Stratton, Rebecca J., Ek, Anna-Christina, Engfer, Meike, Moore, Zena, Rigby, Paul, Wolfe, Robert, ...
Background: There have been few systematic reviews and no meta-analyses of the clinical benefits of nutritional support in patients with, or at risk of developing, pressure ulcers. Therefore, this...

Background: This study aimed to examine whether circulating concentrations of a range of vitamins and trace elements in patients receiving long-term cyclic enteral tube feeding vary during the day,...
Campbell, David I., McPhail, Graham, Lunn, Peter G., Elia, Marinos, Jeffries, Donald J.
Objectives: Investigate whether fecal neopterin concentration (a potential marker of gut inflammation) in Gambian children with enteropathy was associated with growth failure. Secondary outcome...
Nutrition in acute care (2004)
Malnutrition is common in hospitalised patients but is underrecognised and undertreated. It increases mortality and complications, and delays recovery from illness during and after hospital stay. The...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis - part I: review of principles and methods (2004)
Kyle, Ursula G., Bosaeus, Ingvar, De Lorenzo, Antonio D., Deurenberg, Paul, Elia, Marinos, Gomez, José Manuel, ...
The use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is widespread both in healthy subjects and patients, but suffers from a lack of standardized method and quality control procedures. BIA allows the...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis-part II: utilization in clinical practice (2004)
Kyle, Ursula G., Bosaeus, Ignvar, De Lorenzo, Antonio D., Deurenberg, Paul, Elia, Marinos, Gómez, José Manuel, ...
BIA is easy, non-invasive, relatively inexpensive and can be performed in almost any subject because it is portable. Part II of these ESPEN guidelines reports results for fat-free mass (FFM), body...
Weekes, C. Elizabeth, Elia, Marinos, Emery, Peter W.
Background & Aims: Nutrition screening tools (NST) identify individuals who are malnourished or at risk of becoming malnourished and who may benefit from nutritional support. The aims of this study...
Influence of short-term dietary weight loss on cortisol secretion and metabolism in obese men (2004)
Johnstone, Alexandra M., Faber, Peter, Andrew, Ruth, Gibney, Eileen R., Elia, Marinos, Lobley, Gerald, ...
