Predictors of Third-Party Tested Nutritional Supplementation Use Among DI and DIII Student-Athletes at A Northeast University.

Nutritional supplements (NS) are linked to adverse events and unintentional doping among college-athletes. The use of third-party tested (TPT) NS can increase safety and reduce the risk of inadvertent consumption of banned substances. The purpose of this study was to examine self-reported use of TPT supplements between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I (DI) and Division III (DIII) college-athletes and explore the potential predictors of TPT use.

Potential Determinants of Subjective Global Assessment Among Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis.

Objective: The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) is a validated tool for identifying nutritional status in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), but it is not without limitations. Current research identifies additional clinical characteristics such as phase angle (PhA) associated with SGA. This study aimed to assess the overall correlation between PhA and SGA; associations between PhA and SGA by body mass index, and to identify clinical characteristics associated with SGA.

Knowledge and clinical practice of ASPEN registered dietitian nutritionist members regarding blenderized tube feedings.

Background: Blenderized tube feedings (BTFs) are used by patients/caregivers who report improvements in gastrointestinal tolerance compared with standard commercial feedings. Despite positive outcomes, registered dietitian nutritionists or international equivalents (RDN/Is) hesitate to recommend BTFs. We aimed to determine if an association exists between dietitian characteristics and willingness to recommend BTFs.

Dentition and weight status in community-dwelling older adults.

Background/objective: Tooth loss is common among older adults and can affect dietary intake and weight status. This study investigated associations between dentition status and body mass index (BMI) in older adults.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of data from a convenience sample of older adults (65-89 years) treated at an urban U.

Treatment of refractory shock with vitamin B : A narrative review.

High-dose vitamin B is a potential treatment for patients with vasodilatory shock that is refractory to other therapies. Vasodilatory shock is characterized by low blood pressure and low systemic vascular resistance. Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, two potential targets of high-dose vitamin B given as hydroxocobalamin, facilitate this syndrome.
