[Nutritional Therapy in the Elderly - What Do We Know Today?].

Nutritional Therapy in the Elderly - What Do We Know Today? Malnutrition in the elderly has a high prevalence and is a strong and independent risk factor for complications and high mortality. Early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention have demonstrated positive effects on the risk for complications and morbidity/mortality. The nutritional therapy should be individually tailored to meet patients' needs and nutritional goals.

Optimization of nutrition during allogeneic hematologic stem cell transplantation.

Purpose Of Review: Malnutrition before and during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Yet, optimal use of nutritional support to improve outcomes remains controversial. Our aim was to do an up-to-date literature review regarding nutritional therapy in allogeneic HSCT, the neutropenic diet and the use of immunonutrients.
