With nearly 800 responses, MAND leadership had a lot of feedback to review. You had a lot to tell us, with specific themes focusing on:Lack of diversity within the professionMajority concern about inclusiveness within MAND and the professionConcerns about barriers within the profession, such as the unpaid internship and eventual graduate degree requirementsThe cost of AND/MAND membership relative to valueWeight-neutral approaches to nutrition counselingProviding retirees opportunities to engage more deeply with students and professionalsLack of employer support for dues, meetings, time-offWork and family commitments relative to MAND participationLack of knowledge about the MAND Foundation and how donations are usedWhile MAND leaders were processing this survey information with a particular focus on diversity and inclusion, Minnesota and the country learned about the death of George Floyd. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging (DIEB) ad hoc committee was formed, our work continued in analyzing the survey data, and our Strategic Planning Committee began its work on the next 3-year plan. The Annual Conference Committee was also planning for 2021 and chose our theme of “Progressing Through the Pandemics,” addressing the current moment with respect to COVID-19, health inequities and systemic racism in our country. MAND is offering participants to learn more about this work, with a separate session on our DIEB framework and offering sessions to explore the formation of Affinity Groups. These four potential Affinity Groups emerged from our survey data and, if formed, would provide support and spaces for individuals who identify as Students, Retirees, LGBTQIA+ and/or Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about MAND’s proposed Student Board and is prepared to let the remaining Affinity Groups determine their purpose and structure, while providing administrative support as needed. Any recommendations that might emerge from these three groups with respect to MAND policies and activities will be fielded by our new DIEB Committee.Whether there is great or minimal interest in forming these Affinity Groups, MAND will continue to imbed DIEB into everything we do. We hope that you will support this work and learn more about how you can be an ally in your community, in our workplace and within MAND.AGENDA-AT-A-GLANCEMONDAY, MAY 3rd9:00-10:15amWELCOMEIt’s Been A Year!MAND 2020-2021 AccomplishmentsAwards and ScholarshipsEmily Parent, MFCS, RD, LD, MAND PresidentKristen Williamson, MBA, RDN, LD, MAND Foundation President It has been a busy, productive year for MAND!

The goal of the process is reinstatement of cellular homeostasis, which involves cell mediators that induce a response progression. Eicosanoids are influential mediators derived from fatty acids that regulate both pro-inflammatory actions and inflammation resolution. Through the process of lipid class switching, pro-inflammatory mediators that aid in attack of foreign bodies (e.g. infection, trauma), are replaced by specialized pro-resolving mediators which stop the process, clean up cellular debris, and result in homeostasis. Unresolved or dysregulated inflammation results in chronic inflammation that can lead to irreversible morbidities such as fibrosis. Chronic critical illness is a modern phenomenon where dysregulated inflammation and infection susceptibility along with loss of lean body mass refractory to nutrition intervention induces prolonged ICU stays, now identified as Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolic Syndrome, or PICS. Increased resting energy expenditure and alteration in metabolism of all macronutrients occur during PICS. Treatment of malnutrition in PICS is difficult and not well-defined. Approaches include utilization of aggressive enteral nutrition with high protein provisions, immune-modulating formulas, resistance exercise, supplemental parenteral nutrition, and lipid provisions including omega-3 fatty acids. Future nutrition support options for (Continued):modulating inflammatory responses may include therapeutic specialized pro-resolving mediators, glutamine, leucine, and/or arginine; however, research is still needed to determine impact on patient outcomes. The treatment of malnutrition and prevention of cachexia in patients with chronic critical illness is an enormous challenge that we must address to improve patient outcomes including quality of life. Participants will:Describe how the protective nature of inflammation can become dysregulated and harmful.List fatty acid-derived inflammatory mediators & describe their role in critical illness.Identify nutrition support provisions which may modulate the inflammatory process.

At a systemic level, CDI produces a robust immune and inflammatory response. To date, the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of CDI has been largely overlooked but could have profound impacts on disease management at both a local (i.e. colonic) and systemic level. Further, the increasing application of intestinal microbiota therapy (IMT) to treat CDI offers a novel opportunity for nutrition professionals to participate in optimizing outcomes following IMT therapy. Participants will: Recognize the nutritional implications of a C. difficile infection at both a systemic and local (i.e. colonic) level.Be introduced to the intestinal microbiota transplant (IMT) therapy.Be able to identify nutritional targets following IMT therapy for C. difficile infection.
