“…In cancer patients subclinical malnutrition, which cannot be detected by these measurements endangers successful therapy and therefore a nutritional assessment should be performed. Useful tools are the Mini Nutritional Assessment (download in different languages at www.mna-elderly.com) or the nutritional assessment developed by Wolinsky et al [44,45].…”

The proportion of older cancer patients is increasing due to demographic and disease-specific reasons. However, this group of patients is severely underrepresented in research and clinical therapy. Limitation in physical and functional capacity with considerable interindividual heterogeneity remains one of the important problems in the treatment decision process. One approach to this problem is the use of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) to describe and classify these deficits with high validity and reliability. The different domains of CGA are described with special respect to the instruments applied, as CGA has also a key role in the decision process.

“…The following data were prospectively collected: (1) General and clinical preoperative variables: age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), percent weight loss, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, nutritional status (albumin, pre-albumin, nutritional risk index (NRI)), and serum total bilirubin level. The NRI was defined as 15.9 × albumin (g/l) + 0.417 × % usual body weight [6]. (2) Intraoperative data: type of resection, amount of blood loss/blood transfusion, use of abdominal cavity drainage and surgery duration.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term outcomes of biliary tract and duodenum-preserving pancreatectomy (BT-DPP) versus non-conservative pancreatectomy (NCP). Patients and Methods: From 2008 to 2012, 39 of 259 patients underwent pancreatectomy for benign or borderline neoplasms. Patients were classified as BT-DPP (n = 15) or NCP (n = 24). Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. Results: Both groups were comparable regarding demography, intra- and postoperative data (operative time, blood loss) and length of hospital stay. Overall complications occurred in 10 and 19 (p = 0.31), postpancreatectomy fistula in 2 and 4 (p = 0.6), biliary fistula in 3 and 1 (p = 0.15), and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage in 3 and 7 (p = 0.4) patients in the BT-DPP and NCP groups, respectively. One patient in the NCP group died. The median follow-up was 27 (4.4-56.5) and 23.4 (0.3-53) months in the BT-DPP and NCP groups, respectively. One BT-DPP patient had biliary stenosis treated endoscopically and 1 patient in the NCP group required surgery. The incidence of diabetes was equal. Conclusion: Our study shows that BT-DPP is feasible without an increase in morbidity compared with NCP. In the long term, BT-DPP was not associated with higher morbidity.

Religion is an important aspect of many people's lives, especially for older adults. However, very little data exists about the relationships between religion, food-related social support, diet, nutrition, and anthropometrics in older U.S. adults. Social support may be a possible mechanism for religiondiet/nutrition relationships. This analysis examined these relationships in a sample of 424 older individuals. Religion was related to some dietary behaviors in men, and in dietary behaviors and anthropometrics in women. Religion's relationship with anthropometrics as well as diet in women may have been due to women's greater religiousness and involvement in food acquisition, preparation, and distribution in religious gatherings.
