SANCHEZ-MUNIZ, Francisco J.. Dissemination of clinical nutrition through societies and scientific journals. A meeting at the Spanish Royal Academy of Pharmacy. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.3, pp.738-742. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.1926.

This special article defines very briefly some central aspects of artificial nutrition as nutritional support in special situations in patients that are not able to maintain a sufficient and adequate digestive function to restore or maintain optimal nutritional status or in those who are malnourished or in the way to be. It also reviews the central aspects of a round table attended by executives of journals and scientific entities in the field of health and, in particular, of nutrition. The roundtable was organized under the auspices of a tribute to Dr. Jesus M. Culebras, in January 2018 at the headquarters of the Spanish Royal Academy of Pharmacy. Prof. Culebras was founder of the journal Nutrición Hospitalaria journal and architect of many achievements and initiatives of the Spanish Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition of great importance for nutrition and artificial nutrition in Spain. During the workshop, the convenience of increasing collaboration between the scientific journals Nutrición Hospitalaria, Farmacia Hospitalaria, Anales de la Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia and Journal of Negative and No Positive Results and the entities they represent was highlighted, especially concerning the framework of clinical nutrition and, particularly, artificial feeding, insisting on the need to initiate a series of meetings in the very near future with the purpose of delimiting competencies and rights, and taking joint positions in publications, and consensus agreements that would guarantee the dissemination and visibility of this issue of enormous importance for health.
