Systematic and random errors based on self-reported diet may bias estimates of dietary intake. The objective of this pilot study was to describe errors in self-reported dietary intake by comparing 24 h dietary recalls to provided menu items in a controlled feeding study. This feeding study was a parallel randomized block design consisting of a standard diet (STD; 15% protein, 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat) followed by either a high-fat (HF; 15% protein, 25% carbohydrate, 60% fat) or a high-carbohydrate (HC; 15% protein, 75% carbohydrate, 10% fat) diet. During the intervention, participants reported dietary intake in 24 h recalls. Participants included 12 males (seven HC, five HF) and 12 females (six HC, six HF). The Nutrition Data System for Research was utilized to quantify energy, macronutrients, and serving size of food groups. Statistical analyses assessed differences in 24 h dietary recalls vs. provided menu items, considering intervention type (STD vs. HF vs. HC) (Student's t-test). Caloric intake was consistent between self-reported intake and provided meals. Participants in the HF diet underreported energy-adjusted dietary fat and participants in the HC diet underreported energy-adjusted dietary carbohydrates. Energy-adjusted protein intake was overreported in each dietary intervention, specifically overreporting beef and poultry. Classifying misreported dietary components can lead to strategies to mitigate self-report errors for accurate dietary assessment.

Lifelong learning has been integral to advancement of the nutrition and dietetics profession and its practitioners. Both the United States (US) Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) advocate for continuous skill development and professional growth. Responding to evolving environmental trends and diverse practice perspectives, the CDR joined the Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education organization in 2020, and the CDR is transforming its own continuing professional education (CPE) requirements and prior-approval program. This paper presents a historical perspective and a current state narrative review, chronicling past and recent developments in nutrition and dietetics CPE in the US, including opportunities for reflective learning and interprofessional continuing education (IPCE). Also explored are the establishment and expansion of the Joint Accreditation organization and its standards, as well as applicable case examples. Additionally, this paper outlines the CDR and the Academy’s strategies for advancing inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) within the profession and identifies how CPE advancements may facilitate accessible and equitable CPE for an increasingly diverse membership of practitioners. Nutrition and dietetics professionals stand to benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of changes in CPE and the opportunities they may bring to the future of the profession.

Background: Researchers have established that the preterm neonate is born with an immature gastrointestinal tract. The preterm neonate is thus susceptible to various complications often seen in the neonatal intensive care unit, e.g., feeding intolerances, necrotizing enterocolitis, and hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. These complications can be life-threatening, and if survived, can have an unfavorable effect on the neonate’s growth and development. Aim: The aims of this narrative review article were to provide an in-depth understanding of the various factors contributing to the development of the preterm neonatal microbiome. Further, we reviewed gastrointestinal microbiome dysbiosis and its potential role in the development of feeding intolerances, necrotizing enterocolitis, and hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. Lastly, we described the potential role of probiotics in this vulnerable population. Methods: A PubMed database search was conducted identifying articles that describe the development and function of the neonatal microbiome, the role of gastrointestinal dysbiosis, and the development of neonatal complications as well as the role of probiotics in gastrointestinal dysbiosis. Results: Various maternal, neonatal, and environmental factors play a role in the development of gastrointestinal dysbiosis in the preterm neonate. This can lead to feeding intolerances, necrotizing enterocolitis, and hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. Discussion: The pathogenesis of the development of short-term complications in the preterm neonate can be linked to the immaturity of the host immune system as well as alterations seen in the intestinal microbiome. There is a growing body of evidence that probiotics can play a role in preventing dysbiosis and thus complications observed in the preterm neonate. However, the optimal combination of probiotic strains and dosage still needs to be identified.

Strenuous exercise can be associated with “Exercise Induced Gastrointestinal Syndrome” (Ex-GIS), a clinical condition characterized by a series of gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances that may impact the physical and psychological performance of athletes. The pathophysiology comprises multi-factorial interactions between the GI tract and the circulatory, immune, enteric, and central nervous systems. There is considerable evidence for increases in the indices of intestinal damage, permeability, and endotoxemia associated with impaired gastric emptying, slowing of small intestinal transit, and malabsorption of nutrients. Heat stress and racing mode seem to exacerbate these GI disturbances. GI symptomatology that derives from strenuous exercise is similar to that of IBS and other GI functional disorders defined in the Rome IV Criteria. To manage Ex-GIS, the exercise modality, state of dehydration, environmental temperature, concomitant therapies, and self-managed diet should be evaluated, and if risk elements are present, an attempt should be made to modify them. Multiple strategies can be successively adopted to manage Ex-GIS. Nutritional and behavioral interventions appear to be the principal ones to avoid symptoms during the exercise. The aim of this review will be to explore the pathophysiology, clinical aspect, and current literature on behavioral and nutritional strategies to manage Ex-GIS, regarding a gluten-free diet and low-fermentable oligo-, di-, and mono-saccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet.

In the German beverage market, a shift in consumption has become apparent in recent decades: away from alcoholic beverages and towards non-alcoholic alternatives. This indicates a tradeoff between two important and nutritionally relevant substances: alcohol and sugar. This review, therefore, addresses the question of the significance of these developments to the German wine industry, where non-alcoholic wines and sparkling wines are becoming increasingly important. The production of these products is accompanied by a reduction in alcohol content with a simultaneous increase in sugar. Furthermore, these products could also become the focus of health policy efforts when it comes to accusations of possible “alibi marketing”. Here, parallels with the handling of tobacco products become clear, while the tradeoff between alcohol and sugar recedes into the background.

The aim of this paper is to report on the differences in clinical and service engagement outcomes of patients attending the paediatric dietetic outpatient service at a major metropolitan hospital before the outbreak of the coronavirus (using face-to-face care) and during the pandemic (using telehealth). This paper also reports on learning lessons from the rapid implementation of telehealth in this service. This study collected pre- and post-coronavirus pandemic data from 44 paediatric patients. Data on outcomes pre- and post-implementation were analysed. There were no statistically significant differences between pre- and post-coronavirus data for growth (p = 0.92), adherence to dietetic recommendations (p = 0.08) or attendance rate (p = 1.00). This study also found a low uptake of virtual telehealth, technical issues and suboptimal anthropometric data collection associated with this modality of care. Telehealth was not associated with a change in clinical and service engagement outcomes. Thus, telehealth service delivery is not inferior to usual face–face dietetic care and has the potential to be a useful adjunct to usual nutrition care for paediatric health service users after the coronavirus pandemic.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. This disease often leads to poor health outcomes, such as neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcers, and increased risk for comorbidities such as cardiovascular complications and renal disease. Lifestyle modifications including diet and physical activity interventions are often explored as prevention and management strategies for T2DM. It is well established that fruits are a rich source of fiber and a variety of phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that can help optimize human health. Unfortunately, many experts associate the consumption of fruit with a moderate to high glycemic index (GI), which leads to a spike in blood glucose and eventually elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The purpose of this comprehensive review is to outline the current clinical literature on the relationship between fruit consumption and various indices of glucose metabolism. A variety of fruits have been clinically studied to determine this relationship, namely in the fresh form (e.g., berries, apples, watermelon, cherries, mangoes), dried fruits (raisins and dates), and juices (derived from cranberry, orange, grape, cherry, and pomegranate). Overall, intake of fruits and fruit-derived products is beneficial for healthy subjects and subjects with T2DM regarding their impact on glucose metabolism and other cardiometabolic markers (e.g., inflammatory responses, lipid profiles). Nonetheless, it is more advisable for diabetic patients to consume fresh or dried fruits rather than fruit-derived products. A special consideration needs to be attributed to both the amount of fruit intake with regards to their respective GI and glycemic load (GL), and when these fruits are consumed. Trials with more a comprehensive design and specific outcomes are required to reveal the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of fruit consumption on the T2DM population particularly.

Cocoa beverage and dark chocolate are important dietary sources of polyphenol and have been hypothesised to improve the lipid profile. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of cocoa beverage and dark chocolate intake on lipid profile in individuals living with normal and elevated LDL cholesterol. The question on whether cocoa beverage and chocolate differentially modify the lipid profile was also explored. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed and Cochrane Library on 26 February 2022 following the PRISMA guideline. Cocoa beverage and chocolate consumption had no significant effect on circulating concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (p > 0.05, all), but favourably and significantly increased circulating concentration of HDL cholesterol by 0.05 (95% CI [0.02, 0.09]) mmol/L (p = 0.002). Changes in lipid profile were similar when comparing populations with normal vs. elevated LDL cholesterol (p > 0.05, all). When considering the food matrix, cocoa beverage intake significantly increased HDL cholesterol by 0.11 (95% CI [0.06, 0.17]) mmol/L (p < 0.001), but the improvement in HDL cholesterol was not significant when chocolate (p = 0.10) or a combination of cocoa beverage and chocolate (p = 0.19) (subgroup differences, p = 0.03) was administered. Cocoa consumption could be recommended as part of a healthy diet in the general population with normal and elevated LDL cholesterol.

Aim: To evaluate the nutritional adequacy of the hospital haemodialysis menu, quantify the dietary intake of hospitalised haemodialysis patients and explore patient perceptions of the menu. Methods: The menu analysis compared the default menu to reference standards using a one sample t-test via SPSS. Eight hospitalised haemodialysis patients were purposively interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify the dominant themes. The participant’s actual dietary intake was calculated and compared to individual nutrients using evidence-based guidelines. Results: Compared to the reference standards, the default inpatient haemodialysis menu did not provide adequate energy (p < 0.001, mean = 8767 kJ/day ± 362), sodium (p < 0.001, mean = 72 mmol/day ± 9), potassium (p < 0.001, mean = 64 mmol/day ± 4), vitamin C (p ≤ 0.001, mean = 33 mg/day ± 10) and fibre (p < 0.001, mean = 26 g/day ± 3). Inadequate intake of energy and protein occurred in half of the participants. Passive acceptance of the menu, environmental and cultural considerations contributed to missed food opportunities impacting the patient experience and limited intake. Conclusions: The profile of the current default inpatient haemodialysis menu impacts the dietary intake and the experience of haemodialysis inpatients.

Lambert","doi":"10.3390/dietetics2030016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/dietetics2030016","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: To evaluate the nutritional adequacy of the hospital haemodialysis menu, quantify the dietary intake of hospitalised haemodialysis patients and explore patient perceptions of the menu. Methods: The menu analysis compared the default menu to reference standards using a one sample t-test via SPSS. Eight hospitalised haemodialysis patients were purposively interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify the dominant themes. The participant’s actual dietary intake was calculated and compared to individual nutrients using evidence-based guidelines. Results: Compared to the reference standards, the default inpatient haemodialysis menu did not provide adequate energy (p < 0.001, mean = 8767 kJ/day ± 362), sodium (p < 0.001, mean = 72 mmol/day ± 9), potassium (p < 0.001, mean = 64 mmol/day ± 4), vitamin C (p ≤ 0.001, mean = 33 mg/day ± 10) and fibre (p < 0.001, mean = 26 g/day ± 3). Inadequate intake of energy and protein occurred in half of the participants. Passive acceptance of the menu, environmental and cultural considerations contributed to missed food opportunities impacting the patient experience and limited intake. Conclusions: The profile of the current default inpatient haemodialysis menu impacts the dietary intake and the experience of haemodialysis inpatients. It is recommended that the default menu is optimised in line with evidence-based guidelines for inpatients.","PeriodicalId":72810,"journal":{"name":"Dietetics (Basel, Switzerland)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42525397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study shows the effect of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids via perilla oil intake on gut microbiota and constipation. Eight sedentary females participated in a nonrandomized placebo-controlled pilot study consisting of eight-week perilla oil (OIL) and placebo (PLA) intervention phases. There was a 10-month washout period between phases. All participants received 9 g of perilla oil-containing jelly in the OIL phase, and a placebo jelly in the PLA phase. Gut microbiota, α-diversity, and constipation scores were measured pre- and post-intervention in both phases. The α-diversity, an important indicator of gut microbiota diversity, was significantly increased post-intervention (4.5 ± 0.1) compared to pre-intervention (3.8 ± 0.3) in the OIL only (p = 0.021). Notably, the level of α-diversity was maintained even after the washout period of 10 months. Butyrate-producing bacteria, Lachnospiraceae (%), did not change in the OIL but were significantly reduced post-intervention (15.1 ± 4.8) compared to pre-intervention (20.1 ± 7.0) in the PLA (p = 0.040). In addition, the constipation scores were significantly or tended to be reduced during the OIL phase only (p < 0.05, p < 0.1). In conclusion, an eight-week perilla oil supplementation may enhance and establish the diversity of gut microbiota, which may relieve constipation.
这项研究表明，通过紫苏油摄入omega-3不饱和脂肪酸对肠道微生物群和便秘的影响。八名久坐不动的女性参加了一项非随机安慰剂对照先导研究，包括为期八周的紫苏油(oil)和安慰剂(PLA)干预阶段。两个阶段之间有10个月的洗脱期。所有参与者在OIL期服用9g紫苏油果冻，在PLA期服用安慰剂果冻。在干预前和干预后分别测量肠道菌群、α-多样性和便秘评分。α-多样性是衡量肠道菌群多样性的重要指标，干预后OIL组α-多样性(4.5±0.1)显著高于干预前(3.8±0.3)(p = 0.021)。值得注意的是，即使在10个月的洗脱期后，α-多样性水平仍保持不变。产丁酸菌Lachnospiraceae(%)在OIL中没有变化，但与干预前(20.1±7.0)相比，干预后显著减少(15.1±4.8)(p = 0.040)。此外，便秘评分仅在OIL期显著或倾向于降低(p < 0.05, p < 0.1)。综上所述，为期8周的紫苏油补充可以增强和建立肠道微生物群的多样性，从而缓解便秘。
