Background And Aims: Although HEN and HPN are important parts of home healthcare, lack of information about the number of patients concerned is surprising. This educational paper presents a review of literature concerning published national data on epidemiology of both HEN and HPN, for different countries. It compares these publications with an exhaustive retrospective observational study on our national adult population for the year 2019.

Materials And Methods: All patients who underwent a one-day standardized evaluation before a urinary reconstructive or derivation surgery for the treatment of neurogenic LUT dysfunction between January 2017 and December 2021 in our institution were included. Data were collected retrospectively from standardized reports.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to highlight the benefits of nutrition before and during graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and the promising precision medicine approach that should be offered to prevent and mitigate GvHD.
Recent Findings: The intestinal damage induced by preconditioning/conditioning chemotherapies is the main trigger of GvHD. Impaired nutritional status and decreased plasma citrulline level, which is the most sensitive biomarker of intestinal barrier health, predict the occurrence of acute GvHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT).
