Glycemic effects of daytime compared to overnight home parenteral nutrition infusions in adults with short bowel syndrome
Rationale: In healthy adults, dietary intake late at night is associated with persistent hyperglycemia. However, it is common for patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) dependent on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) to cycle their infusions overnight. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Higher metabolic rate during sedentary, eucaloric conditions predicts long-term weight gain: The role of ethnic differences on adjusted energy expenditure
Rationale: In accordance with the concept of energy sensing driving overeating, individuals with relatively higher 24-h energy expenditure (24hEE, adjusted for body composition and demographics) may be more susceptible to gain weight due to disproportionally higher energy intake. However, adjusted 24hEE differs among races/ethnicities with Blacks/Native Americans having on average lower/higher adjusted 24hEE than Whites, respectively. It is unclear whether the relationship between adjusted 24hEE and future weight change may be contingent on ethnic differences in adjusted24hEE. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Intervention with oral nutrition supplements with B-hydroxy-B-methylbutyrate and vitamin D in malnourished oncology outpatients associated with reduced healthcare resource utilization and costs
Rationale: Patients with cancer have special nutrition needs to support them during treatment which can be met with specialized oral nutrition supplements (ONS). We analyzed healthcare resource use and cost data from a retrospective study in malnourished oncology patients that previously reported benefits of an HMB+oral nutritional supplement (HMB-ONS)1.

Effect of nutrition and cross-training routine in body composition, quality of life and physical performance in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia de novo during induction phase
Rationale: Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing induction therapy decrease their physical capacity, lose muscle mass, and decrease their quality of life. The safety, feasibility, and benefits of exercise during chemotherapy have been proven, but the effects of cross-training exercises have not been analyzed compared with resistance exercises.

Managing oral diet following a diagnosis of sub-acute malignant bowel obstruction: Results of the 4-step bounced diet feasibility study
Rationale: Symptom burden is high in patients with malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) and adversely affects oral intake. The 4-step BOUNCED bowel obstruction diet educates patients to self-manage oral intake according to symptoms. It includes clear fluids, thin liquids, pur ée, and soft sloppy foods which are low fibre. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Cancer-associated cachexia: Evaluation of lipolysis markers by QRT-PCR in subcutaneous adipose tissue of gastrointestinal cancer patients
Rationale: Enhanced lipolysis and inhibition of adipogenesis are implicated in adipose tissue loss in cachexia. However, these mechanisms are not completely clarified in patients with cancer. We investigated the expression levels of lipolysis-associated genes in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in newly diagnosed gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients according to the presence/absence of cachexia (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Once-weekly (QW) apraglutide decreases parenteral support (PS) in short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) and colon-in-continuity (CIC)
Rationale: SBS-IF is a severe organ failure condition with life-long PS dependence. Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) stimulates intestinal adaptation resulting in increased absorptive capacity of nutrients and fluids. Apraglutide (APRA) is a novel long-acting synthetic GLP-2 analog in development for SBS-IF. STARS Nutrition is a 52-W phase 2 study in adults with SBS-IF and CiC. This pre-defined interim analysis assesses safety and efficacy of QW subcutaneous APRA in reducing PS at 24W. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
