A new cross-sectional secondary analysis was published in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN) focusing on issue related to the indirect calorimetry test in hemodialysis patients. Indirect calorimetry requires a steady state (SS) protocol to determine measured resting energy expenditure (mREE). Achieving stringent criteria for an SS interval may be difficult for patients on maintenance...
A new study on the Nutrition Clinical Practice Journal demonstrates that the assessment of energy expenditure in cystic fibrosis patients requires indirect calorimetry and cannot be predicted by equations. Resting energy expenditure (REE) is increased in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) with end-stage lung disease due to chronic inflammation and pulmonary infections. After lung transplantation...
The limited accuracy of currently in use predictive equations for Resting Metabolic rate (RMR) was assessed in a new study on the FASEB Journal. The objective of the present study was to test the validity of established (Harris-Benedict, WHO, Mifflin-St. Jeor) and contemporary (3 meta equations of Sabounchi and colleagues, 1 equation of Nelson and colleagues, 1 by Wang and colleagues) RMR prediction...
A study published in the Proceedings of the Nutrition Society investigates the current findings on the management of neonatal nutrition in the preterm infant. The present paper provides a review of the current literature on the nutritional management and assessment of growth in preterm infants. It also explores several elements that may be essential for optimising nutrient intakes in preterm infants,...
A new study confirms the importance of measuring resting energy expenditure in a clinical setting rather than using predictive equations. The study has been published on the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. The study performed a cross-sectional study of 236 infants, children and adolescents consecutively admitted to the Intermediate Care, Nephrology, Intensive Care, Emergency,...
