Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Following the success of the first edition, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second edition of the Special Issue “Nutrition in Patient Care.” Nutrition plays an increasingly recognized role in patient outcomes across all clinical settings—from prevention and treatment to recovery and rehabilitation. As healthcare systems face evolving challenges, the integration of evidence-based nutritional strategies remains essential for improving care quality and patient well-being.
We invite researchers, clinicians, dietitians, and healthcare professionals to contribute original research articles, reviews, case studies, and practice-based insights that explore the impact of nutrition on clinical care. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, clinical nutrition interventions, malnutrition screening, nutritional support in disease management, interdisciplinary approaches, and innovations in personalized nutrition.
