Malnutrition

Food supplies the energy and nutrients necessary for health. Failure to obtain sufficient nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals can cause malnutrition.

Symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, weight loss, etc. Or there may be no symptoms. Your doctor may undergo blood tests and nutritional assessment to diagnose the cause of the problem. Treatment includes replacement of missing nutrients and treatment of root causes

Malnutrition is a global, clinical and public health problem. Malnutrition is common, poorly understood, and inappropriate treatment. 1 Unfortunately, since the first appearance in the medical literature of Charles Butterworth's "Hospital Closet" in 1927, little improvement was seen in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition. This epoch-making article addresses the malnutrition that is often overlooked in US hospitals 2. A recent expert committee of the American Nutritional Enteral Nutrition Society (A.S.P.E.N.)

This article is from feedM.E. The Latin American team summarized evidence of disease prevalence associated with disease in Latin American hospitals. It also indicates that malnutrition may put excessive cost on health care systems, suggesting that attention to nutrition can improve patient clinical outcome and reduce medical costs. As an online supplement to this article, we provide feedM.E. Easy and effective way to nutrition management, translated into Spanish to facilitate use across Latin America. The Pathway program serves as a guide for identifying and treating patients at risk of malnutrition in the community, diagnosing and treating malnutrition in hospitalized patients and as a guide for follow-up on nutrition management after discharge in the community I will fulfill.

Protein - energy malnutrition is the most common nutritional deficiency among patients hospitalized in the United States. Half of all hospitalized patients are somewhat malnourished. In a recent survey of large-scale pediatric hospitals, the prevalence of acute and chronic protein energy malnutrition was more than half. This is a disease that occurred in the United States in the 21st century, and in 2010 a child in the Detroit, Michigan suburb of 8 months reported a case. Other cases of Kwashiorkor occur in the United States. An interesting report shows that the clinical picture of the baby imitates the Stevens-Johnson syndrome, but actually kwashiorkor is drawing attention. Even in the United States, infants eating only rice milk may develop kwasiol call.
