Disease relevance of Nutrition Therapy

• BACKGROUND: Active nutrition therapy and the anabolic steroid oxandrolone (OX), in selected patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis, significantly improved liver status and survival [1].
• Four measures related to medical nutrition therapy are proposed for managed care report cards: staffing for nutrition services and medical nutrition therapy for high cholesterol level, gestational diabetes, and cardiovascular disease [2].

Psychiatry related information on Nutrition Therapy

• Although medical nutrition therapy and appropriately prescribed increased physical activity are important components of a diabetes management plan, most patients need medication to lower glucose to near-normal levels [3].

High impact information on Nutrition Therapy

• METHODS: A 6-mo multicenter outpatient study was conducted with infants and toddlers managed by nutrition therapy with Cyclinex-1 Amino Acid-Modified Medical Food with Iron (Ross Products Division, Abbott Laboratories, Columbus, OH) [4].
• When medical nutrition therapy is ineffective for their patients with GDM, 82% of respondents initially prescribe insulin, whereas 13% begin with glyburide [5].
• These courses were created by the Latin American Federation of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition: the TNT (Total Nutrition Therapy) Course and the CINC Course (Interdisciplinary Course in Clinical Nutrition) [6].
• Medicare Part B coverage and billing for medical nutrition therapy [7].
• MNT (medical nutrition therapy): an innovative employee-friendly benefit that saves [8].

Associations of Nutrition Therapy with chemical compounds

• The observations that malnutrition frequently affects cancer patients, that it adversely affects postoperative prognosis, and that it is amenable to intensive nutrition therapy, lead logically to the hypothesis that preoperative parenteral nutrition should have a salutary effect on many patients undergoing oncologic surgery [9].
• Medical nutrition therapy lowered total serum cholesterol levels 13% (P < .001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 15% (P < .0001), triglyceride 11% (P < .05), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) 4% (P < .05) [10].
• Institute of Medicine urges Medicare coverage of medical nutrition therapy [11].
• Parental education about dietary management of CGGM with specialized formula supplemented with fructose and solid food feedings was an important component of this infant's nutrition therapy [12].
• The method is as sensitive as atomic absorption for zinc (sensitivity: 0.11 mumol/l) and copper (sensitivity: 0.020 mumol/l) and can also be applied to monitor aluminium (sensitivity: 0.12 mumol/l) for patients receiving total nutrition therapy or hemodialysis [13].

Gene context of Nutrition Therapy

• Use of retinol-binding protein and prealbumin as indicators of the response to nutrition therapy [14].
• However, total exposure to unstable and very large LDs was significantly reduced, suggesting that in-line TNA filtration should be a standard part of nutrition therapy [15].
• Nutrition therapy for diabetic nephropathy [16].
• The third edition of the Guidelines for Nutrition Care of Renal Patients has been developed to follow the American Dietetic Association's Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) Protocol format and to further assist dietitians in providing optimal and consistent care to renal patients [17].
