It is our great pleasure to announce the details of our annual Round Table! The session will take place on June 18th, 16:00-18:00. We have two amazing speakers lined up, who will talk about different micronutrients in the ICU.

Vitamins are essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly. Intake via the diet is often inadequate compared to recommendations. An optimal nutritional status of vitamins provides health benefits. In the webinar examples with the role of optimal vitamin status for long-term health will be presented.

Some interesting new work was published on the relationship between vitamin D levels and COVID-19 severity.

Dear members of the round table and interested parties, as the year is nearing its end, we felt it was time for some reflection and plan-making, which we would like to share with you!

This year the CMSM was again present at the after-ESPEN symposium. These sessions are organised by NESPEN, the Dutch branch of ESPEN, and discuss key talks and main takeaways of the ESPEN congress. 

Last week, a very interesting review paper came out that looks at the "main form and functions, special needs and risk factors, optimal treatment strategies, pharmacological dosing, and clinical implications". The researchers looked at several previous studies that investigated micronutrients, including vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, folate,C, D, and E, and copper, iron, selenium, zinc, and carnitine.
