Nutritional support is associated with improved clinical outcomes in critically ill patients; however, loss of muscle mass during critical illness leads to weakness, delayed return to work, and increased healthcare consumption. Animal data have suggested that intermittent feeding decreases protein catabolism. This study was aimed at determining whether the mode of enteral nutrition administration might lead to differences in meeting nutritional goals, tolerance, and complications.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with the development and/or progression of neurological deficits in patients with metastatic spinal disease.
Methods: A three-round Delphi study was conducted between January-May 2023 including AO Spine members, comprising mainly neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons.
Aims: To estimate physical activity (activity) duration required to lower glucose from above target range (>180 mg/dL) to within target range (TIR: 70-180 mg/dL) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Continuous glucose monitoring and activity data were collected from 404 adults (28-day observation) and 149 adolescents (10-day observation) with T1D. Activities (N = 1902) with a starting glucose between 181-300 mg/dL, duration 10-60 min, and no reported meals during activity were included in the analysis.
Background: We explore the association between hypoglycaemia fear (FH) and glycaemia during and after exercise sessions in a large sample of physically active youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: We used data from the Type 1 Diabetes Exercise Initiative Paediatric (T1DEXIP) Study. Youth self-reported on FH using the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey-Child (HFS-C).
Article Synopsis
- This study explored glucose level differences during and after exercise between men and women with type 1 diabetes over four weeks in a prospective observational design.
- It found that women had higher glucose levels than men at the start of both study and personal exercise sessions and had smaller declines in glucose during personal exercises.
- Overall, while female participants showed higher pre-exercise glucose levels and less decline during exercise, their food, exercise, and insulin habits were similar to those of male participants.
