In this 38:42 episode, Suzi Baxter, PhD, RD, LD, FADA, FAND, and Alena Morales, RD, talk about the Disabilities in Nutrition and Dietetics Member Interest Group (MIG), a community that connects Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics members who self-identify as having a disability, work with clients and patients with disabilities, educate members with disabilities, and are interested in disabilities as they relate to nutrition and dietetics. You’ll learn about how the MIG was created, what it strives to accomplish, and what it’s focusing on now.

Up to 36% of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) present with obesity. Factors associated with obesity can complicate malnutrition screening and the nutritional care of those with obesity; therefore, malnutrition may be underrecognized in this population. The 2019 European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) states that every critically ill patient in the ICU for more than 48 hours should be considered at risk for malnutrition. This infographic provides guidance on diagnosing malnutrition and estimating energy and protein needs for critically ill patients with obesity. To learn more about supporting patients with obesity, enroll in our free course, “Malnutrition Screening in Patients with Obesity in the Hospital Setting.” Free Continuing Education: RN 1.0 CE, RD 1.0 CPEU Enroll here: https://lnkd.in/gP844i64 #NFPE #PatientswithObesity #Infographic #ICU

Explore this infographic, which is a tool for dietitians to better understand equipment, lines, drains, and airways (LDAs) in the critical care setting in order to reduce barriers to conducting malnutrition assessment. This infographic was featured in the ANHI course “Adult Malnutrition in the Critical Care Setting: Utilizing Nutrition-focused Physical Exam in the ICU.” This free course is led by Michelle L. Schneider, MS, RD, CNSC, CCTD, FASPEN who identifies the prevalence of adult malnutrition in the critical care setting; demonstrates how to apply the knowledge of nutrition-focused physical exam within the unique challenges of the critical care setting; reviews the characteristics for identifying adult malnutrition based on AND/ASPEN consensus; and discusses practice strategies (including nutrition intervention) for improved patient outcomes.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood and urine. According to the World Health Organization, 422 million people across the globe have diabetes; 8.5% of all adults live with diabetes, and the majority are patients with Type 2 diabetes. Learn more about the role nutrition can play in better patient outcomes by exploring our numerous diabetes-focused resources.

Read ASPEN’s clinical observations: Measurement of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference to Screen for Childhood Malnutrition Since the development of consensus‐recommended indicators for pediatric malnutrition in 2014, screening and diagnosis of pediatric malnutrition have improved, but the indicators are not always used; malnutrition continues to be underdiagnosed in some community and healthcare settings. In particular mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) is underused as a screening indicator for pediatric malnutrition, despite its unique advantages and usefulness in several clinical situations. In December 2022, a scientific roundtable was held to bring together several experts in pediatric malnutrition, including Patricia Becker, MS, RDN; Susan Abdel‐Rahman, PharmD, MA; Dan Nemet, MD, MHA; Luise V. Marino, PhD, RD; Garey Noritz, MD; Mauro Fisberg, PhD, MD; and Kaitlan Beretich, PhD, RD. One of the goals of the scientific roundtable was to discuss the clinical use of anthropometric measures as screening tools for pediatric malnutrition status, with a focus on the use of MUAC. This article arose from that event and is intended as an educational tool to aid clinicians in implementing MUAC measurements. In addition to describing the use of MUAC as a screening tool, the article discusses several clinical situations in which MUAC is especially useful. Additionally, the article reviews practical aspects of measuring and interpreting MUAC values, provides links to additional educational resources, and briefly reviews areas in which further research is needed regarding the use of MUAC for screening of nutrition status in children.
