The aim of the randomized controlled study is to determine effects of an adjusted amount of oral nutritional supplements on the quality of life, the nutritional status, side effects, and response to therapy, in patients with pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma receiving palliative therapy.

Young children in Guatemala are at risk for nutrient deficiencies due to plant-based diets and poor sanitation. Stunting, frequent diarrhea, and respiratory infections are common. Supplementation of Zn to children during diarrhea episodes has been shown to diminish duration and severity of illness. Poor Zn absorption due to high fiber and phytate in this diet might play a role in these processes. Supplementation of this micronutrient in the diet might be beneficial. The investigators will compare absorption of Zn from white maize tortillas enriched with 20% amaranth to traditional white corn tortillas in preschool children in Guatemala.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of Daewon DW-ES(B) 625mg/5ml and Megace 800mg/20ml in healthy male volunteers under fed condition.

It is estimated that up to 30% of cancer patients die because of the effects of malnutrition, caused by a discrepancy between nutritional needs and intake (or utilization) of energy and essential nutrients. Malnutrition and its severe complication, cancer cachexia, are negative prognostic factors in neoplastic patients, inducing Decreased response and tolerance to antineoplastic treatments, decline in the functional status, reduced quality of life and reduced survival. Prevalence data on malnutrition in italian oncology patients are lacking and the available literature data on weight loss and malnutrition in oncology refer to patients in different phases of disease and therapy. Most importantly , strategies for prevention of malnutrition and cachexia in oncology are still largely disregarded and scarcely implemented. The main objective of this project is to assess the prevalence of malnutrition in patients undergoing first medical oncology visit in Italy. Secondary objective is to increase awareness of metabolic and nutritional issues among medical oncologists, thus favoring the inclusion of metabolic-nutritional screening and monitoring in medical oncology protocols. This would in turn contribute to reduce the negative consequences of malnutrition- and cachexia-related complications.

This study is aimed at assessing how Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP) impacts on energy and nutrients' intake, energy expenditure, and nutritional status in obese patients. It will try quantitate energy and protein balance after RYGP, and to identify how RYGP effects the intake of various common dietary protein sources 16 female patients with BMI > 40 kg/m2 and on a waiting list for bariatric surgery will be included. The following measurements will be performed before, and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 36 months after RYGP body weight body composition (bio impedancemetry) basal metabolic rate (open circuit indirect calorimetry) 24-hour urinary urea excretion fasting blood chemistry energy and macronutrient's intake (3-day dietary recall)

Increasing Reactive oxygen and nitrogen production occurred simultaneously with decreasing serum and intracellular level of antioxidants and enzymes in critical ill patients, which result in increasing ventilator dependency and length of stay in intensive care unit and it also accelerate organ failures in patients. In this double blind clinical trial, the investigators examine effect of alfa-lipoic acid on those patients who admitted to intensive care unit that the investigators expect to stay for more than 7 days in this ward and who have tube feeding and don't have severe liver and kidney failure, AIDS and hepatitis. After randomization of included patients by block randomization the investigators will give 900mg/day alfa-lipoic acid for ten days to treatment group and identical placebo to control group by naso-gastric tube. The purposes of this study are decreasing ventilator dependency period, length of stay in ICU, mortality and decelerate of organ failures.

Background Over the last 10 years there has been an increase in the female agriculture labour force, in Pakistan, resulting in a feminisation of agriculture; which could have either a positive or negative impact on maternal and young child nutrition. It could have a positive impact through increased female wage earnings that improve her bargaining/decision-making power within the household. Women are more likely than men to make pro-nutrition choices with regards to household expenditure. Conversely, women's involvement in agricultural work may have a negative impact on infant or maternal nutrition by reducing time available for child care, through increased expenditure of physical energy without compensatory increases in food consumption or exposure to harmful toxins present in pesticides and other chemicals used in farming. Understanding the dynamics of these pathways, in a specific context, is important to ensure agriculture programmes and policies do not disadvantage women or their children. Overall aim To provide insights into positive and negative pathways between women's work in agriculture and maternal and child nutritional status, in different agriculture workload contexts, to inform agriculture interventions and policies in Pakistan. Specific Objectives To determine whether the number of hours a mother participates in agriculture work is associated with maternal body mass index and infant nutrition. To identify factors that modify the influence of maternal participation in agriculture work on maternal and infant nutritional status. Study Design A cohort study was conducted from September 2015 in irrigated rural areas of Pakistan. Infant-mother dyads were recruited when the infant was between 2 and 12 weeks of age inclusive. Anthropometric measurements (maternal and infant height / recumbent length and weight), interviewer administered questionnaires and spot observations were collected at recruitment (Time 1) and again when the infants were between 9-15 months of age (Time 2). The interviewer administered questionnaires were collected from each infant's mother (or the household head if the father was not present). A one page questionnaire was also completed at recruitment to record the numbers of women who agreed to participate in the study, the number who were approached but were not recruited into the study and the reasons they were not eligible to participate or their reasons for refusal.

A retrospective study based on Thai data from Nutrition Day study (nD). Comparing clinical outcome between malnourished patients who were prescribed oral nutrition supplement along with hospital diet and those without oral nutrition supplement.
