Efficiency of a technology-assisted nutritional screening system: A retrospective analysis of 11,722 admissions in a tertiary hospital.

Background And Aim: Nutritional screening is essential for addressing malnutrition and its consequences. However, routine implementation in large hospitals faces several challenges. To overcome these obstacles, the Clinical Nutrition Service of a tertiary hospital developed a technology-assisted nutritional screening system.

Pulmonary function and body composition parameters of children with cystic fibrosis from a hight complexity institution between 2015 and 2018.

Background: An adequate nutritional status in patients with cystic fibrosis correlates with higher survival and better pulmonary function. Body mass index (BMI) is an anthropometric indicator with independent association with pulmonary function, and it can hide alterations of nutritional status in cystic fibrosis.

Objective: To determine the relationship of lung function with BMI and body composition parameters in children with cystic fibrosis in a Hight Complexity institution between 2015 and 2018.

Predictive equations are inaccurate to assess caloric needs in non-white adults from Chile.

Objectives: Predictive equations are frequently used to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) because indirect calorimetry (IC) is not always available and is expensive. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance between the estimation of REE using predictive equations and its measurement by IC.

Methods: This was an analysis of the registry of indirect calorimetry performed in non-hospitalized participants.

Effect of various calcium salts on non-heme iron bioavailability in fasted women of childbearing age.

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies are one of the most important public health issues worldwide and iron (Fe) deficiency anemia is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency. Iron deficiency often coexists with calcium deficiency and iron and calcium supplementation often overlap. This has led to investigations into the interaction between these two minerals, and whether calcium may inhibit iron absorption in the gut.
