Effect of fish oil intravenous lipid emulsion on lipoproteins in adults treated with parenteral nutrition: A subsudy of a clinical trial
Rationale: Omega-3 PUFAs are recognized for triglyceride-lowering effects. Hypertryglyceridemia (HTG) is a complication associated with the administration of intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLE). Objective: Determine the effect of fish oil (FO) based IVLE on plasma lipoprotein subfractions in patients treated with total PN. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

All-cause mortality incidence and overall survival for people over 50-years at risk of malnutrition living in the community: A cohort study
Rationale: Although adult malnutrition in acute care is associated with increased mortality, length of hospital stay and poorer clinical outcomes, the impact in community settings regarding mortality is uncertain. We aim to describe the association of malnutrition with mortality in community dwelling adults. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Glepaglutide efficacy and safety in short bowel syndrome patients without or with colon-in-continuity: Results of ease sbs 1 phase 3 trial
Rationale: Reducing parenteral support (PS) and achieving enteral autonomy (EA) are goals for short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients with intestinal failure (IF). Glepaglutide, a novel long-acting GLP-2 analog, was assessed for efficacy and safety in reducing PS needs in SBS-IF patients without or with colon-in-continuity (CiC).

A new sex-specific z-score for the appraisal of risk between sarcopenic obesity and all-cause mortality in a population-based study
Rationale: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a combination of low muscle function/mass and high-fat mass which are independently associated with mortality in older people. However, there is limited evidence linking SO to overall mortality. We aimed to determine the association between SO diagnosis criteria defined by cut-offs, as well as a new sex-specific SO z-score, and all-cause mortality in a large-scale population-based setting.

Malnutrition despite obesity – A Nutritionday analysis of European nursing home residents
Rationale: Obesity does not exclude malnutrition (MN). MN is often unrecognized in people with obesity. This work aims to analyze MN prevalence (subjective and objective) in European nursing home residents with obesity. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Liver fibrosis score AARPRI predicts gynecological cancers in metabolic women
Rationale: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), specifically steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis, represents a clinical manifestation of increased visceral adipose tissue amount and adiposopathy, whose pathogenetic features have been proposed as tumorigenic triggers.

Estimation of body weight from selected body circumferences in hospital setting
Rationale: In hospital settings, body weight (BW) measurement, cannot often be done, despite the fact that it is indispensable to justify nutritional and pharmacologic interventions. To be able to monitor the BW and define the dynamic of hospital malnutrition, it is pertinent to pursue an estimate of BW using accessible body circumference (BC) variables, as described in the current study.

Branched-chain amino acids and diet
Rationale: Higher levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAA, isoleucine, leucine, and valine) increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Diet is the only source of BCAAs, but previous studies have shown conflicting data on the influence of diet on human plasma BCAA concentration. Hence, we evaluated the association between BCAA concentration and diet in a large sample from Switzerland. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Nutritional factors in adolescence are associated with cardiovascular risk factor in young adulthood. A longitudinal observational study
Rationale: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide and originate in the first decades of life. A better understanding of their early determinants would allow for better prevention. The impact of processed food consumption and diet quality on adult cardiovascular health are well documented but have never been assessed during adolescence. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of processed food consumption and diet quality during adolescence on adult cardiovascular status, using the PDAY (Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth) risk score.

Identification of a novel score for adherence to the mediterranean diet that is inversely associated with visceral adiposity and cardiovascular risk: The chrono med diet score (CMDS)
Rationale: We verified whether existing validated MedDiet scores, namely MEDI-LITE and Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), are associated with visceral adiposity. Failing to find a significant association, we proposed the validation of a new adherence questionnaire to the MedDiet, the Chrono Med-Diet score (CMDS) that, focusing on type and timing of carbohydrates intake, identifies subjects with abdominal obesity.

A comparative study that investigates diagnostic value of new predictors of insulin resistance in identifying glucose metabolism disturbance
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and diagnostic value of different IR predictors in Chinese adults, including the triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratio, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, TyG-BMI, TyG-Waist circumference (WC), Visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), and estimate of insulin sensitivity (e-IS).

Bifidobacterium bifidum is associated with improvements in glycated hemoglobin after gastric bypass
Rationale: Bifidobacterium bifidum is one of the most commonly found Bifidobacteria in healthy adults, and the genus Bifidobacteria has been negatively associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Since bariatric surgery can promote changes in gut microbiota, we evaluated the associations between Bifidobacterium bifidum and biomarkers of glycemic control of T2D women three months after Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass surgery (RYGB).
