It ends its peculiarities in each province. Objectives: to identify the most significant gastronomic modalities and to know the food consumption pattern and nutritional prolife of the community of Castilla-La Mancha (CCLM). ⋯ Conclusions: the gastronomy castellanomanchega is rich and varied offering a high quality. The food pattern is unbalanced showing a high intake of fats, especially saturated and protein, at the expense of carbohydrates. These disorders, together with inadequate consumption of micronutrients and the high weight taking rate, make it necessary to improve eating habits by means of nutritional training and dissemination strategies.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Accidental enteral feeding tube dislodgement with the use of a dedicated feeding tube attachment device versus adhesive tape as the securing method: a randomized clinical trial.
Introduction: accidental dislodgement of enteral feeding tubes has been considered as an important quality indicator of the efficacy of enteral nutrition therapy. However, in clinical practice, the use of feeding tube attachment devices (FTADs), as an alternative to the traditional method of adhesive tape alone, has not yet been evaluated for its effectiveness in reducing inadvertent tube dislodgement. Objective: to evaluate the impact of using a dedicated FTAD compared with the traditional securing method with adhesive tape on the occurrence of accidental enteral feeding tube removal. ⋯ During follow-up, patients in the FTAD group received a mean of 60.0% of the volume of enteral nutrition prescribed, while patients in the adhesive tape group received 57.0% (p = 0.61). There was no difference in skin lesions between the groups. Conclusion: the strategy of using a dedicated FTAD as the method for securing enteral feeding tubes did not reduce the risk of accidental tube dislodgement compared with the traditional securing method with adhesive tape.
