1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 03/01/1998 - "Prospective randomly controlled trials have failed to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of providing nutritional support to most cancer patients in terms of morbidity, mortality, and duration of hospitalization. " 06/15/1988 - "The fact that nutritional support falls short of its goal may explain why no improvement in tumor response to therapy has been described in most studies." 01/01/2015 - "The most effective and safe forms of nutritional support in children and young people with cancer are not known. " 01/01/2010 - "The most effective and safe forms of nutritional support in children and young people with cancer are unclear. " 05/01/1996 - "Standard nutritional support (both enteral and parenteral) is not always effective in significantly improving outcome in malnourished cancer patients, due to characteristic changes in host metabolism. "
2.	Critical Illness (Critically Ill) 05/01/2004 - "Early nutritional support has been found to be beneficial in critically ill patients. " 04/01/1999 - "The provision of nutritional support supplemented with key nutrients to patients with critical illness resulted in a decrease in infectious complications when compared with patients receiving standard nutritional support and a significant reduction in overall hospital stay. " 06/01/1996 - "Improved nutrition assessment parameters are required to better monitor the response to nutritional support in critically ill patients." 11/01/2011 - "In critically-ill cardiac patients with stable hemodynamic failure, nutritional support of 20-25 kcal/kg/day is effective in maintaining adequate nutritional status. " 11/01/2011 - "In critically-ill cardiac patients with stable hemodynamic failure, nutritional support of 20-25 kcal/kg/day is effective in maintaining adequate nutritional status. "
3.	Malnutrition 11/01/1986 - "Nutritional assessment has three main aims: to define the type and severity of malnutrition; to identify high risk patients; to monitor the efficacy of nutritional support. " 10/01/2014 - "Not only the regulation of hospital food, but also enteral nutritional support, improved their levels of malnutrition, as well as their energy, macronutrients, and fiber consumption, and SGA is an easy method for nutritional monitoring." 12/09/1999 - "Provision of nutritional support has been shown to improve patient outcome in those at risk of malnutrition; therefore, the detection and treatment of malnutrition is paramount. " 01/01/2016 - "Even though malnutrition is associated with an adverse prognosis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, few studies have addressed the question what is the optimal nutritional support for these patients. " 03/01/2015 - "To trial malnutrition screening in older adults presenting to an emergency department (ED) and compare two service delivery models of nutritional support on nutritional status, quality of life, falls and unplanned hospital admissions. "
4.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 06/01/1994 - "In selected malnourished or severely injured patients, early nutritional support has been shown to improve outcome and decrease the incidence of infectious complications following major surgery or trauma. " 03/01/2006 - "Using dietetic assistants to improve the outcome of hip fracture: a randomised controlled trial of nutritional support in an acute trauma ward." 06/30/2005 - "The energy and protein needs of the patients in Group 1 (study group) with nutritional support started 24 h after the thermal trauma were determined by the Toronto formula or by means of indirect calorimetry. " 10/01/1986 - "Enteral versus parenteral nutritional support following laparotomy for trauma: a randomized prospective trial." 01/01/1984 - "A randomized study was initiated to assess the benefit of early nutritional support in patients with abdominal trauma. "
5.	Sepsis (Septicemia) 10/01/2013 - "Key steps in managing patients with enterocutaneous fistulation and an abdominal wall defect include dealing effectively with abdominal sepsis and providing safe and effective nutritional support and skin care, then assessing intestinal and abdominal anatomy, before undertaking reconstructive surgery. " 10/01/1986 - "This is attributed to improved "para-surgical" care, appropriate nutritional support and early and aggressive control of sepsis. " 06/01/2015 - "Although sepsis is a heterogeneous condition and its pathophysiology therefore difficult to study, a universal and profound clinical problem is protein catabolism not responsive to nutritional support. " 01/01/2013 - "Most positive studies relating to nutritional support and sepsis have been in the setting of sepsis prevention. " 08/01/2010 - "Further and better-organized studies are needed to define the optimum strategies for treating patients with severe abdominal sepsis, managing the patient with the open abdomen and defining the role of enteral, as opposed to parenteral nutritional support in such patients."
