Yesterday, we marked #WorldPrematurityDay. 💜👶 Access to the right support makes all the difference for the vulnerable preterm infants. One critical area of care is parenteral nutrition when oral, gastric, or other options for feeding are not possible. Predominantly, those with a birthweight <1500 g rely on parenteral nutrition. 💪 Let’s unite for preemies and help ensure that every baby gets the best possible start in life. 👉 To learn more about parenteral nutrition, check out this useful resource from EFCNI - European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants: https://lnkd.in/eNuwX6Sj #WPD2024 #SpecialisedNutrition
🌍👶 2 days until November 17 - #WorldPrematurityDay! Did you know that over 13 million babies are born too soon each year? This year’s World Prematurity Day theme calls for access to quality care everywhere. It’s not just about survival – it’s about giving every baby, no matter where, when, or how they are born, the healthcare they need to thrive. 🌱 When mother’s own milk and donor human milk are not available, nutrient-enriched preterm formula can be a vital option for meeting the nutritional needs of very preterm or very low-birth-weight infants. 👉 Check out the impactful work of EFCNI - European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants #WorldPrematurityDay #NutritionMatters #SpecialisedNutrition
At Specialised Nutrition Europe, we are delighted to welcome Fresenius Kabi to our board! 🎉Together, we are committed to advancing the role of medical nutrition. Thank you, Fresenius Kabi, and Michael Sen for your expertise and commitment to a future where nutritional care is prioritised across all areas of healthcare. We look forward to a productive partnership in supporting better patient outcomes through specialised nutrition. 🤝
Disease-related malnutrition can lead to higher mortality rates in patients and higher costs for healthcare systems. Thus, the work of dieticians is essential to improve treatment outcome. According to the World Health Organization, between 24 and 40 percent of patients with diseases like cancer, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular or pulmonary disease lack nutrients. This can lead to: 👉 loss of skeletal muscle 👉 physical and mental dysfunctions 👉 delayed wound healing 👉 poor clinical outcomes Disease-related malnutrition can be caused by inflammation or hormonal changes. Some cancer patients have a syndrome called cachexia. It causes changes in metabolism and appetite and can make therapy less effective. Studies suggest that as much as 30% of all cancer deaths are caused by cachexia and about 80% of patients with advanced stage cancers are affected by the condition. The nutritional needs depend on the disease itself and the therapy phase. The ESPEN - European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism states that the incidence of malnutrition increases up to 40-80 percent during oncological treatments. It’s easier for the patient to cope with the side effects of a cancer therapy if they go into it well-nourished. That’s why our colleagues at Fresenius Kabi provide medical nutrition, in the form of enteral and parenteral nutrition, allowing healthcare professionals to make the right decision according to the patient’s individual needs, medical diagnosis, and treatment goals. Patients can also be supported with a prehabilitation plan – a nutrition program that starts a month before surgery, for instance. The dieticians at our Helios Kliniken GmbH and Quirónsalud hospitals consult the patients on all nutritional challenges. They help patients with metabolic diseases like diabetes or assist in navigating changes in taste that may come with chemotherapy. Sweet food can suddenly taste too sweet, meat can taste bitter, and many things just taste mushy. Dieticians develop specific nutritional plans to optimize the nutrients intake – be it with creative recipes or clinical nutrition. At Helios, our medical experts strive to better understand the nutritional needs of their patients. Clinical studies on nutritional therapy for chronic heart failure, malnutrition in the centralized care of colorectal cancer patients and parenteral nutrition have been completed or are underway at the Herzzentrum Leipzig GmbH, Helios Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken Wiesbaden, Helios Klinikum Bad Saarow and other hospitals. It's time to put the spotlight on the benefits of carefully chosen food for patients. That’s why Fresenius Kabi is now board member at SNE - Specialised Nutrition Europe. SNE promotes making malnutrition screenings an integral part of healthcare. Providing nutritional care in primary care and for in- and outpatient care can have a huge impact on treatment outcome. #Malnutrition #MedicalNutrition #FutureFresenius #CommittedToLife

🔍 SNE General Assembly 2024 Recap: Panel Discussion on Food Processing and Fortification – Between Facts & Fiction What does the science say, and which conclusions do EU decision-makers and stakeholders draw from the debate around so-called ‘ultra-processed’ foods? Our recent panel discussion on the occasion of the SNE General Assembly brought together science, civil society, and consumers to share their diverse perspectives on the topic of (ultra-)processed foods and fortification. This insightful session fostered a debate on the future of food processing and its role in nutrition - from debunking myths to sharing evidence-based insights - our speakers provided their insights on the intersections of policy, public health, and consumer safety. Thank you to our host and speakers Beat Späth, Marie-France Pagerey, Bruno De Meulenaer, Daemon Ortega Froysa, and Laura Fernández Celemín, as well as all the participants for a truly engaging event that sparked meaningful conversations! 💬✨ #FoodProcessing #SpecialisedNutritionEurope #GeneralAssembly2024
