Article Abstract
Aim: To assess the prevalence of undernutrition, overnutrition, and simultaneous malnutrition in a hospital setting, as well as undernutrition risk and dietetic intervention rates.
Methods: A point prevalence survey was conducted annually from 2016 to 2024 (excluding 2020-2021 due to Coronavirus Disease 2019) across three metropolitan health service hospital sites. Eligible multiday inpatients underwent bedside assessments and medical record reviews to determine Body Mass Index, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool scores, and undernutrition status based on either the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, or the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition. Data were analysed descriptively.
Results: Of 5186 patients surveyed, 21.2% were undernourished, 39.5% were overnourished, and 4.8% were simultaneously under- and overnourished. Just over one-third (37.4%) of all participants were at risk of undernutrition. Dietitian intervention rates were highest among the simultaneously malnourished (70.6%) and undernourished (69.6%), and low among the overnourished (3.6%).
Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for improved detection of simultaneous malnutrition and increased rates (towards 100%) of dietary intervention among patients with either under- or simultaneous malnutrition during a patient's hospital stay.

Background: Chemoradiotherapy is a therapeutic approach that prolongs survival but may simultaneously negatively affect the quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients. Current research on quality of life (QOL) in pan-cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) lacks systematic integration of bibliometric findings with clinical symptom data.

Cognitive impairment in older adults has emerged as a growing public health concern, particularly in relation to COVID-19 infection and its associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. The identification of modifiable risk factors may contribute to the development of targeted preventive strategies. This study aimed to assess predictors of cognitive impairment in older adults with and without recent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Both hypophosphatemic osteomalacia and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) can lead to hypophosphatemia, but their simultaneous occurrence in the same patient is exceedingly rare. This article reports a case of a 43-year-old female patient whose primary clinical manifestations included pain in the lumbosacral and scapular regions, restricted mobility, and biochemical findings of decreased serum phosphate levels with normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The patient's symptoms improved after treatment with active vitamin D supplementation, although neutral phosphate supplements were not administered.
