Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary liver cancer that usually develops in the background of liver cirrhosis. Liver damage and cirrhosis are often undiagnosed until patients present with symptoms of decompensation. For many patients, the development of ascites can be the first sign of their liver disease. Once patients develop ascites the symptom burden is often debilitating, affecting every aspect of their life. There are many treatment options to manage ascites, avoid emergency admissions for patients and improve quality of life. This article outlines a nurse-led ascites management pathway that is patient-focused, adopting a multidisciplinary team approach with advanced care planning, in a specialist hepatology unit.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profoundly negative impact on the general public's mental health. The crucial role of diet and nutrition in various aspects of mental wellbeing is now widely recognised. People in confinement or isolation may experience heightened tension, anger, panic attacks and anxiety. Psychosocial pressures, including interpersonal loss and social rejection, cause changes in mind–body interactions. An individual's physical health influences their physiological reaction (in terms of psychological stress) in COVID-19-afflicted patients. There is a growing body of research on the phenomenon termed the microbiome and the brain. According to preclinical data, this axis is essential for controlling both brain activity and behaviour. Given the strong connection between our dietary choices and our mental state, this review explores the relationship between diet and mental health. It also considers how food and the use of psychobiotics can alleviate psychological distress caused by stress, anxiety and depression, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Short bowel syndrome (SBS), also referred to as intestinal failure, is characterised by inadequate nutrient absorption due to a reduced small intestine, resulting in the inability to maintain nutritional status through oral intake alone. This condition poses a significant financial burden on the NHS, as many patients require lifelong parental nutrition (PN) to sustain their nutritional stability. The reported mortality rates range from 30–50%, emphasising the importance of supporting and enhancing bowel function and nutrient absorption. After two years of PN, the probability of irreversible intestinal failure reaches 94%, underscoring the critical need for prompt and appropriate treatment. Given its rarity, SBS remains poorly understood by many clinicians, making education of the wider healthcare community essential for timely diagnosis and treatment.
短肠综合症(SBS)又称肠功能衰竭,其特点是小肠功能减退导致营养吸收不足,从而无法仅靠口服维持营养状况。这种疾病给国家医疗服务体系带来了巨大的经济负担,因为许多患者需要终生服用父母营养剂(PN)来维持营养稳定。据报道,死亡率在 30-50% 之间,这强调了支持和增强肠道功能及营养吸收的重要性。经过两年的 PN 治疗后,出现不可逆转的肠功能衰竭的概率高达 94%,这就强调了及时进行适当治疗的重要性。鉴于 SBS 的罕见性,许多临床医生对其仍然知之甚少,因此对更广泛的医疗群体进行教育对于及时诊断和治疗至关重要。
