The paper presents the results of postoperative studies in 82 patients with major soft tissue phlegmons of the extremities and torso. The basic aspect of the studies concerned the correction of protein-calorie deficiency on the basis of additional nutrition through sipping of hypercaloric formula "Nutridrink" and the standard enteral formula "Nutrisone dry powder", which were given to in 29 and 20 patients, respectively, on postoperative day 1 for 3 weeks. A control group comprised 33 patients who received only diet 1. The findings have indicated that sipping of the enteral formula substantially reduces the catabolic pattern in the patients and facilitates a rapider recovery of the visceral protein pool.

Background: Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) is used to prevent or correct malnutrition in outpatients. Due to the complexity of this process, the indication, follow-up, and results of an educational program of HEN patients was evaluated.
Methods: A prospective, observational, real-life, multicenter study was performed in 21 Spanish Hospital.

Introduction: Chronic heart failure (CHF) patients are often malnourished. Our aim was to determine the effect of protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) on in-hospital outcomes in CHF patients following elective cardiac surgery and to identify risk factors for PCM in this patient population.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was conducted from 2016 to 2018.
Role of muscle-targeted nutritional therapy: new data.
Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care

Purpose Of Review: To provide an updated overview of recent efficacy data on the use of muscle-targeted nutritional therapy, which should consider the optimization of protein and essential amino acids intakes, possibly in combination with supplementation with vitamin D (correction of deficiency/insufficiency status) and v-3 fatty acids.
Recent Findings: Intervention studies conducted in the last years in different healthcare settings and heterogeneous patient populations support the use of muscle-targeted oral nutritional supplementation to improve muscle mass, function and physical performance in patients with sarcopenia. Higher efficacy is likely to be achieved in combination with individually tailored resistance exercise training programs and when nutritional therapy and the provision of specific nutrients result in an adequate protein-calorie balance.

BACKGROUND Lipedema is a common condition that presents as excessive fat deposition in the extremities, initially sparing the trunk, ankles, and feet, and is found mainly in women, usually occurring after puberty or pregnancy. Lipedema can progress to include lipo-lymphedema of the ankles and feet. This report is of a 41-year old woman with Stage 3 lipedema and lipo-lymphedema with excessive fat of the lower body since puberty, with progression to swollen ankles and feet despite dietary caloric restriction.
