Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of early nutritional assessment and nutritional intervention on outcomes of older adult patients after discharge from an acute care hospital following fall related fracture.
Methods: This was a feasibility pilot study with post intervention data. One group pretest-posttest study design was implemented. All participants were admitted to a rehabilitation facility in the Southwestern US after a fall related fracture.
Measures: Discharge destination, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and length of stay (LOS).
Results: A total of 69% of the participants were discharged home. Total FIM scores improved (p<0.01). No significant association was identified between prealbumin change and total FIM change. Patients who had improved prealbumin experienced improved FIM and shorter LOS; however, no significant correlations were determined between LOS and prealbumin change.
Conclusion: Nutritional interventions are important for recovery during rehabilitation of a fall-related fracture.
Summary: This project supports early nutritional evaluation and intervention for older adult patients after major orthopedic procedure. Participants who received early intervention had improved outcomes. (194 characters).

Background: Infant formulas are the primary source of nutrition for infants and babies when breastfeeding is unavailable, as they are enriched with a variety of macro- and micronutrients to improve their nutritional value and satisfy the different needs of babies. Recently, there has been a rising concern about toxic metal levels in infant formulas, as highlighted by various studies. However, there are currently no sufficient studies focusing on toxic metal levels of infant formulas in Jordan.

With development of modern food industry, plant-based milk products are widely used to replace dairy products to cook different kinds of food. Due to different origins, it is necessary to assess the nutrition difference between dairy and plant-based milk products. Phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids, as the important nutrients in cream and butter, were closely related to body development and health.

Background: A growing body of research has focused on inflammation as both a potential biomarker and a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders and in the physiological homeostasis of neural tissue. AD has been associated with increased IL-6 expression in brain, however, increased levels of IL-6 have also been linked to conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has greatly improved pesticide effectiveness and control efficiency; however, the risk of inhalation exposure to pesticides caused by spray drift requires urgent attention. This study is the first to investigate residue distribution and inhalation exposure risk of airborne prothioconazole and its metabolite prothioconazole-desthio during UAV application. The maximum detected unit exposure of prothioconazole and prothioconazole-desthio in airborne particulate matter was 0.
