Nutrition Support Review Course 2012 (NSRC 2012)
Description
A.S.P.E.N.’s Nutrition Support Review Course (NSRC), formerly known as the Interdisciplinary Review Course, provides an overview of nutrition support therapy that can be used as a tool for helping you identify personal knowledge gaps. Whether you are preparing for a certification exam or seeking additional professional growth, recognizing these knowledge gaps allows you to use your professional development time and energy more effectively. The NSRC divides topics into core subjects, areas of major emphasis for practice and certification examinations, and specialty subjects. This course will include a broad overview of the core subjects including GI physiology, nutrition assessment, parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition. The review of specialty areas, such as pediatric nutrition support, home care, statistics and drug nutrient interactions, is intended to hit the highlights of each subject area. Don’t miss this invaluable review of nutrition support!
Learning Objectives:
- Assess personal knowledge of nutrition support and identify areas requiring further study for the nutrition support specialty certification examinations or other professional growth.
- Review core nutrition support topics including GI physiology, nutrition assessment, parenteral nutrition, and enteral nutrition.
- Highlight specialty areas such as pediatric nutrition support, home care, statistics and drug-nutrient interactions.

If untreated, these feeding disorders can negatively impact the child’s development. This course provides an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of infants and children who are at risk of developing chronic feeding problems associated with various medical conditions. An interdisciplinary panel of experts will share their expertise with the audience on how to diagnose, treat and improve the nutritional status of pediatric patients with chronic feeding disorders.

Research Workshop- Using Nutrigenomics and Metabolomics in Clinical Nutrition Research (RW-12)
Description:
A.S.P.E.N. offers a research workshop every year which features presentations from the foremost researchers in clinical nutrition. This day-long program is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to examine, with influential leaders, a core clinical nutrition issue.
The 2012 Research Workshop is directed by Steven Zeisel, MD, PhD, Kenan Distinguished Professor, Department of Nutrition, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Director, University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute. This course will bring you up to date on how new methods in nutrigenomic and metabolomic profiling are being used to enhance research on the relationships between diet and health.
Abstract:
We are beginning to understand how genetic variation and epigenetic events alter requirements for, and responses to nutrients (nutrigenomics). At the same time, methods for profiling almost all of the products of metabolism in a single sample of blood or urine are being developed (metabolomics). Relationships between diet and nutrigenomic/metabolomic profiles, and between those profiles and health, have become important components of research and could change clinical practice in nutrition. Most nutrition studies assume that all people have average dietary requirements and often do not plan for a large subset of people who differ in requirements for a nutrient. Large variance in responses that occur when such a population exists can result in statistical analyses that argue for a null effect. If nutrition studies could better identify responders and differentiate them from non-responders based on nutrigenomic/metabolomic profiles, the sensitivity to detect differences between groups could be greatly increased, and resulting dietary recommendations appropriately targeted.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine how metabolomic profiling can be used in research on energy metabolism
- Examine how nutrigenomic profiling can be used in research on human dietary requirements
- Describe the use of genomic methods to characterize the gut microbiome
- Reflect on the role of diet in gene expression
- Discuss nutrients and gene expression in cardiovascular disease
- Identify research priorities related to nutrigenomics and metabolomics

Post Graduate Course 2 - Update in Critical Care Nutrition: What is the State of Art? (PG2-2012)
Description:
This postgraduate course is designed for the practicing nutrition support specialist. It focuses on state of the art evaluation, monitoring, and delivery of appropriate focused nutrition support to the high risk medical and surgical intensive care unit (ICU) populations. The course begins with an overview of the problems associated with nutrition delivery to this patient population. The course will also examine: the pros and cons of enteral vs. parenteral feeding from a historical and scientific perspective; the appropriate ICU evaluation methods and the rational approach to determining the quantity of caloric requirements; the delivery of specific macronutrients and micronutrients in critical care settings; and the controversial aspectsof nutrients such as glutamine, arginine, fish oils and antioxidants. The course concludes with a panel discussion and case presentations that illustrate the complexities of critical care nutrition.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify which ICU patients will benefit from aggressive nutritional support.
- Determine whether to provide parenteral or enteral nutrition in the high risk medical and surgical ICU patient populations.
- Describe the concepts of pharmaconutrition, including when to prescribe fish oils, arginine and glutamine in the critically ill patient.
- Distinguish between science vs. quackery on probiotics, antioxidants, and nutritional supplements for hospital patients.
