Background And Aims: Medical oncology inpatients are at a very high risk of malnutrition, and the presence of complications associated with malnutrition is significant in their evolution. It is necessary to have adequate tools in the diagnosis of malnutrition.
Objectives: This study is aimed to assess the nutritional status of cancer inpatients and compare the incidence of complications based on the nutritional diagnosis with different tools.

Introduction: Nutritional support in patients with COVID19 can influence the mean stay and complications in the patient in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Aims: To evaluate the selection of enteral nutritional treatment in the COVID-19 patient admitted to the ICU. To know the development of dysphagia and its treatment.
Objective: To evaluate metabolic control and satisfaction with a telemedicine diabetes education programme for the initiation of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) in type 1 diabetes.
Material And Methods: Prospective study in 48 patients (52.1% women, 22.

Introduction: Hyponatremia is the most prevalent electrolyte disorder in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Despite this frequency, hyponatremia, including severe hyponatremia, is frequently underestimated and inadequately treated, thus highlighting the need to produce consensus documents and clinical practice guidelines geared towards improving the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to it in a structured fashion.
Material And Methods: Members of the Acqua Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) met using a networking methodology over a period of 20 months (between October 2019 and August 2021) with the aim of discussing and developing an updated guideline for the management of hyponatraemia.
Introduction: hyponatremia is the most frequent disturbance in hospitalized patients. This situation may influence the therapeutic approach in patients with total enteral tube feeding (TEN). Objective: to study the prevalence of hyponatremia and the clinical factors that are associated with increased risk in a population with TEN.

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the quality of life and glycaemic control parameters after initiating FGM in patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1) in clinical practice.
Material And Methods: A prospective observational study in DM1 patients that started using FGM between June 2019 and April 2020.
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.

Introduction: In the hospitalized patient, Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) may result in a worse nutritional status due to its pathophysiology and dietary treatment.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to know if a hospitalized diabetic patient has a worse nutritional status, and to establish the influence of DM2 on the hospital length of stay in patients with malnutrition.
Material And Methods: This was a transveral study from January 2014 to October 2016; 1017 patients were included who were assessed by the Endocrinology and Nutrition Department.
Aims:to analyze the effects of the rs2419621 genetic variant of the ACSL5 gene on weight change and metabolic parameters after a partial meal-replacement hypocaloric diet. Methods: this was a non-randomized, single-treatment study with a formula-diet in 44 obese subjects with body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 kg/m2. Patients received nutritional education and a modified diet with two intakes of a normocaloric hyperproteic formula during 3 months.

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of a hypocaloric diet in postmenopausal obese women and to determine the influence of weight reduction on bone metabolism.
Methods: This was a non-randomised, single-treatment study in 96 postmenopausal women with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35kg/m and osteoarthritis.
Background & Aims: Hyponatremia is frequent in hospitalized patients, especially in those receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Furthermore, the presence of hyponatremia is associated with increased morbimortality in both groups. The goal of this study is to describe the prevalence of hyponatremia developing during TPN in non-critical patients, and identify risk factors for its appearance.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of a meal-replacement diet on weight loss, body composition, and the improvement of the quality of life in obese women with knee osteoarthritis pending surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study were to understand the influence of a multidisciplinary care protocol in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on the change in the delay of remission to the nutrition specialist and the initial nutritional status.
Methods: A cohort study was performed in 43 patients with ALS who were referred to the Nutrition Unit between April 2015 and April 2017. Anthropometric parameters and diagnostic times were collected, and the nutritional status was studied through subjective global assessment (SGA).
Medical treatment of meningiomas is reserved for cases in which surgery and radiotherapy have failed. Given that a high percentage of meningiomas express somatostatin receptors, treatment with somatostatin analogues has been proposed. In addition, these medications have been shown to have an antiproliferative and antiangiogenic effect in vitro.
