Correlation Between Non-motor Symptoms and Malnutrition in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson DiseaseThis study used Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA) , Nutrition risk screening 2002(NRS-2002) and Non-motor Symptom Quest (NMSquest) to investigate the nutritional status of patients with Parkinson's disease, to analyze the correlation between non-motor symptoms and malnutrition in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) , and to provide evidence for clinical treatment and early nutritional intervention.
An Oral Nutritional Supplement Study in Older Malnourished Spanish Population
MalnutritionPost-marketing observational study of a nutritional care plan, including a higher calorie, higher protein oral nutritional supplement (ONS), prescribed to Spanish patients, both free living and residing and nursing homes, who have been identified as malnourished. The objective is to assess the impact of the ONS on body weight, activities of daily living and quality of life.
Nutritional Deficiencies in the Bariatric Patients
Morbid ObesityNutritional DeficiencyAlthough morbidly obese subjects have larger than regular caloric intake, there is evidence that they suffer from nutritional deficiencies at a higher rate than the general population, probably because they eat mostly "unhealthy food."
Assessment of Food Intake in Hospitalized Patients
UndernutritionFood provision and consumption were assessed for all hospitalized patients over a 24h-period survey. This study is a part of a control quality programme and is performed every 4 years since 1999.
Assessment by the CANS Score Versus Anthropometry and Impact on Early Neonatal Morbidities
Fetal MalnutritionAssessment of malnutrition within 48 hours of birth through anthropometric indices as Weight, Length and Head circumference, Proportionality indices as MAC/HC ratio, Ponderal index and Body mass index, Clinical assessment of nutritional status (CANS) score. Detection of early neonatal morbidities within the first week of life including Hypoglycemia ,Polycythemia, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Neonatal sepsis, Hyperbilirubinemia and Feeding intolerance
Evaluation of a Strategy for the Presentation of Oral Nutritional Supplements in Verrines for Managing...
Patients Hospitalized in Follow up Care or RehabilitationProtein-energy malnutrition results from an imbalance between the body's intake and needs. Among the elderly in long-term care, the prevalence of undernutrition varies from 30% to 70%. It is responsible for or aggravates a state of fragility or dependence, and promotes the occurrence of morbidities. It is also associated with worsening prognosis for underlying diseases and increases the risk of death. Nutritional management of undernutrition is an issue, especially in health facilities. Among the various existing nutritional care methods, oral nutritional supplements should be considered in the event of failure of food enrichment measures or even at the outset in undernourished elderly people. However, compliance or acceptance of these products among the elderly remains limited and variable with consumption of oral nutritional supplements ranging between 48% and 94% according to studies, and, because of their ease of prescription, oral supplements are sometimes the only nutritional intervention.

Covid-19 and Prevention of Malnutrition After Confinement by Dentists
Nutrition PoorInfection Viral1 moreBackground. The Covid-19 pandemic reached France in January 2020 and the French government decreed the confinement of the population for eight weeks, from March 17 to May 10, 2020. Dental surgeries were closed and only dental emergency services were provided. Dental surgeries reopened on May 11th, with a limited focus on urgent care, by applying new occupational hygiene standards to limit the circulation of SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus. Hypothesis. From May 11th, chronic patients and elderly patients who come to the hospital for dental consultations will have two risks of malnutrition:
Impact of Auditory Stimulation in Eating Pleasure (EDERE 2021)
FrailtyMalnutrition3 moreBackground. Decreased taste and smell contribute to loss of appetite (anorexia), and the resulting protein-energy malnutrition increases the frailty of the elderly. The risk of falls, disability, infections and depression often requires them to be institutionalized. Elderly, undernourished and toothless patients often complain about the monotony of a soft, mixed-texture diet. In a previous study, some participants highlighted the pleasure of crunching cookies that have a solid texture that can be eaten in any dental condition. However, the age-related decrease in hearing (presbyacusis) is frequent and progressive from the age of 60. The hypothesis of this work is that older patients may perceive a crunchy food crunching in their mouth, despite presbycusis. If the hypothesis is verified, this would make geriatric caregivers aware of the possibility of diversifying the texture of food, in order to stimulate the pleasure of eating and increase the dietary intake in this population of patients who are often undernourished, dysphagic, edentulous and hearing impaired. The originality of this study is to share the expertise of geriatricians and specialists in mastication/swallowing (dental surgeon, speech-language pathologist), hearing (ENT doctor, hearing care professional) and nutrition (dietician). Type of study. Type of study MR-004 "Research not involving the human person". Protocol. Compare the noise and pleasure of crunching between two hyperprotein nutritional supplements: a soft filled cookie (Nutra Cake™, Délical, France) and a crunchy cookie of the Breton type (Protibis™, Solidages, France). Blind study impossible: each subject will eat a cookie then the other in a random order and will be his own control. The tests will be performed without the possible hearing aids, but with or without the dentures according to the patient's preference. Indeed, some patients have dental prostheses that are no longer suitable for chewing, and that they wear only for aesthetics. Objective. Validate the evaluation criteria "Do you hear the biscuit crunch?" and "Is it a pleasure?" If so, encourage diversification with crunchy foods with a suitable texture, as well as dental and prosthetic rehabilitation of dependent elderly people.
Prevalence of Wound Healing Disturbances in Geriatric Inpatients (WONDER Study)
Wound Healing DisorderMalnutritionIn geriatric patients, there is a plethora of nutritional and illness-related parameters, resulting in a complex situation which hampers identification of risk factors.In the planned prospective study, the point and period prevalence of wound healing disorders (WHD) is examined at admission and at discharge in a cohort of 517 male and female geriatric patients. As the investigators are also interested to study the occurrence of WHD in patients with malnutrition (and other geriatric phenomena) compared to the prevalence of WHD in patients with a good nutritional Status.
