In the field of sports nutrition, practitioners face similar challenges as they navigate through a plethora of information to make recommendations to athletes in a time-pressed environment. By adapting the evidence-based framework, practitioners can bridge the gap between science and practice in sport and exercise nutrition by reflecting on their own experience and skills.

Summary: The study introduces a part of the revised guideline of "Daicho Polyp Shinryo Guideline 2020" published by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, which covers various aspects of colorectal polyps such as epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment. By discussing and analyzing 18 clinical questions, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of colorectal polyps were proposed.

Summary: Research in the past decade has shown a lack of rigorous evidence to support continued recommendations to limit saturated fats or replace them with polyunsaturated fats. However, recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines still recommend limiting saturated fats to 10% of total energy intake without considering the findings of these studies. This recommendation also overlooks the important effects of the food matrix and overall dietary pattern when consuming saturated fatty acids.

Summary: Early detection of immunotherapy-induced tumor response is crucial, but therapy-induced pseudoprogression can make it complicated. A consensus guideline called iRECIST, a modification of RECIST version 1.1, was developed. This article explores the next steps required to test its validity and proposes novel approaches for response criteria.

Summary: This study examined the alignment between registered dietitian nutritionists' documented nutrition care and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines for diabetes. The results showed that most of the guideline recommendations were implemented, particularly those related to improving glycemic control. However, a midpoint training on the guidelines did not have any impact on the alignment of care.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the current clinical practice, adherence to evidence-based guidelines, and the perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes of the multidisciplinary team caring for inpatients with an eating disorder at a small metro hospital. The findings revealed gaps between evidence-based practice and patient care and a lack of confidence among staff in providing care for this patient group.

Summary: This study proposes a FHIR-based format that uses computer-interpretable representations of knowledge artifacts to directly generate evidence-based recommendations. An information model and corresponding representation based on FHIR resources were developed, allowing for the transparent evaluation of evidence and the facilitation of computer-interpretable guideline recommendations.
