Aging affects arginine, citrulline, and valine kinetics differently in males with chronic comorbidities
Rationale: Muscle weakness and loss are associated with aging (sarcopenia) and are even more prevalent when chronic morbidities are present. It remains unclear whether age-related protein and amino acid metabolic perturbations in older adults with chronic morbidities are different between males and females.

The effect of glycemic load and frequency of night shift meals on glycemic variability in female nurses
Rationale: In night shift workers, meal consumption late at night induced circadian misalignment and was associated with elevated blood glucose. We investigated whether meal glycemic load (high or low) and meal frequency (1 or 3 meals) consumed during night shifts modify various glycemic variability (GV) metrics.

Genome-wide association study identifies genetic variants indicating a role of impaired thyroid metabolism in selenium deficiency
Rationale: Serum selenium (Se) concentration differs between populations and may be impacted by genetic variations. Thus, we aimed to identify genetic variants associated with serum Se deficiency in Brazilian descendants. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Vegan diet and protein consumption during pregnancy effects neonate weight
Rationale: The popularity of vegan diet is on the rise. A balanced vegan diet has benefits and is considered safe at all stages of life. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of the nutritional composition of a vegan diet in pregnant women on the neonate ’s weight. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Examining the potential of available predictive algorithms for determining dietary iron absorption in South African children
This study aimed to (1) examine whether existing predictive algorithms accurately determine dietary iron absorption in 78 South African children aged 8-13 years and (2) determine whether the accuracy differed between HIV+ and HIV-ve children, females and males, iron-deficient and iron-sufficient children and children with and without inflammation.

Vitamin D deficiency contributes to overtraining syndrome in excessive trained C57BL/6 mice
Rationale: Overtraining syndrome is a condition resulting from excessive training load associated with inadequate recovery and poor sleep quality, leading to performance decrements and fatigue. Here we hypothesized that vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is a lead factor in the development of the overtraining syndrome. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Cheeses as a new source of bioactive metabolites impacting oxidative stress ?
Rationale: Oxidative stress is involved in developing and maintaining multiple diseases. Therefore, the discovery of new bioactive compounds to reduce oxidative stress is crucial. Among the natural bioactive compounds studied, microbial biodiversity remains largely unexplored, and raw milk cheese can be considered a "food bioreactor" because it is very rich in micro-organisms.

Disease recurrence and long-term outcomes following the development of intestinal failure in Crohn ’s disease: A 20-year experience from a national reference centre

Glim in patients on peritoneal dialysis: Impact of muscle mass assessment
Rationale: GLIM provides a scheme for diagnosing malnutrition in adults in clinical settings. Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are exposed to clinical conditions that may affect the measurement of muscle mass, which is one of the phenotypic criteria used in GLIM. We evaluated the performance of GLIM to diagnose malnutrition in patients on PD using different measurements of muscle mass. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Cystatin C as a marker of renal function in patients with chronic intestinal failure on long-term parenteral nutrition
Rationale: The estimation of renal function parameters is inaccurate in Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) patients on parenteral nutrition (PN). The aim of the present study is to assess the reliability of 3 CKD-EPI GFR estimating equations (eGFR) (Creatinine, Cystatin C or combined Creatinine/Cystatin C) compared to the Iohexol plasma clearance (mGFR) in patients on long-term PN (> 6 months) due to CIF.

Post-market use of teduglutide (TED) in a large cohort of adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS)
Rationale: TED, a GLP-2 analogue, is available in France since 2015 for the treatment of SBS patients with chronic intestinal failure CIF (SBS-CIF). The cost of this drug is high and there is few data about the potential candidates in real life. The aim of the study was to analyze in a real-life setting the implementation of TED in a cohort of SBS-CIF patients as well as the treatment outcomes. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Body mass index and weight loss for diagnosing Asian cachexia in chronic kidney disease
Rationale: The underweight and weight loss degree are the core diagnostic criteria for cachexia, one pathology of disease-related malnutrition. However, it is unclear whether it is appropriate to apply the same criteria between Asians and Westerners because the cut-off values for being underweight and the weight loss rate are assumed for Westerners.

Risk factors for diabetes mellitus after acute pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Rationale: Within five years of having acute pancreatitis (AP), three in five people develop prediabetes (PD) or diabetes mellitus (DM). Post-AP DM is associated with poorer long-term glycaemic control, higher all-cause mortality and cancer-related deaths (even excluding pancreatic cancer) comapred to patients with type 2 diabetes. However, information on risk factors is limited. We aimed to identify risk factors for developing PD or DM following AP. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
