Energy and nutrient intake in older adults with healthy aging during the Corona Virus Disease 19 pandemic – a cohort study
Lockdown measures implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic promoted changes in lifestyle, particularly engagement in physical activity/exercise and dietary intake. However, few studies are available investigating the healthy older population, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy and nutrient intake among older adults with successful aging and to evaluate changes in muscle mass, strength and physical performance.

Effect of non-pharmacological intervention on the nutritional status of patients with Prader Willi Syndrome
Obesity is highly prevalent in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), particularly among adults. This condition, which can be morbid in many cases, is multifactorial and has a complex management. The purpose of our study was to describe the feasibility of achieving a better nutritional status, including normal weight in individuals diagnosed with PWS, through specific nutritional interventions within the framework of a transdisciplinary treatment and without resorting to pharmacological treatments or growth hormone (GH).

Blood urea nitrogen has a nonlinear association with 3-month outcomes with acute ischemic stroke: a second analysis based on a prospective cohort study
Evidence regarding the relationship between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and 3-month outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients is still scarce. Therefore, the present study was preformed to explore the link between the BUN and 3-month poor outcomes in patients with AIS. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Muscle mass evaluation in hospitalized patients: comparison between doubly indirect methods
Loss of muscle mass (MM) in hospitalized patients has been associated with negative outcomes, thus, evaluating this biomarker is important to stratify risk. Although studies have been showing that calf circumference (CC) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are valid for estimating MM in hospitalized patients, we do not know if they are associated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between CC and BIA in hospitalized patients Methods: A cross-sectional study, in hospitalized patients ’ post-acute cardiac event.

Usefulness of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in preoperative nutritional assessment of patients with primary lung cancer
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) developed a new method for evaluating malnutrition; however, no consensus has been reached regarding the use of these criteria. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional status assessed using the GLIM criteria and outcomes of lung cancer after surgery. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Prognostic value of age in body composition changes among prostate cancer patients treated with hormone and radiotherapy
Rationale: Hormone therapy for prostate cancer patients can lead to changes in body composition, impacting overall health. Understanding the extent of these changes can help the development of personalized interventions to mitigate their effects. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Feasibility of prebiotic enteral nutrition provision during allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Rationale: Decline in gastrointestinal microbial diversity and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels during allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) has been associated with poorer patient outcomes1. Evidence on prebiotic fibre enteral nutrition (EN) and its impact on the microbiome during SCT is lacking. This pilot study aimed to investigate feasibility of prebiotic EN provision and evaluate tolerance, clinical and microbiological outcomes in comparison to standard fibre free EN.

Micrornas expression profile in skeletal muscle of patients with gastrointestinal cancer
Rationale: microRNAs (miRs) were shown to regulate signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cancer cachexia (CC). However, their biological roles in CC are still poorly explored. Aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of muscle-derived miR486-5p and miR15b-5p, which both have been found to have a regulatory effect on inflammatory pathways as well as on modulation of protein synthesis and skeletal muscle (SM) homeostasis, making them attractive as early non-invasive diagnostic targets and potential novel therapeutic candidates for CC.

Development and application of the cancer cachexia staging index for the diagnosis and staging of cancer cachexia
Rationale: The current tools for evaluating cancer cachexia are either too simple to reflect the far-reaching effects of cachexia or too complicated to be used in daily practice. We aim to develop a Cancer Cachexia Staging Index (CCSI) that is both practical and comprehensive. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
