Aerobic exercise preconditioning does not further augment muscle hypertrophy during subsequent resistance exercise training in older adults
Rationale: It has been hypothesized that aerobic exercise training induced adaptation is a prerequisite to maximize muscle hypertrophy during subsequent resistance exercise training in older adults. We assessed whether 8 weeks of aerobic exercise preconditioning prior to 12 weeks of resistance exercise training further augments gains in muscle mass and strength in older adults.

Are free-living older adults at a higher risk of falls if they fail to meet the UK guidelines for diet: A cross-sectional study using the UK Biobank
Rationale: Each year, falls occur in 30% of adults over 65 years and are associated with fragility fractures, reduced quality of life, hospitalisation and mortality (1). Given the association between lifestyle behaviours and the risk of falls, this study will consider how adherence to the current UK dietary guidelines relates to the likelihood of falling in the previous 12 months.

Short-term inulin supplementation comparably alters short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in healthy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects
Rationale: The intestinal microbiota composition is altered in COPD but we previously did not observe differences in SCFA production, i.e. beneficial metabolites mainly produced through microbial fiber fermentation. The response of SCFA production to fiber supplementation has not been studied in COPD. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Western diet prevents intestinal inflammation and fibrosis in a dss-induced model of colitis
Rationale: Intestinal fibrosis is a major complication of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and remains without specific treatment. Because western dietary pattern is associated with increased IBD incidence and promotes extra-intestinal fibrosis, we hypothesized that western diet (WD) may influence intestinal fibrosis development. The aim was to assess WD consumption on inflammation and intestinal fibrosis in murine colitis models. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Determinants of parenteral nutrition (PN) weaning in a pediatric cohort of short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients in the era of GLP-2 analogue treatment
Rationale: SBS is the main cause of chronic intestinal failure. New treatments such as GLP-2 analogues aim at improving intestinal mucosal trophicity and absorption while reducing PN dependence. The aim was to identify the factors determining PN weaning in children with SBS. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Predictors of home parenteral support (HPS) weaning in intestinal failure patients with Crohn ’s disease
Rationale: Crohn ’s Disease(CD) is a major cause of intestinal failure(IF), with an uncertain prognosis due to changing disease characteristics and bowel anatomy over time. We aim to characterise these changing factors and predict HPS wean. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Does whole body measured splanchnic extraction of amino acids with stable isotopes tracers in the prandial state represent tracee splanchnic extraction?
Rationale: Establishing the metabolic fate of nutrients coming from food intake is critical for the interpretation of the benefits of a food intervention. With a combination of enteral and parenteral administration of tracer stable isotopes like L-phenylalanine (Phe) during feeding, first-pass tracer splanchnic extraction (SPE) of that amino acid can be determined on a whole body level (WbSPE). Tracer WbSPE is often suggested to relate to the tracee SPE, but conducting invasive studies across the human splanchnic area to confirm this is difficult. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

The response of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production to inulin supplementation is reduced in very old adults compared to younger age groups
Rationale: Beneficial SCFA are produced by intestinal microbial fiber fermentation. We observed lower SCFA production in older adults but it remains unclear if fiber supplementation increases production in the aging population. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Reproducibility of 35 plasma polyphenol concentrations and their association with colon cancer risk in a japanese middle-aged population
Rationale: Epidemiological studies that assessed the associations between dietary polyphenol intakes and colon cancer risk have reported largely null results, possibly due to measurement error associated with dietary assessment. The reproducibility of plasma polyphenol measurements is largely unknown as plasma polyphenol concentrations are typically measured in a single blood sample in most prospective studies.
