Nutritional screening and assessment should be a standard of care for all patients because nutritional management plays an important role in clinical practice. However, there is no gold standard for the diagnosis of malnutrition or undernutrition, although a large number of nutritional screening and assessment tools have been developed. Nutritional screening and assessment tools are classified ...

Postnatal growth retardation is inevitable in preterm infants, the more immature the infant the greater the degree of postnatal growth retardation at hospital discharge. After hospital discharge, several studies have shown that growth is poorer in preterm infants fed a standard term formula than those fed a nutrient-enriched infant formula. This is not surprising because term formulas are desig...

Patients who become critically ill can have problems maintaining nutritional intake and it can be challenging for nurses to provide nutritional support. No one assessment method can identify each patient's risk of malnutrition, so nurses need to look at different aspects in their nutritional assessment and refer for specialist help from dietitians and nutrition support teams when needed. This a...

Background and Objectives: Pollution of the environment has become one of the very serious problems in the world. Factors contributing to these problems are both natural causes and man created activities. As livestock production intensifies, air, water and soil pollution becomes a problem. Utilization of feedstuffs especially by young pigs is influenced by the presence of anti-nutritional facto...

In order to evaluate eight different protein sources in honey bee nutrition, some experiments were conducted as a completely randomized designs with four replicates and three steps incubator, field and overwintering in Isfahan region. Protein sources were lentil flour, soybean flour, soybean meal, bread yeast, wheat gluten, skim milk powder, fish meal and Pollen. Results showed that the longevi...

32 Background and aim: Fortified human milk may not meet all nutritional needs of very 33 preterm infants. Early transition from complementary parenteral nutrition to full enteral feeds 34 might further impair in-hospital growth. We aimed to investigate the impact of the cumulative 35 intake of fortified human milk on early postnatal growth in a cohort of very low birth weight 36 infants after ...

Only recently, however, have studies provided evidence of an association between poor nutritional status and prolonged hospital stay, decreased quality of life, and increased mo...
