The participants' narratives describe the inner perspective of caring for undernourished patients, known in Sweden as 'the thin ones'. Categories identified were: frustration in nursing, joy in nursing and that undernourishment is...

BACKGROUND A number of different pathways to obesity with different metabolic outcomes are recognised. Prenatal undernutrition in rats leads to increased fat deposition in adulthood. However, the form of obesity is metabolically distinct from obesity induced through other pathways (e.g. diet-induced obesity). Previous rat studies have shown that maternal undernutrition during pregnancy led to i...

MALNUTRITION is still widely prevalent in children in many underdeveloped countries of the world, and a certain number show manifestations of vitamin A deficiency. Electroretinography in cases of vitamin A deficiency in children and adults has been extensively studied by Dhanda (1952-1956). As vitamin A deficiency occurs mainly in children with severe malnutrition, it was considered desirable t...

We previously demonstrated that fetuses from undernourished pregnant rats exhibited increased beta cell mass and hyperinsulinemia, whereas keeping food restriction until adult age caused reduced beta cell mass, hypoinsulinemia and decreased insulin secretion. As these alterations can be related to insulin availability, we have now investigated early and long-term effects of protein calorie food...

Background and Purpose—Previous studies suggest that undernourished patients with acute stroke do badly. The data, however, are not robust. We aimed to reliably assess the importance of baseline nutritional status as an independent predictor of long-term outcome after stroke in a large prospective cohort enrolled in the Feed Or Ordinary Diet (FOOD) trial, a multicenter randomized trial evaluati...
