The effect of oral dietary interventions on nutritional status and treatment tolerance in patients with hematologic neoplasms receiving chemotherapy: a systematic review.

Context: Adverse events from chemotherapy treatment affect food intake, nutritional status, and treatment tolerance in cancer patients. However, the effect of nutritional intervention in patients with hematologic neoplasms receiving chemotherapy remains unknown.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence on nutritional interventions on nutritional status, treatment tolerance, inflammatory markers, quality of life, and mortality in patients with hematologic neoplasms receiving chemotherapy.

Ultra-processed food intake is associated with children and adolescents with congenital heart disease clustered by high cardiovascular risk factors.

The excessive intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk. However, the effect of UPF intake on cardiovascular health in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) is unknown. The aim of the present study was to describe UPF intake and evaluate associations with isolated cardiovascular risk factors and children and adolescents with CHD clustered by cardiovascular risk factors.

Empirically derived dietary patterns through latent profile analysis among Brazilian children and adolescents from Southern Brazil, 2013-2015.

The aims of this study were to identify dietary patterns (DPs) of children and adolescents participating in three cross-sectional surveys (2013-2015) and to test their associations with sociodemographic variables, physical activity (PAS), screen-based sedentary activity (SA), and weight status. One-day data were obtained from 5,364 schoolchildren (7-12 years) from public schools of Florianopolis (South of Brazil), using the validated questionnaire Web-CAAFE (Food Intake and Physical Activity of Schoolchildren). DPs were derived from the frequency of daily consumption of 32 foods/beverages by latent profile analysis.

An Update on the Biological Activities of Euterpe edulis (Juçara).

The palm tree , known as juçara, produces spherical and purple fruits, similar to those of the and palm trees, from which the common name açaí originates. Juçara fruit has been gaining prominence in the scientific world for its interesting nutritional composition, which is rich in antioxidants, and for its sustainable production model. Recently, relevant biological activities have been associated with the juçara fruit, and its use in alimentation has become an important nutritional, environmental, and economic alternative.

Changes in Dietary Patterns from Childhood to Adolescence and Associated Body Adiposity Status.

The aims of this study were to identify cross-sectional dietary patterns (DPs) in a representative sample of 7-10-year-old schoolchildren, to examine how scores for these DPs tracked over a time period of five years (from age 7-10 years to 12-15 years), and to investigate longitudinal associations between changes in DPs scores and changes in BMI (Body Mass Index) z-scores. Children aged 7-10-years were examined in 2007 ( = 1158) and a subset of the sample participated in a follow-up in 2012 ( = 458). Factor analysis (FA) was applied to derive DPs at baseline.

EVALUATION OF DIET ACCEPTANCE BY PATIENTS WITH HAEMATOLOGICAL CANCER DURING CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT.

Introduction: a compromised nutritional status is one of the factors that may increase the morbidity and mortality of chemotherapy patients. The goal of this study was to evaluate acceptance of the diet by patients with haematological cancer throughout their hospital stay for chemotherapeutic treatment.

Method: this was a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study, carried out from February to October 2014 in adult patients of both genders diagnosed with lymphoma and leukaemia.

Brazilian healthy eating index revised (BHEI-R) of women before and during adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.

Introduction: Different therapeutic modalities for cancer trigger side effects that affect the selection of food by changing dietary patterns.

Aims: To evaluate changes in the diet quality of women in adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.

Methods: Sociodemographic, clinical and anthropometric data of 78 women were collected.
