Low‐carbohydrate diets are being widely recommended, but with apparently conflicting evidence. We have conducted a formal systematic review of the published systematic reviews of RCTs between low‐carbohydrate vs. control (low‐fat/energy‐restricted) diets in adults with overweight and obesity. In MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Knowledge and Cochrane Databa...
Micronutrient intakes and plasma antioxidant micronutrients on low-carbohydrate diets – a systematic review - Volume 77 Issue OCE2 - C. Churuangsuk, D. Griffiths, M.E.J. Lean, E. Combet
Wound healing is a delicate, complex and challenging medical process. Hydrogel is a material that possesses properties aligned with the ideal characteristics required for wound dressings. Its mechanical properties, derived from the interconnection of fibers, closely resemble those of soft tissues regarding moisture retention, secretion absorption,...
Background
Low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) are popular for weight loss but lack evidence about micronutrient sufficiency in real-life use. This study assessed the intake and biochemical status of selected micronutrients in people voluntarily following LCDs.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted (2018-20) among 98 adults recruited as self-repo...
Cancer cells demonstrate enhanced survival owing to the underlying metabolic changes that accelerate tumor growth. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells exhibit the Warburg effect, a hallmark of cancer metabolism associated with aberrant proliferation. This review critically assesses the existing obstacles in developing selective type II glucose tra...
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is emerging globally as a significant problem. The mainstay of treatment is lifestyle intervention (LSI). We hypothesized that providing information regarding LSI and MASLD through a social media application generally used in the respective society would improve clinical outcomes in M...
Background
Patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) may develop refeeding syndrome (RFS). This study determined RFS prevalence in hospitalized adults on PN and evaluated whether higher energy delivered by PN on day 1 of PN initiation was associated with RFS development.
Methods
We reviewed the medical records of adult patients receiving PN at...
Objective: We developed a simple nutritional counseling tool for adults with liver cirrhosis, aiming for doctors, nurses, and patients as the tool’s primary users.Material and Methods: The tool was created in a booklet design and based on the European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition guideline, which comprises four parts, knowledge about...
Aims
To investigate temporal changes in glycaemic control and weight contributing to insulin resistance (IR), in Thai individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods
Longitudinal data of 69 individuals with T1D were retrospectively collected over a median follow-up of 7.2 years. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a marker of IR, was calcu...
OBJECTIVE
Enhanced recovery after surgery, or the enhanced recovery protocol (ERP), introduces a contemporary concept for perioperative care within neurosurgery. In recent years, mounting evidence has highlighted the significant impact of this approach on brain tumor surgery. The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of current pu...
Diabetes management relies on effective evidence-based advice that informs and empowers individuals to manage their health. Alongside other cornerstones of diabetes management, dietary advice has the potential to improve glycaemic levels, reduce risk of diabetes complications and improve health-related quality of life. We have updated the 2004 reco...
Objectives:
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have reduced the length of hospital stay (LOS) and healthcare costs without increasing adverse outcomes. We describe the impact of adherence to an ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy among neuro-oncology patients at a single institution.
Methods:
This retrospective study enrolled adu...
Introduction
Enteral nutrition (EN) in hospitalized patients has several advantages. However, post-feeding diarrhea occurs frequently and has been linked to negative outcomes. The EN formula itself may have an impact on how diarrhea develops, and fiber supplements may theoretically help patients experience less diarrhea. This study aimed to thoroug...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging globally, while no therapeutic medication has been approved as an effective treatment to date, lifestyle intervention through dietary modification and physical exercise plays a critical role in NAFLD management. In terms of dietary modification, Mediterranean diet is the most studied dietary patt...
Aims/hypothesis
Weight reduction is fundamental for type 2 diabetes management and remission, but uncertainty exists over which diet type is best to achieve and maintain weight loss. We evaluated dietary approaches for weight loss, and remission, in people with type 2 diabetes to inform practice and clinical guidelines.
Methods
First, we conducted...
To explore the factors (including knowledge and attitude) influencing the decision to follow a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) or not in a sample of the UK population. An online questionnaire was distributed electronically to adults who had either followed LCD or not (February–December 2019). Demographics and self-reported “LCD-status” (current, past a...
Purpose:
Evidence of low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets (LCHF) for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevention is scarce. We investigated how carbohydrate intake relates to HbA1c and T2DM prevalence in a nationally representative survey dataset.
Methods:
We analyzed dietary information (4-day food diaries) from 3234 individuals aged ≥ 16 years, in eight wav...
Low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) have been promoted for weight control and type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, based on an emerging body of evidence, including meta-analyses with an indication of publication bias. Proposed definitions vary between 50 and 130 g/d, or <10 and <40 % of energy from carbohydrate, with no consensus on LCD compositional criteri...
A systematic review of published evidence on micronutrient intake/status with carbohydrate‐restricted diets (CRD) was conducted in Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Scopus, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to October 2018. We identified 10 studies: seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (“Atkins”‐style, n = 5; “Paleolithic” diets, n = 2), two A...
Introduction: Low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) have become popular for weight management. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) and meta-analyses have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of LCD compared to conventional low-fat diets (LFD), but vary in terms of methodology (e.g. definition of LCD and trial inclusion), quality and Conclusions.
Metho...
Objective:
To study characteristics, clinical outcomes and factors influencing mortality of patients afflicted with melioidosis.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 134 patients, with a microbiologically-confirmed diagnosis of melioidosis, during the period from January 2002 to June 2011 at Songklanagarind Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in...
