tric VAT and FM in CRC patients when using volumetric CT as a reference method. Due to the poor performance of anthropometric measurements we recommend exploring the added value of advanced body composition by DXA and CT integrated into CRC care.

DXA and the combined use of three CT slices (L2-L4) are valid to predict abdominal volumetric VAT and FM in CRC patients when using volumetric CT as a reference method. Due to the poor performance of anthropometric measurements we recommend exploring the added value of advanced body composition by DXA and CT integrated into CRC care.

Inadequate nutrition delivery in critically ill children has shown associated with poor clinical outcomes. Therefore, identifying barriers to deliver adequate nutrition is vital. The aim of this study was to identify factors influencing adequate protein and energy delivery among critically ill children with heart disease in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

This single-centre prospective study, involved children aged from birth to 3 years old, admitted to PICU longer than 72hours. They received either enteral nutrition (EN) or combination of EN and partial parenteral nutrition (PPN). Clinical and nutrition delivery characteristics were recorded from admission until transferred out of PICU. Multiple regression analysis at significant level p<0.05 were used to identify independent risk factors for lower protein and energy intake.

One hundred and thirty-nine patients were included in this study with median age 6.5 (1.8-20.6) months and median PICU length of stay of 6 (4-7) days. The median energy an in critically ill children with heart disease in PICU. Strategies to improve the nutrition delivery in this group of patients should be outlined and implemented by the dietitians along with multidisciplinary team.

Some critically ill patients are at high nutritional risk, and early identification of these patients is needed to reduce morbidity and mortality related to underfeeding. The Modified NUTrition Risk in Critically ill (mNUTRIC) score is the first nutritional risk assessment tool developed and validated specifically for ICU patients. This study aims to translate and adapt the Modified NUTRIC (mNUTRIC) Score into Persian to facilitate use in Iranian Intensive Care Units and assess its efficiency in a pilot sample.

The translation process followed standardized steps initial translation, synthesis of translations, back -translation to the English language, revision and cultural adaptation of the tool by language specialist and expert committee. A pilot study was conducted on the application of the tool in 46 critically ill patients from three ICUs in Iran hospitals.

The translation and adaptation process generated a feasible version of the mNUTRIC Score in the Persian language.The translated version was easily introduced into Iranian ICUs. The prevalence of patients with a mNUTRIC score of five or more was 43% (n=46).

Translation of mNUTRIC Score from English into Persian, following internationally accepted methodology, has provided the ICU care in Iran with a comprehensive and useful instrument.

Some observational studies investigated the association between dietary energy density (DED) and risk of cancers with inconstant results. In addition, there is no study on such association among patients with prostate cancer (PC). The present study was performed to evaluate the association between dietary energy density (DED) and PC risk.

In this case-control study, one hundred and twenty-five participants were enrolled (62 cases and 63 controls). Dietary intakes were assessed using 160-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. In addition, demographic characteristics were collected using a general questionnaire and anthropometric indices were measured based on the available guidelines. The association between DED and PC risk was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression.

The results showed that higher DED score was associated with increased risk of PC (OR=2.59; 95% CI= (1.24-5.40)). Interestingly, after adjusting for potential confounders ((smoking, physical activity, energy intake, education, ethnicity, job, anti-hyperlipidemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, and aspirin) the results remained significant (OR=2.87; 95% CI= (1.17-7.05)).

Our findings suggest that DED may increase the risk of PC. However, more prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results.

To estimate the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition in people admitted for a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and to assess the relationship between malnutrition and DFU severity and outcome.

This prospective, observational cohort study included individuals consecutively admitted for a DFU between July 2016 and September 2019. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria determined the prevalence of malnutrition. The SINBAD score reflected DFU severity. Outcome was evaluated at discharge and at 6 months. The independent contribution of nutritional status on DFU severity and outcome was investigated using logistic regression analysis.

A total of 110 patients were included. selleckchem Malnutrition, as defined by the GLIM criteria, was diagnosed in 26 cases; malnutrition was moderate in 9 and severe in 17. DFU severity differed significantly between subjects with malnutrition versus without malnutrition (SINBAD 3.85 vs. 3.81, p=0.012). Logistic regression analysis showed that severe malnutrition (p=0.015) and hemoglobin level (p=0.003) were independently linked to DFU severity. At 6-month follow-up, 39 DFU were healed, 36 patients had undergone an amputation (32 minor, 4 major) and 8 had died. No differences were noted in outcome at discharge or at 6 months according to nutritional status.

In 24% of patients, malnutrition was diagnosed. Severely malnourished individuals presented with more severe ulcers. However, malnutrition had no impact on the short-term outcome of a DFU.
