Review Meta Analysis
Regional and sex differences in the mortality risk associated with primary liver cancer in obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Obesity has increasingly become a prominent public health problem. Although some studies have shown that obesity is associated with the risk for primary liver cancer (PLC)-related mortality, the regional and sex differences are not clear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to further elucidate the influence of obesity on PLC prognosis from multiple aspects. ⋯ This study demonstrated a stronger association between obesity and PLC-related mortality in North America and Europe and among men.

Observational Study
Nutrition care processes from intensive care unit admission to inpatient rehabilitation: A retrospective observational study.
Extended duration of nutrition interventions in critical illness is a plausible mechanism of benefit and of interest to inform future research. The aim of this study was to describe nutrition processes of care from intensive care unit (ICU) admission to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. ⋯ Rehabilitation LOS was longer than in the ICU or acute wards, yet patients in rehabilitation were assessed the least by a dietitian and time to assessment was longest. Symptoms that impact nutrition intake were common; nutrition interventions beyond the acute care setting in critical illness need investigation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Relationship between diet quality and biochemical profile in Brazilian overweight pregnant women.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the Adapted Diet Quality Index for Pregnant Women (IQDAG) and the biochemical profile of overweight pregnant adult women. ⋯ The data from the present study suggest that higher consumption of legumes is associated with lower levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein. A higher intake of calcium was directly associated with total cholesterol . Further research is required to fully understand how diet quality affects pregnant women's biochemical profiles and what that means for the health of the mother and the fetus.

The aim of this study was to investigate the complementarity of five nutritional risk screening tools (Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 [NRS-2002], Malnutrition Screening Tool [MST], Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool [MUST], Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form [MNA-SF], and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment SF [PG-SGA SF]) combined with three malnutrition diagnostic tools (SGA, PG-SGA, and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition [GLIM]) and their ability to predict poor clinical outcomes in older patients with cancer. ⋯ Concomitant application of MNA-SF (specific for older patients) with PG-SGA (specific for patients with cancer) might enhance the ability to predict length of stay and readmission in hospitalized older patients with solid tumors.

Inflammation plays an important role in migraine development. Dietary interventions that reduce the inflammatory state are effective for migraine prophylaxis. However, little is yet known about the association between the inflammatory potential of diet and migraine in the general US adult population. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the inflammatory potential of diet is associated with severe headache or migraine in US adults. ⋯ The inflammatory potential of the diet is associated with severe headache or migraine in US adults.
