[Comparative biological value of the proteins comprising the products for the tube and regular feeding of patients with mandibular fractures].

A comparative clinical evaluation was made of the biological effectiveness of protein components in the composition of three types of diet for patients with fractures of the mandible who had received "Ensure" (USA), a product for complete tube feeding; an experimental sample developed at the Institute of Nutrition, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR; and a routine clinical diet. The biological effectiveness of the proteins was estimated by some anthropometric and biochemical parameters as well as on the basis of nitrogenous metabolism in the patients. It has been established that the protein content in the routine clinical diets does not meet the high requirements in amino acids of patients with fracture of the mandible. In this respect the products for tube and dietotherapy have proved to be effective and completely provide the need of such patients in essential amino acids that has been evidenced by the results of the investigations conducted.

Forecasting menu-item demand in foodservice operations.

The state of the practice in forecasting menu-item demand in foodservice operations was determined. A survey to assess the forecasting techniques utilized by foodservice directors was administered to a random sample of 834 American Dietetic Association Members with Management Responsibilities in Health Care Delivery System. Statistical analysis of the 392 responses revealed that less than 25% of the practitioners were using mathematical models in forecasting menu-item demand. Naive models were utilized by the majority of the respondents. The moving average technique was the most frequently used (14.8%) mathematical model. Approximately 75% of the practitioners indicated that continuing education is needed relative to the forecasting techniques that may be employed in foodservice management.
