Article Synopsis
- User-friendly assessment tools for malnutrition are essential, and this study focused on a personalized nutrition intervention using a new oral nutritional supplement and AI technology to track outcomes in malnourished patients.
- The study included 65 patients and showed significant improvements over three months, with weight loss decreasing, and a drop in the prevalence of malnutrition and severe malnutrition.
- Additionally, older patients experienced gains in muscle thickness, strength, and function, indicating that tailored interventions can effectively enhance nutrition and combat malnutrition in patients with disease-related issues.
Article Synopsis
- ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with high rates of malnutrition, which can affect patient outcomes; this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle ultrasonography in identifying malnutrition and predicting prognosis in ALS patients.
- The study analyzed 37 ALS patients using various methods to assess nutritional status, including anthropometric measurements and electrical bioimpedance analysis, alongside muscle ultrasonography of the quadriceps to evaluate both muscle mass and quality.
- Results found that nearly 46% of patients were malnourished according to established criteria, with significant correlations between muscle mass measured by ultrasound and various markers of body composition, indicating the potential usefulness of muscle ultrasonography in ALS management.
Background: Progression diets after bariatric surgery (BS) are restricted in calories and protein, and they may induce a worsening of body composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a modified diet with an oral nutritional supplement that is hyperproteic and normocaloric over the body composition.
Methods: A two-arm ambispective observational cohort study was designed.
