- Background & Aims: The aim of this study of women with hip fracture was to describe nutritional status with biochemical markers and anthropometric variables, and to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention with the intention of increasing protein and energy intake.Methods: The first consecutive 44 women were included, and used as controls. The next 44 were matched for age, fracture and mental state. Anthropometric variables, IGF-I, hormones and serum albumin were collected 4–6 days (baseline), 1 and 3 months after surgery. Twenty-four women filled out a 7-day food record.Results: At baseline, one fourth had BMI <20 kg/m2and subnormal triceps skinfold thickness. Baseline serum albumin, IGF-I and growth hormone levels were low, probably as an acute response to trauma. Women with BMI <20 kg/m2had lower IGF-I levels compared to those with higher BMI. At 3 months, one-third of both groups were protein and energy malnourished. The intervention group obtained higher daily energy percentage from fat but none of the groups reached their calculated energy need.Conclusions: Using biochemical markers in the acute postoperative situation to assess nutritional status is not recommended. The intervention had no impact on anthropometric or biochemical variables.

- Background and aim: Malnutrition in nursing home residents is an important clinical and public health problem. Knowledge is lacking about the reproducibility of dietary recording in geriatric patients. Few studies have described water intake in this age group. The aim of this study was to test the reproducibility of a 7-day dietary record routine in a clinical setting. Methods: The dietary intake of 81 geriatric patients was recorded for two discrete periods of 7 consecutive days by the ward staff. The dietary record routine, which assessed both food and fluid intake, was based on standardized portion sizes and household measurements. Results: The mean daily energy intake during the first period was 7.07 MJ and 6.84 MJ during the second period, with a mean difference of 4%. Corresponding values and the mean difference for water intake from food and beverages were 1781 g, 1702 g and 4% respectively. Age, gender, diagnosis, length of stay, diets or ADL function did not influence the results. The correlation coefficient for fluid intake between the periods was 0.84 for women and 0.72 for men. Conclusion: The 7-day dietary record routine seems to have a good reproducibility in assessing the intake of energy and fluids in geriatric patients.

- Background and aims: Early enteral nutrition (EN) improves intestinal integrity, motility and immunocompetence. However, technical problems such as diarrhoea and gastric residual volumes are said to be associated with the method and have prevented its implementation. We have prospectively assessed clinical problems connected to early EN. Patients and methods: Seventy-three consecutive patients eligible for EN were assessed and observed until discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) or until they resumed oral nutrition. They had surgery for coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valvular disease, thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms or other combined procedures. Two cardiac patients were not subjected to surgery. Results: In 59/73 patients, EN was started within 3 days. EN was discontinued in half of the patients when they were able to feed themselves. Twelve patients vomited, one of them severely. Dislocation of the nasogastric tube occurred in 28 patients. The 15 patients with diarrhoea were treated with 2–6 broad-spectrum antibiotics during their ICU-stay. Out of 73, 40 patients did not show any gastric residual volume (GRV). GRV decreased during EN in 50% of the patients with fairly large or large residual volumes. The incidence of aspiration pneumonia was 10%. Conclusion: In the cardiothoracic ICU, individually adjusted early EN is feasible with few problems.

- Background & aims: Methods to study glucose kinetics in vivo in specific tissues or tissue beds in humans are often not feasible due to invasiveness or costs of equipment needed. Here we investigate whether the loss (fractional extraction) of 2H7-glucose infused via a microdialysis catheter can be used to study glucose disposal in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue.Methods and results: A perfusion period of 2 h was needed to ensure an isotopic steady state in the microdialysis catheters in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. In six healthy volunteers the fractional extraction increased during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in both skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Following 48 h of starvation in the same subjects, insulin was not able to increase the fractional extraction of 2H7-glucose from the microdialysis in comparison with a baseline measurement.Conclusions: In response to insulin infusion, the fractional extraction of 2H7-glucose from a microdialysis catheter increases in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue and this increase is blunted during insulin resistance induced by starvation. These results validate that the fractional extraction of a glucose tracers infused via microdialysis can be used as an index of glucose disposal in peripheral tissues or tissue beds.
