Relative validity of a web-based self-administered 24-hour dietary recall to evaluate adherence to Canadian dietary guidelines.
In Canada, dietary guidelines are issued by Health Canada. The latest revision was proposed in 2007 in Canada's Food Guide (CFG) [1]. Food patterns proposed in the CFG were first developed to achieve age and sex-specific targets. These recommendations are based on the evidence of the relationship between food intakes and chronic diseases [2]. Second, food patterns developed were analyzed and needed to yield fewer than 10% of diets not reaching the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) from the Institute of Medicine [3] (or the Adequate Intake (AI) for nutrients that did not have EAR).

Nutrition support team activities can improve enteral nutrition administration in intensive care units
Enteral nutrition therapy (ENT) is the first treatment line to feed patients on mechanical ventilation or patients at nutritional risk in intensive care units (ICU), once they cannot rely only on oral nutrition to fulfill its needs1. Because of its complications risks, the ENT is considered a complex therapy and involves high operational costs2. Nowadays, the Nutrition support teams (NST) are the groups responsible to control the ENT quality and all the aspects involved in the nutritional care, which is determined by law in some countries.

Prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of overweight and obesity in a large Pan-European cohort of preschool children and their families. The ToyBox-study
A worldwide increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool age has been previously reported and is predicted to reach 9.1% in 2020 [1]. Early childhood obesity has been shown to track into adulthood [2], while it has been associated with increased risk for non-communicable diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and specific types of cancer, later in life [3, 4].

Randomised open-label trial of docosahexaenoic acid -enriched fish oil and fish meal on cognitive and behavioural functioning in Omani children
• Cognitive and behavioural functioning was assessed in school children before and after intervention with DHA-enriched fish oil and fish meal• Fish oil and fish meal improved executive functioning with significantly better results with fish oil but not verbal ability and memory• Fish oil amel iorated ADHD-related symptoms but fish meal did not.

Guanidinoacetic acid with creatine compared with creatine alone for tissue creatine content, hyperhomocysteinemia and exercise performance: a randomized double-blind superiority trial
• Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) appears as a novel energy-enhancing supplement for brain and muscle• Creatine-GAA mixture results in more powerful elevation of tissue creatine as compared to equimolar creatine• Better outcomes were reported for upper body muscular strength and less weight gain in GAA-creatine group• GAA-creatine mixture is an effective and safe creatine-boosting alternative to creatine alone in healthy men (Source: Nutrition)

Should we calculate or measure energy expenditure? Practical aspects in the ICU
This review focuses on why we should use indirect calorimetry in clinical practice of critical care medicine. We documents the benefits of using indirect calorimetry and disadvantages of using predictive equation for energy expenditure for critically ill patients from many recent studies in this area with interesting outcomes.

Lipid profile associated with the systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis in critically ill patients
• Low HDL, TC and LDL concentrations occurred in SIRS and/or sepsis;• Hypertriglyceridemia was associated with episodes of inflammation and infection;• In sepsis occurs changes in lipoprotein composition, mainly HDL, triglycerides and VLD;• Reduction in TC and lipoprotein were proportional t o the degree of inflammation;• Lipoproteins may function as potential biomarkers (HDL) in SIRS and sepsis.

Modulatory effects of taurine on metabolic and oxidative stress parameters in a mice model of muscle overuse
• Taurine aids in muscle fiber integrity and reduces centralized nuclei after overuse;• Taurine regulates ΔΨm without altering respiratory chain electron flow;• Taurine attenuates mitochondrial H2O2 production and lipid oxidative damage;• Overuse-induced DNA damage can be ameliorated by ta urine supplementation.

Optimal branched-chain amino acid ratio improves cell proliferation and protein metabolism of porcine enterocytesin in vivo and in vitro
Intestinal dysfunction often occurs in postweaning pigs and elicits diarrhea and mortality of pigs [1,2]. To solve this problem, an effective strategy is to reduce dietary protein levels, which contributes to improvements in gastrointestinal health and function [3,4]. However, the beneficial effects of protein-reduced diets often are accompanied by suboptimal growth of pigs because organisms need to lower the rate of protein synthesis to metabolically adapt to inadequate protein provision and intake [5].
