Background And Aims: Parenteral nutrition (PN) composition could play a role in the management of systemic inflammatory response and intestinal barrier disruption. We aimed to evaluate changes in biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative status and intestinal permeability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received different PN lipid formulas.
Methods: This was a prospective study, including 94 patients with T2DM who received omega (n)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-enriched PN, a mixture of medium and long chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) PN, or an olive oil-based PN.
The concept of "disease related malnutrition" (DRM) is far from the concept of malnutrition classically diagnosed in public health, which is determined by socio-demographic factors. In 2008, the Spanish Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (SENPE) and the Spanish Society of Medical Documentation (SEDOM) published a consensus defining more precisely the types of malnutrition seen in hospitals and their corresponding coding. Changes in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the evolution of clinical information have made it necessary to revise and update this consensus in order to establish new criteria to guide the recording and coding of diagnoses of malnutrition in the field of hospital care, thus facilitating the work of both clinicians and coders and improving the visibility of DRE, by adapting from the clinical diagnoses of undernutrition based on the GLIM criteria (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) proposed by the scientific societies to the current codes proposed by ICD-10-ES.

Background: Malnutrition is a recurring problem that has become more relevant in recent years. The aim of this study is to assess the risk of malnutrition and nutritional status on admission and its evolution until discharge in patients aged 65 and over admitted to medical and surgical hospitalization units in hospitals of the Spanish National Health System.
Methods: Prospective observational study to be carried out in the medical-surgical hospitalization units of 9 public hospitals between 01/09/2022 and 31/12/2024.
Background: In patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN), the frequency of hyponatraemia is high. However, the causes of hyponatraemia in TPN have not been elucidated, although diagnosis is required for appropriate therapy. The aim of this study is to describe the aetiology of hyponatraemia in non-critical hospitalised patients receiving TPN.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required its implementation in routine practice. For this reason, a group of endocrinologists from Valencia, Murcia and the Balearic Islands created a committee for its development.
