[Weight, nutrition, quality of life-Perspective of oncological patients].

Nutrition is associated with pleasure and quality of life. The majority of oncological patients experience tumor-associated and treatment-associated nutrition-related symptoms and malnutrition. Consequently, the perception of nutrition during the course of the disease is increasingly more characterized by negative associations, which may persist for years after the end of treatment.

Tuberculosis and malnutrition: The European perspective.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious cause of death worldwide, despite ongoing efforts to limit its incidence and mortality. Although the European Region has made gains in TB incidence and mortality, it now contends with increasing numbers of multidrug- and rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB). Malnutrition is a major contributor to the burden of TB and may also be directly caused or enhanced by the onset of TB.
