Nutrition & Dietetics Research

KEY FINDING: GSE and CE treatments modulated pain behaviors, reducing thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in SCI mice.

KEY FINDING: VitD treatment post-TSCI effectively improved hindlimb movement in rats with normal VitD level irrespective of injury severity.

KEY FINDING: Simultaneous administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and antioxidant supplementation with Filipendula ulmaria extract significantly ameliorated the macroscopic and histopathological characteristics of the wound area and healing.

KEY FINDING: The LcS group had a significantly lower incidence of AAD at 30 days after finishing the antibiotic course (28.0 v 53.3%, RR: 95% CI: 0.53, 0.31–0.89; z = 2.5, p = 0.01).

KEY FINDING: The most common dietary pattern, similar to a ‘Western’ diet, included processed meat, sweets, desserts, and soft drinks.

KEY FINDING: In younger adults with SCI, vitamin D supplementation led to significant improvements in testosterone, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.

KEY FINDING: Zinc deficiency after SCI promotes the translocation of NF-kB in macrophages, leading to a pro-inflammatory phenotype and increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

KEY FINDING: Providers use clinical expertise by monitoring weight, educating patients, and providing resources. Checking progress, tracking health indicators, stressing risks, educating, encouraging healthy behaviors, and helping access resources were key strategies.

KEY FINDING: The patient experienced significant weight loss (7.2 kg based on self-report, 9.5 kg from 1 year prior based on Veterans Affairs (VA) measurements).

KEY FINDING: Sufficient energy intake within the first 3 days of admission did not affect functional outcomes in patients with CSCI.
