TL;DR: A pragmatic, randomized trial involving adults with an unplanned admission to one of 33 English intensive care units found no significant difference in 30-day mortality associated with the route of delivery of early nutritional support in critically ill adults.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality at 30 days for early nutritional support via the parenteral route compared with the enteral route among adults admitted to critical care units in England, and there was a need to utilise rigorous consensus methods for basic and clinical research in this area.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the introduction of a simple guideline stipulating reduced fasting times before ICU procedures can result in less time lost in feed interruptions and improved enteral nutrition delivery.

TL;DR: The practicalities of providing nutrition support to obese patients who experience complications following bariatric surgery are detailed and some of the nutritional challenges encountered by this group of patients are highlighted.

TL;DR: Obese patients lost muscle depth in a comparable manner to non-obese patients, suggesting that BMI may not prevent muscle depth loss, and the effect on strength was not possible to determine.
