Purpose: Many mealtime interventions have been developed over the past ten years. The effective implementation of such interventions into clinical practice is crucial to improve the swallowing safety and/or mealtime-related quality of life for people living with dysphagia or at risk of malnutrition. This systematic review summarises and critically appraises the literature on implementation of mealtime interventions in inpatient and aged care settings.

In recent years, there has been growing debate over whether orthorexia nervosa should be considered a new psychiatric disorder. This paper discusses the conceptual issues that emerge from the attempt to identify the diagnostic criteria for orthorexia nervosa as opposed to non-pathological cases of healthy eating or 'healthy orthorexia'.

Background: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a vitamin A transport protein synthesized in the liver and also plays a crucial role in inflammation and immune regulation. Low serum vitamin A levels have been observed in both pediatric and adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The association between serum vitamin A levels and serum RBP4 levels, as well as the underlying mechanism involved inimpaired vitamin A transport during inflammation in UC patients, has yet to been investigated.

Background: Liver cirrhosis, characterized by chronic inflammation, is frequently complicated by malnutrition. Nutritional indices, such as the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the skeletal muscle index (SMI), calculated as the muscle area quantified via CT scans at the third lumbar vertebra level divided by the square of the patient's height in meters (cm/m), are associated with outcomes in inflammatory diseases.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the PNI both independently and in combination with the SMI for identifying malnutrition in cirrhosis and to explore their prognostic implications.

Peroneal neuropathy is a recognized cause for foot drop, typically following trauma, nerve damage, immobilization, or prolonged external pressure. Recently, rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery has been recognised as a potential cause for peroneal neuropathy. This may be due to the loss of protective fat tissue near the peroneal nerve, increasing its susceptibility to compression.
