Analysis of clinical outcomes in nutritional screenings in a prospective multicenter study on the global leadership initiative on malnutrition: GLIM-BR group
Rationale: GLIM recommends nutritional screening as a first step. The actual tools were validated for over 20 years and may present limitations.We hypothesized that a group of truly at-risk patients may not be identified by screening and consequently not be evaluated by the GLIM.

Body composition and malnutrition in chronic intestinal failure patients
Rationale: Chronic intestinal failure (CIF) mainly results from short bowel syndrome (SBS) or intestinal dysmotility (ID), and their primary, life-saving treatment is home parenteral nutrition (HPN). CIF patients are generally at high risk of malnutrition with an unfavourable body composition, i.e. low fat-free and high-fat mass. Since data are lacking, taking into account the background of CIF (SBS or ID), this study aimed to describe body composition and the prevalence of malnutrition in our concurrent CIF population.

Are you metacognitively aware of your food knowledge?
Rationale: Metacognition is the ability to be aware of our own behaviours and cognitive processes and to modulate them. It is assessed as our capacity to accurately evaluate our cognitive performance. We sought to demonstrate whether people have metacognition for their knowledge of foodstuffs. We expected that in the general population, people are able to accurately evaluate their knowledge of food characteristics. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Staff identification of malnutrition is much more relevant for nutrition care actions than objective malnutrition criteria – A nutritionday study
Rationale: Malnutrition (MN) is widespread among hospital patients but often unrecognized, and it is unknown which nutrition care actions (NCA) are usually taken. Aim of this analysis was to examine the prevalence of specific NCA overall and in malnourished patients using different MN definitions. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Compatibility of nanoparticulate iv iron with all-in-one parenteral nutrition admixtures tested by ICP-MS
Rationale: Free, polyvalent iron (Fe) shows redox reactivity, toxic radical formation, and incompatibilities. Fe deficiency is a prevalent condition often requiring IV Fe infusion. When parenteral nutrition (PN) is also needed, as in neonates or IBD patients, combined treatment is limited due to lack of stability and compatibility. Selected IV Fe nanoparticles could overcome this issue. The aim of this project was to investigate stability and compatibility of different Fe nanoparticles admixed to all-in-one (AiO) PN admixtures at therapeutic daily Fe doses of 200 mg.

Insights from home parenteral nutrition infusion data
Rationale: Patients with intestinal failure are trained to use Home infusion of Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) using smart infusion pumps (1). With clinical resources often remote, follow ups are based on lab results and subjective patient report, leaving the patient at risk of non-compliance. Objective delivery data from Infusion Pump have the potential to support treatment progress. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and accuracy of Eitan Insights digital health platform for home TPN use (a platform providing data driven insights from the pump recorded data).

Detrimental weight loss is exacerbated by bridging therapies in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy
Rationale: CAR T-cell therapy is revolutionising the treatment of previously incurable cancers; however, our research has identified several associations between poor nutritional status and adverse outcomes, including body weight (BW) loss prior to treatment1. Additional anti-cancer Bridging Therapies (BTs) are commonly used pre-treatment to avoid disease progression during the long CAR T manufacturing process. The aim of this data review was to evaluate the effect of BTs on BW in patients prior to CAR T-cell therapy. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Developing the use of electronic patient reported outcomes to implement dietetic intervention for a pilot survivorship clinic for women diagnosed with breast and gynaecological cancer in ireland: The women ’s health initiative LYSA study
Rationale: Diet has been reported to be a key component to optimal outcomes in cancer patients and survivors1. Due to the increasing number of cancer survivors, the need to develop innovative pathways of co-ordinated care to manage the nutrition-related symptoms and side effects of treatment has never been more pertinent.

Morphofunctional assessment in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Use of new assessment tools
Rationale: Patients with head and neck cancer often present poor nutritional status due to the location of the tumor and treatment with radiotherapy. This weight loss can occur at the expense of muscle mass, with sarcopenia being a prognostic factor for lower survival. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Preoperative leptin fat mass ratio is not a predictive factor of weight loss after bariatric surgery
Rationale: Leptino-resistance (LR) in obese patients may influence weight loss after bariatric surgery, as it decreases leptin ’s action on satiety and energy expenditure. Leptin Fat mass Ratio (LFR) reflects LR through high fat-mass-adjusted plasmatic leptin, and was studied here as a potential predictive factor of weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery.

Possibility of perilipin5 as a therapeutic target for anti-obesity and anti-metabolic diseases
Rationale: Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is present on the surface of lipid droplets and is involved in lipid droplet homeostasis by regulating fatty acid storage and release. However, the role of PLIN5 in the interaction mechanism between mitochondria and lipid droplets remains unclear. Therefore, investigating the role of PLIN5 in this process is crucial in understanding lipid metabolism homeostasis and its potential as a therapeutic target for treating obesity and metabolic diseases.
