Nutrition education for nursing students: A scoping review.

Introduction: Nutritional care has long been recognized as a vital component of nursing. However, nutrition instruction faces many challenges in nursing education, and few studies have investigated this topic.

Aim: The study's aim was to investigate how nutrition education has been conducted in undergraduate nursing education.

Home Care Nurses' Experiences of the Use and Introduction of the Subacute Functional Decline in the Elderly Instrument.

Introduction: Registered nurses are crucial in home care nursing for elderly patients, as detecting geriatric conditions can be difficult due to age-related changes or communication barriers. Disability is often overlooked in elderly care, requiring different assessment tools to determine patient status and necessary nursing interventions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the subacute functional decline in the elderly (SAFE) instrument was implemented in some Oslo districts to detect early signs of sub acute functional decline in hospital and home care settings.

Experiences and challenges of the use Subacute and Acute Dysfunction in the Elderly-SAFE Work team coordinators experiences and challenges in the introduction and use of SAFE of in home-based nursing: A qualitative study from the Norwegian context.

Unlabelled: Old age is the leading cause of impaired bodily function, which gradually increases healthcare service needs. To offer the best possible care in the home and to be able to detect health-related functional impairment at an early stage, it is necessary to carry out systematic and structured observations. The assessment tool Subacute and Acute Dysfunction in the Elderly (SAFE) has been developed explicitly for these structured observations.

Alterations in inflammatory biomarkers and energy intake in cancer cachexia: a prospective study in patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer.

Chronic systemic inflammatory response is proposed as an underlying mechanism for development of cancer cachexia. We conducted a prospective study to examine changes in inflammatory biomarkers during the disease course and the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and cachexia in patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Twenty patients, median (range) age 67.

Comparing two classifications of cancer cachexia and their association with survival in patients with unresected pancreatic cancer.

There is no universally accepted definition of cancer cachexia. Two classifications have been proposed; the 3-factor classification requiring ≥ 2 of 3 factors; weight loss ≥ 10%, food intake ≤ 1500 kcal/day, and C-reactive protein ≥ 10 mg/l, and the consensus classification requiring weight loss >5% the past 6 mo, or body mass index <20 kg/m(2) or sarcopenia, both with ongoing weight loss >2%. Precachexia is the initial stage of the cachexia trajectory, identified by weight loss ≤ 5%, anorexia and metabolic change.

Substitution of TAG oil with diacylglycerol oil in food items improves the predicted 10 years cardiovascular risk score in healthy, overweight subjects.

Dietary fat is normally in TAG form, but diacylglycerol (DAG) is a natural component of edible oils. Studies have shown that consumption of DAG results in metabolic characteristics that are distinct from those of TAG, which may be beneficial in preventing and managing obesity. The objective of the present study was to investigate if food items in which part of the TAG oil is replaced with DAG oil combined with high α-linolenic acid (ALA) content would influence metabolic markers.
