Summary: This study aimed to investigate the activity of a nutrition support team (NST) and the trends of multi-chamber bag (MCB) and customized parenteral nutrition (PN) with NST consultations in South Korea. The study found that the activity of NST had increased by more than 50% over 6 years. The majority of NST consultations were for MCB-PN, which mainly consisted of elderly cancer patients, while customized PN consultations were more common among patients under the age of 5 and had longer hospitalization periods.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the dietary practices of para-athletes and identified factors such as nutrition knowledge and body image that may hinder their nutrition practices. Results showed para-athletes had lower nutrition knowledge compared to collegiate student athletes and unique eating perceptions. Future interventions should focus on providing tailored nutritional support and education, highlighting the crucial role of dietitians in the process.

Summary: This review summarizes the main pancreatic diseases from a nutritional perspective, emphasizing the importance of nutrition in the management of these diseases. Early identification of malnutrition is crucial in maintaining adequate nutritional status in patients with acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Following a proper diet and receiving nutritional counseling are essential for treating pancreatic diseases. Oral nutritional supplements, fat-soluble vitamins, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition may be necessary depending on the specific condition. Pancreatic enzyme therapy plays a key role in managing patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Improving the nutritional status and quality of life through nutrition can have a positive impact on patients with pancreatic diseases, including potentially improving life expectancy in pancreatic cancer patients. Therefore, nutrition should be given the importance it deserves.

Summary: Different combinations of gut health-promoting dietary interventions were tested to support broilers during different stages of Eimeria infection. The best feed conversion ratio, as well as lower oocyst output and lesion scores, were observed in broilers that received multispecies probiotics, saponins, artemisin, curcumin, coated butyrate and threonine.

Summary: Research is ongoing regarding nutritional practices in pediatric intensive care units (PICU), particularly for children with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Data suggest that contemporary neurocritical care practices may mitigate the expected hypermetabolic state after sTBI, and early enteral nutrition may be associated with lower morbidity and mortality.

Summary: Parenteral nutrition is a life-saving intervention for patients who cannot receive oral or enteral nutrition. It consists of essential components such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, and electrolytes. Parenteral nutrition should be provided through a central line to prevent complications. However, peripheral administration is possible in some cases. Monitoring and early management are crucial to prevent complications associated with parenteral nutrition therapy.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the benefit of early supplemental parenteral nutrition in critically ill patients undergoing surgery who are not eligible for early enteral nutrition. Patients with high malnutrition risk who received early PN supplementation had lower 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates compared to those who did not receive PN earlier.

Summary: Body contouring surgery following significant weight loss due to bariatric surgery can lead to various complications, and this review examines the role of nutrients in tissue healing postoperatively to improve outcomes. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in vitamins and minerals, are common both before and after bariatric surgery, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues for better patient outcomes. Adequate attention to nutritional aspects, such as absorptive area length and percentage of weight loss, is crucial during the postoperative period.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
