Nutrition education provided to patients on hemodialysis (HD) is important for improving nutritional status. This study investigated the effects of nutrition education on handgrip strength (HGS) of patients on HD. The study was a prospective self-controlled analysis of 29 patients on HD. The patients' measurements, HGS, and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scores were examined. The HGS values and MNA scores measured in the first and third months after nutrition education were higher than those measured before nutrition education. The study showed that effective nutrition education may play an important role in improving HGS values of elderly patients on HD.

The stages of change construct from the transtheoretical model has been applied to a wide variety of health-related behaviors including nutrition interventions. However, there is limited literature regarding how this construct is being applied in nutrition counseling. The purpose of this study was to survey nutrition professionals on their knowledge and use of the stages of change construct. Most participants are assessing this construct in practice. Use is dependent upon the practice setting and the patient population. Positively, most nutrition professionals would be willing to learn more about and/or use a validated tool to assess this construct in practice.

The study aimed to examine whether registered dietitians' (RDs') practice areas were associated with their confidence regarding integrative medicine (IM) modalities. An online survey was completed by 5164 members of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Post hoc analyses revealed that when compared with other practice areas, RDs practicing within IM reported the highest self-rated confidence when recommending high-quality supplements (84.2%, P < .01), disease-specific supplements (73.7%, P < .001), herbal supplements (73.7%, P < .001), and functional foods (84.2%, P < .001). RDs who utilize IM are most confident incorporating IM modalities into their practice, while those employed in other practice areas are significantly less confident.

A virtual Nutrition Care Process (NCP) workshop was delivered to 11 nutrition professionals in Mexico. Knowledge was evaluated with an NCP pre-/posttest, focus groups were conducted to gain deeper understanding of the workshop experience, and patient notes (n = 79) were assessed for quality as a measure of NCP implementation. Mean knowledge scores increased after the workshop from 73.5% to 83.6% (P = .003). The focus group elucidated facilitators/barriers of NCP resources. Most patient notes were graded “low quality.” Although the online delivery was a viable method to provide NCP education to a global audience, application of knowledge was not demonstrated, indicating the need for follow-up support.

In this study, we aimed to systematically review the studies that investigated the effect of resveratrol in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A systematic search of different databases was conducted until June 2021 and a meta-analysis was completed. Six trials involving 232 participants were included. The meta-analysis results showed that serum triglycerides (P = .04), interleukin-6 (P = .01), tumor necrosis factor-α (P = .02), and systolic blood pressure (P = .04) levels were decreased significantly in the resveratrol group compared with the placebo group, while other parameters were not changed significantly. Although resveratrol might attenuate NAFLD development, more high-quality trials are required in this field.

This study explored registered dietitian nutritionists' (RDNs') work-life interface. A thematic analysis was conducted on survey responses from a national sample of RDNs (N = 1118). Three themes describe RDNs' work-life interface: motivators, adaptations and flexibility, and the price and rewards of work-life interface decisions. RDNs primarily identified their nonwork/family life as their priority. They discussed strategies used to adapt their work/career to create a workable lifestyle. RDNs also reflected on the price and rewards of their work-life interface decisions. Understanding motivations and managing the work-life interface may help amplify the contribution RDNs can make and retain practitioners in the workforce.

This study aimed to describe the occurrence of feeding intolerance (FI) in adult patients given enteral nutrition (EN) during the first week after liver transplant and investigate the risk factors of FI. A total of 320 adult patients were enrolled and the incidence of FI was 50.3%. There are 5 independent risk factors for FI in these patients: average EN infusion rate, length of time to initiate EN, use of mechanical ventilation, use of sedatives or analgesics, and intraoperative fluid balance. Appropriate EN regimens and clinical treatments should be taken into consideration to prevent FI for these patients.

This cross-sectional study assessed the association between dietary diversity score and risk of growth failure among 605 Iranian children aged 7 to 12 years. Dietary intake was evaluated by a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire and dietary diversity score was calculated for each participant. Weight and height of children were measured and anthropometric indices including underweight, stunting, and thinness were assessed. The probability of having underweight (P for trend = .001) and stunting (P for trend <.0001) reduced with enhancing quartile of dietary diversity score. The highly varied diets may be useful in preventing growth failure in children.

The promotion of healthy habits is thought to be an important element in the role of health care professionals (HCPs). The aim of this study was to analyze eating habits and culinary skills of HCPs, and how they transfer those skills during clinical practice. A total of 95 HCPs participated in a cross-sectional descriptive question-based survey, which assessed HCPs' eating habits, culinary skills, and promotion of habits. HCPs who received previous training in nutrition had better eating habits and generally promoted healthy eating to patients.
