The Effects of Feeding Style on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Deposition within the First Year of Life
Creators: name: Schoen, Meriah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Background: Fat distribution, rather than total body fat, has been identified as a significant risk factor for chronic disease. Patterning of subcutaneous fat, in particular, may play a pervasive role in shaping the metabolic milieu that is critical for disease development. Several studies have shown that early-life nutrition may influence later body composition. The effect of breastfeeding and formula feeding on early patterns of subcutaneous fat deposition, however, are uncertain.
Objective: At a time when early infant growth is emerging as a predictor for later chronic disease, it is the aim of the present analysis to investigate whether feeding style (breastfeeding versus formula feeding) modifies subcutaneous fat growth rates and trajectories in the first year of life with a focus on the historical iterations of WHO infant feeding recommendations (0 to 4 months, 4 to 6 months, and 6 to 12 months of age).
Methods: This is an ex post-facto design that utilizes data collected as part of a longitudinal growth study in the first year of life. Subcutaneous fat mass was anthropometrically assessed weekly by skinfold thickness (triceps, quadriceps, calf, subscapular, suprailiac, midaxillary, and abdominal) in 21 infants. Feeding data were collected through daily parental records and are entered here as a categorical variable (predominantly breast fed and predominantly formula fed). Multi-level mixed effects models for repeated measures were used (STATA 14) adjusting for age, sex, weight, birthweight, and number of feeding episodes per day. Statistical significance was accepted at p
Results:Infants experienced fat accretion only during the first four months, and this was limited to peripheral skinfolds. Thereafter, subcutaneous skinfolds followed a trend of declining rates. Breastfed and formula fed infants, however, demonstrated different patterns of subcutaneous fat deposition in both the sum of skinfolds and in each skinfold site. During the first four months, formula fed infants experienced greater rates for the subscapular, abdominal, suprailiac, trunk, quadriceps, sum of skinfolds (p
Conclusion: Weekly skinfold assessments of seven subcutaneous sites have identified that feeding style predicts differences in deposition patterns in the first year of life. Breastfed infants demonstrated both slower rates of accretion and decline by comparison with their formula fed peers. This analysis further suggests that the first four months may be a critical period for subcutaneous fat deposition. Feeding specific effects were identified for truncal deposition and utilization, which suggests that future studies may benefit from depot-specific inquiries.
Effects of Advertising Methods on Fruit Consumption in Sixth-Grade Population
Creators: name: Keller, Teryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Background: The HHFKA authorizes funding and establishes policy for USDA?s child nutrition programs including the NSLP and the SBP to align with the DGA. It is inconclusive whether these dietary requirements increase healthy food selection let alone increase consumption because data is difficult to track, and plate waste studies are time consuming and labor intensive. Several studies have shown an association between advertising methods and increased fruit selection. However, research examining the degrees of impact these advertising methods have on student selection and consumption is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different methods of advertising in school cafeterias have different effects on influencing children?s food choices. The researchers predicted branding would have the greatest effect on fresh fruit selection and consumption. Fresh fruit selection and consumption were observed in a sixth-grade student population during school lunch with majority of students participating in the free and reduced lunch program.
Methods: An average of 412 student selection observations and 200 student consumption observations were collected over six days testing three advertising methods with a control group for each treatment. The three treatment groups consisted of branding, digital advertising, and variety.
Results: This study found that digital advertising and variety had a significant effect on students? fruit selection during school lunch by 8.5% and 17.6%, respectively. Digital advertising and branding had a significant decrease on student consumption, but variety increased consumption by 0.9%. 
Conclusion: In conclusion, advertising methods can increase the selection of fresh fruit, but additional strategies such as nutrition education, garden-based learning, and taste tests should be implemented to increase fresh fruit consumption.

description: L’indagine archeozoologica effettuata sui resti provenienti dalle campagne di scavo 2006-2007 condotte nel sito dell’Età del Bronzo di Solarolo via Ordiere ha permesso il riconoscimento, a livello di specie, di circa il 30% dei reperti osteologici (1325 su un tolale di più di 4000 resti). E’ stato ricostruito un quadro economico incentrato in maniera quasi esclusiva sull’allevamento. Le specie più rappresentate risultano essere gli ovicaprini, con una netta preponderanza delle pecore rispetto alle capre, seguite dai suini ed in numero piuttosto esiguo dai bovini. Tale economia d’allevamento risulta in linea con quanto si riscontra in altri contesti coevi emiliano-romagnoli.
description: The zooarchaeological investigation of the remains discovered at the Bronze Age site of Solarolo via Ordiere during the field-seasons 2006-2007, permits to identify about the 30% of the osteological finds by species (1325 on a total of more than 4000 remains). The resulting subsistence economy seems to be almost exclusively based on breeding. The most represented species are sheep and goats, with sheep definitely prevailing on goats, followed by pigs and a relative small quantity of cattle. This type of breeding economy match the general situation as outlined from the other contemporary sites in Emilia-Romagna.

description: Background:Adults suffer with age related hearing loss or Presbycusis which is even progressive due to auditory deprivation condition. Therefore, hearing aids are one of the most important recommendations for SNHL cases. The compromised speech perception ability may be due to the improper diagnostic procedures for Pure tone average calculations to diagnose the hearing loss and even due tothe software programming methods requiring the Pure tone averageto hearing aid fittings may also beinappropriate.

Aims and objective:The purpose of this research article is to provide insight on the two Pure tone audiometry protocols to diagnose hearing loss in only presbycusis cases. Materials and Method:  The severity diagnosis of hearing loss is based on 3 frequencies (500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz) vs 4 frequencies (500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz) Pure tone average calculations. Pure tone audiometry was performed on 30 subject participants in this study within age group of 50-75 yrs. Statistical analyses was done through SPSS software.

Results and discussion:The findings revealed no significant differences in PTA calculation over the 2 different protocols and therefore no changes in diagnosing the severity of SNHL due to Presbycusis were observed in this study.

description: La Grotta di Sa Rocca Ulàri, in Comune di Borutta (SS), si inserisce a pieno titolo nella fitta maglia insediativa che ha interessato le cavità naturali della Sardegna durante la preistoria e la protostoria. Le sue dimensioni e la particolare conformazione, in relazione con il ricchissimo contesto paesaggistico-territoriale del Mejlogu, hanno permesso a piccoli gruppi umani di stanziarsi nella cavità che si apre nel versante settentrionale del Colle di Sorres. La frequentazione è attestata senza interruzione a partire dal Neolitico Medio fino al Medioevo. Lo studio preliminare dei materiali, ha permesso di stabilire che il periodo di maggiore frequentazione a scopo abitativo è quello riferibile alla fine del Neolitico Cultura di Ozieri e al primo Eneolitico Sub Ozieri. L’uso funerario si ipotizza per le successive fasi culturali Monte Claro (Eneolitico Evoluto) e Bonnanaro I facies Corona Moltana (Bronzo Antico). In epoca nuragica (Bronzo Medio/Recente/Finale e prima età del Ferro) la cavità fu frequentata inizialmente come deposito di derrate alimentari, successivamente per altri scopi probabilmente legati al culto.
description: The Cave of Sa Rocca Ulàri, in the municipality of Borutta (SS), is fully inserted into the dense settlement of the natural cavities of Sardinia during the prehistory and early history. Its size and the particular relation to the configuration of the land in relation to the richness of the Mejlogu landscape, allowed small groups of people to settle in the cavity that opens into the northern slope of the Hill of Sorres. Attendance could be certified without interruption from the Neolithic until the Middle Ages. The preliminary study of materials, has determined that the most popular period for residential purposes is referring to the end of the Neolithic culture of Ozieri, and the first Eneolithic Sub Ozieri. The funerary use is assumed for the subsequent cultural phases Monte Claro (Evolved Eneolithic) and Bonnanaro I facies Corona Moltana (Bronze Age). In the Nuragic Era (Middle Bronze / Late / Final and early Iron Age) the cavity was initially used for storing food, then for other purposes probably linked to the cult.

Synergistic Effects of d-ë-Tocotrienol And Xanthorrhizol on Murine B16 Melanoma Cells
Creators: name: Chan, Darren
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Background: Skin cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, of which melanoma is the most lethal form. Conventional chemotherapy treatments come with a host of side effects. d-ë-Tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol have shown potential in treatment of cancers. Tocotrienol, an isomer of vitamin E, has demonstrated apoptotic and cell cycle arrest effects on cancer cells. Xanthorrhizol, a sesquiterpenoid, has demonstrated anticancer effects through both hormonal and nonhormonal pathways. It is unknown whether combinations of d-ë-tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol provide greater growth-suppressive activity than these agents alone.
Methods: The proliferation of murine B16 melanoma cells was measured using MTT assay with CellTiter 96 Aqueous One Solution (Progmega, Madison WI, USA). Cell cycle distribution was examined by flow cytometry. Protein expression was detected by Western blot analysis with chemiluminescent imaging.
Results: Xanthorrhizol inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-response manner. The IC50 of xanthorrhizol, or the concentration of xanthorrhizol required to suppress the cell proliferation by 50%, was estimated to be 65 ?M. A combination of 16.25 ?M xanthorrhizol and 10 ?M d-ë-tocotrienol inhibited cell proliferation to a greater extent than those by individual compounds (P
Conclusion: Xanthorrhizol and d-ë-tocotrienol demonstrate additive and possibly synergistic effects on the viability of murine B16 melanoma cells. The underlying mechanisms of action for this finding, including apoptosis and cell cycle, warrant further investigation.

description: Si presentano i risultati dello scavo della monumentale Tomba IV, nella necropoli dell'Età del Bronzo di Sa Figu (Ittiri-SS): una tomba ipogeica del tipo a "prospetto architettonico", che riproduce in roccia gli elementi caratteristici della "tomba di giganti" nuragica. L'indagine archeologica ha confermato la datazione di questa classe di ipogei al Bronzo Medio iniziale (fase di Sa Turricula), in sintonia con le coeve tombe di giganti megalitiche. Nelle tombe di sa Figu è anche attestato un riuso nell'Età del Ferro, chiarendo in parte gli aspetti funerari di questa fase del Nuragico tardo. Si chiarisce, inoltre, la derivazione delle tombe ipogeiche a "prospetto architettonico" dal modello megalitico di tomba di giganti, di cui esse sono imitazione, recuperando la tradizione ipogeica delle "domus de janas" neolitiche.

Archaeological excavation has confirmed the chronology of these tombs, during the first phase of Middle Bronze Age (named "Sa Turricula"), according with the dating of similar megalithic tombs. Iron Age re-use of this tomb are also detected, explaining some aspects of the burial context in the final phase of Nuragic civilization. It is clear, also, that the rock-cut tombs with architectonic prospect proceed from the megalithic model of the giant's tomb and find their origins in the "domus de janas" tombs of Neolithic.

Synergistic Effects of d-Tocotrienol and Xanthorrhizol in Prostate Cancer Cells
Creators: name: Madhani, Chappell
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: 
Background: Approximately one in seven American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. The mevalonate pathway produces essential intermediates for the post-translational prenylation and dolichylation of growth-associated proteins including Ras, nuclear lamins and growth factor receptors.  Dysregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the mevalonate pathway, in prostate cancer cells supports tumor growth and therefore can be targeted for prostate cancer prevention and therapy. Previous studies have shown that isoprenoids including tocotrienols and xanthorrhizol suppress the growth of prostate cancer cells with concomitant downregulation of HMG CoA reductase.
Objective:  To determine the synergistic effects of d-ë-tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol on growth of human DU-145 prostate carcinoma cells.
Methods:  DU-145 cells were incubated with d-ë-tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol, individually and in blends, for 72 hours before viable cells were quantified by CellTiter 96? Aqueous One Solution. The impacts of these compounds, individually and in combination, on cell cycle distribution and the



expression of cell cycle related proteins in DU-145 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry and Western-blot in follow-up studies.
Statistical analysis: All experiments were repeated 3 times. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess the differences between groups using Prism? 4.0 software (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA). Differences in means was assessed using Tukey?s test. Levels of significance are indicated as P < 0.05.
Results: Blends of d-ë-tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol showed greater inhibition of cell growth than those of individual compounds. Current results did not show a significant change in cell cycle distribution or down regulation of Cdk4 and cyclin D1 with the combination of compounds. The level of procaspase-3 for apoptosis initiation was also not altered.
Conclusion: Further studies are warranted to confirm these initial findings and understand the mechanisms underlying the combined effect of d-ë-tocotrienol and xanthorrhizol on cell proliferation.

description: The paper deals with the recent excavation of a Late Bronze Age settlement at Meldola (FC), presumably coinciding with XIX cent. discoveries. The settlement is located in the hill upland inside a region scarcely documented for the protohistorical period and interesting for a reconstruction of the settlement pattern. The pottery found at the site shows a full adherence to the Subappenninic with several analogies in Romagna and Middle Adriatic lands. The evaluation of faunistic remains extends the analysis of the site.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: 
Objective: To evaluate the difference in time to achieve enteral autonomy, survival, and linear growth velocity by parenteral nutrition (PN) weaning strategy in children with intestinal failure. Methods: Analysis of retrospectively reviewed medical record data included comparison of time to PN wean since the date of the first clinic visit, survival time, and differences in height z-scores between PN wean and two-years post-wean by whether an enteral tube feeding (TF) was used during the weaning process. Results:  32 of 49 children (65%) received an enteral TF with or without oral diet during the two-year follow-up period.  Median time to weaning did not differ significantly between those who received a TF (21.5 months [IQR;10.3, 37.8]) vs. oral diet alone (19.0 months [IQR; 14.5, 40.0]).  The probability of survival did not differ by TF status with only one death in the TF group.  Linear growth velocity between the time of PN weaning to two-years post-wean did not significantly differ by TF status. Children who weaned via oral diet alone had a similar decrease in height z-score vs. those who received a TF (-0.14 vs. -0.15, respectively); however, a greater increase in z-score between years 1 and 2 post-wean was observed (+0.27 vs. +0.11, respectively). Conclusions: No association between weaning strategy and outcomes in children with IF was observed.  Linear growth velocity declines during the first year after PN weaning but rebounds in year two.  Future studies should examine the long-term benefits of oral feeding vs. TF on intestinal adaptation.
Association between Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome in Children
Creators: name: Gerken, Ashley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Background: The prevalence of food allergy in the pediatric population is increasing. Classic IgE-mediated allergies have been well studied. However, less is known about non-IgE-mediated allergies. Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a mixed IgE and non-IgE-mediated allergy, and Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), a non-IgE-mediated allergy, have similar symptoms but different ages of presentation (any age vs.age; respectively). The purpose of this study is to determine the odds of developing EoE in children previously diagnosed with FPIES or who exhibited symptoms characteristic of FPIES.
Methods: Analysis of retrospectively reviewed medical record data included demographic, clinical, and nutrition characteristics as well as history of gastrointestinal symptoms, diagnosis of EoE, and diagnosis or symptoms of FPIES (history of vomiting) in a large cohort of children receiving care at an urban pediatric gastroenterology clinic. Nutrition characteristics included infant feeding regimen (breast fed vs. formula fed) and age of complementary food introduction. The population sample was provided by the GI Care for Kids Clinical Dietitian. Medical records were reviewed for all patients diagnosed with FPIES between March 1, 2016 and May 30, 2018 and an equivalent number of patients diagnosed with EoE in the same time frame.
Results: The majority of the population (N=148) was male (57.4%) and Caucasian (97.7%). The odds of developing EoE (mean age 9.3 + 5.4 years) by prior diagnosis of FPIES (median age 0.83 [Interquartile range; 0.6, 1.2]) or symptoms of FPIES was 0 and 0.25 (95% Confidence Interval; 0.109, -0.575), respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, previous history of food allergy and intolerance, and history of vomiting explain 23% to 31% of the variation in EoE diagnosis.
Conclusions: A history of symptoms characteristic of FPIES reported in the first year of life were observed to be protective for the development of EoE during childhood. The treatment for FPIES or its symptoms includes the elimination of common food allergens. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the effect of early infant diet on the future development of EoE.

description: In 1946 the magazine "La Fiera letteraria" hosted two important essays dedicated to psychoanalysis and poetry. The first, written by Benedetto Croce, was a few pages letter, which substantially rejected the claims of novelty and originality of "Freudianism", especially in philosophy. The other was a much more detailed and articulate response by poet Umberto Saba, which instead appreciated the psychoanalysis (and not only as therapy). We decided to republish these two texts by preceding them with two other brieg contributions by Benedetto Croce on psychoanalysis. The first is a review of the French translation of Freud's text on dream of 1903, and the second is a critical contemptuous of the "so-called stylistic criticism," that is put in relation with the Montessori method and to psychoanalysis
description: Nel 1946 “La Fiera letteraria” ospitò due importanti interventi dedicati a psicoanalisi e poesia. Il primo, per mano nientemeno che di Benedetto Croce, era una lettera di poche pagine, di sostanziale chiusura nei confronti delle pretese novità e originalità del “freudismo” soprattutto in ambito filosofico. Il secondo era la risposta, molto più dettagliata e articolata di un poeta come Umberto Saba, che invece alla psicoanalisi (e non solo come terapia) credeva e teneva molto. Riproponiamo qui questi due testi, preceduti da altri due brevi interventi di Croce sulla psicoanalisi: il primo è una recensione alla traduzione francese del testo di Freud sul sogno del 1903; il secondo è una critica sprezzante nei confronti della “cosiddetta critica stilistica”, che viene messa in relazione al metodo Montessori e appunto alla psicoanalisi.

METHIONINE RESTRICTION INHIBITS NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER GROWTH BY TARGETING THE BETA-CATENIN PATHWAY
Creators: name: Hobson, Katherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: 
Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death for both men and women. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of lung cancer with a 15% five-year survival rate. Current treatment options have serious side effects creating the need for alternative treatments. Methionine restriction (MR) has shown anti-tumor effects on various cancer cells, but the mechanisms involved in NSLCLC is unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine the anti-tumor effects of MR on NSCLC cells through the beta-catenin pathway.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the anti-tumor effects of MR on NSCLC cells through the beta-catenin pathway.
Methods: Human NSCLC cell lines, A549 and H520 were obtained from ATCC and treated in the presence of normal or MR media (95% methionine restriction). After 48 hours of incubation, cell viability was determined by the alamar blue assay and a clonogenic assay was performed separately.  A549 and H520 were treated for 24, 48, and 72 hours and cultured for harvest. Cell cycle was analyzed by measuring the DNA content of each cells determined using flow cytometry and western blot was performed using the antibodies ?-actin, ?-catenin, phospho ?-catenin, and PARP. In order to investigate the potential molecular mechanism of MR on NSCLC cell, a human phospho-kinase array was performed.  


Results: MR significantly inhibits the cell proliferation in A549 and H520 cells after 48 hours. MR induces cell cycle arrest in G1 compared with the control after 24 hours of treatment. Protein expressions of PARP and phospho ?-catenin are reduced in response to MR. The protein kinase array indicates MR exerts its anti-cancer effects by reducing phosphorylation of beta-catenin. 
Conclusion: Our results show MR has an inhibitory effect on the cell proliferation and colony formation of A549 and H520 cancer cell lines. Cell cycle arrest and reduced phosphorylated ?-catenin provides insight into how methionine metabolism inhibits lung cancer development and progression. Further in vivo studies are needed in order to testify the efficacy of MR as a cancer prevention approach for NSCLC.

description: A partire dalla novella originaria di Merimée, Carmen ha diritto perenne di cittadinanza nello spettacolo e nelle fantasie di tutti, in ogni variabile forma: opera, opera rock, hip opera e musical, ballo e balletto, letteratura, teatro, ma soprattutto cinema (circa 80 versioni) con multiforme accompagnamento musicale, dal jazz al rap. Cambia peraltro significativamente nel tempo e nello spazio la rappresentazione del personaggio, metafora del femminile per eccellenza, in tutte le sue clamorose variazioni culturali, psicologiche, politiche, razziali.
description: Starting from the original story by Mérimée, Carmen, in all its forms, has the right of permanent citizenship as a form of entertainment and in everyone’s fantasies: opera, rock opera, hip opera and musicals, dance and ballet, literature, theater, but especially in films (about 80 versions) with varied musical accompaniment, from jazz to rap. However, the representation of the character changes significantly in time and space. Carmen is a metaphor of the feminine par excellence, in all its glaring cultural variations: psychological, political, racial.

The Effectiveness of a  Volume-Based Enteral Feeding Protocol to Provide Energy Intake in Hospitalized Critically Ill Adults
Creators: name: Huffman, Anna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: 
Background: Patients determined to be at high nutrition risk are most likely to benefit from early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy.  The use of enteral feeding protocols has been associated with significant improvements in nutrition practice and overall nutrition adequacy. The effect of a combined-approach volume-based enteral feeding protocol on the percent of calories received by patients is unknown.
Objective:  The aim of this study was to determine if a newly implemented combined-approach volume-based enteral feeding (VBF) protocol is more effective in the delivery of EN volume and calories in intensive care unit (ICU) patients compared with the previous rate-based protocol where 88% of patients achieved 85% of their caloric requirements.  
Participants/setting: Eighteen critically ill adults hospitalized in either the burn or neurological ICU at a large urban hospital.
Main outcome measure: The percentage of calories delivered for each patient after a minimum of 7 days of protocol compliance.
Results: Ten patients (50% male, 70% Caucasian) received VBF in compliance with protocol for a median of 5.5 days (Interquartile Range; 4.8, 14.0).  The percent of goal volume delivered for those who received at least 7 days of treatment (n = 4) was 104.2 ñ 7.9. 
Conclusions:  The delivery of goal EN volume using VBF exceeded the average volume provided by the previous rate-based approach in a small sample of critically ill adults. This study supports the use of feeding protocols in order to increase overall percentage of volume delivered.  Additional research in a larger patient population is needed to determine the impact of this increase in volume delivery on patient outcomes.
Methods of Determining Energy Requirements in Critically Ill Adults Before the Publication of New Critical Care Guidelines
Creators: name: Ryan, Lindsay

Year: 2018

description: 
Background:  Energy requirements can be difficult to determine in the critically ill population due to the presence of catabolic stress. The 2009 Guidelines for the Provision and Assessment of Nutrition Support Therapy Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and in the Adult Critically Ill Patient recommend that energy requirements be calculated by predictive equations or weight-based equations or measured by indirect calorimetry (IC) and that nutrition efficacy may be monitored through nitrogen balance (24-hour Urinary Urea Nitrogen) or non-protein calorie:nitrogen ratio. Very few studies have reported the required energy assessment methods used by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) in the critical care setting and no studies have reported the use of laboratory tests  to monitor efficacy of nutrition. The purpose of the study is to examine practices for estimating energy requirements in critically ill patients by RDNs prior to publication of the updated critical care guidelines in 2016. 
Methods:  The study sample included patients currently included in the trauma registry at Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH). Patients who were in motor vehicle accidents (excluding trains), who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at GMH between July 4, 2014 and September 28, 2015, and who required at least five days of mechanical ventilation during admission were included. Demographic characteristics (gender, race, and age), anthropometric characteristics (body mass index classification), clinical characteristics (number of days on the ventilator, ICU days, time to death)), and nutrition assessment methods (energy assessment method used, weight used in assessment, and laboratory monitoring recommendations) were extracted from the electronic medical record.

Results:  The vast majority of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (98%) used a simple weight-based equation during the initial nutrition assessment. Approximately 1/3 of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionists used the actual patient body weight (36.8%) with the remaining primarily using a recommended body weight based on a selected BMI. Nine different weight-based equations were used with the equation 25-30 kcal/kg used most often (87.9%). Indirect calorimetry was not recommended by the RDNs during the first two weeks of admission for any patient.  RDNs recommended prealbumin to monitor nutrition status (within 2 weeks of admission) in 21.6% of patients.
Conclusions:  We observed inconsistencies in the equations, weights, and monitoring laboratory tests used by RDNs. This variability can be attributed to a lack of specificity in the 2009 critical care guidelines, which justifies the need for updated recommendations in 2016. Future studies should examine change in nutrition assessment practices by RDNs since publication of the 2016 guidelines.

description: 
Background: Breastfeeding (BF) is widely recognized as the ideal infant feeding method with a multitude of well-known infant and maternal benefits. However, current BF rates, particularly in the southeastern United States, fail to meet current BF recommendations. BF education interventions have shown to be successful at improving BF outcomes, as well as maternal knowledge and self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between BF education and infant BF outcomes based upon World Health Organization recommendations, with a secondary aim of determining the impact of BF education on maternal BF knowledge and self-efficacy.
Methods: Sixty adult female clients of PeaPod Nutrition and Lactation Support in the Atlanta, Georgia area, being the primary caregiver of an infant (12 months of age or younger) completed a short, anonymous, electronic questionnaire about any BF education they received and infant feeding outcomes. Outcome measures include BF rates and exclusivity. Secondary outcome measures include maternal BF knowledge and self-efficacy. The chi-square statistic was used to evaluate any associations between BF education and outcome measures.
Results: Study participants had a median age of 34 years, 70% self-reported as Caucasian with a median income between $100,000 - $150,000, and all participants held a college



degree. Fifty-five of the 60 participants that completed the survey received BF education either during their pregnancy or in the postnatal period. The education received occurred in a variety of settings and topics, and mainly consisted of in-person/hands-on instruction, with limited virtual/telephone education. Twenty-three of the 60 respondents (38.3%) are currently BF, of which, 65.2% are exclusively BF and 52.2% have been BF for more than 6 months. No statistically significant association was found between those that received BF education and BF duration (p = .838) nor rate of exclusive BF (Fisher?s Exact Test p = .350). Of participants that are currently exclusively BF, 50% reported receiving some form of BF education. Of individuals that previously breastfed for 6 months or more, approximately 74% reported receiving some form of BF education. All 55 participants that received BF education agreed that the BF education that they received increased their knowledge of BF, with 60% strongly agreeing and most participants (90.9%) agreed that their confidence in BF improved because of their BF education, 52.7% of which strongly agreed. 
Conclusion: Overall, high rates of BF and exclusive BF of infants 6 months of age and older were observed among study participants. All participants agreed that BF education improved their BF knowledge and the majority agreed that their self-efficacy improved as a result of the education that they received.
