The incidence and mortality of refeeding syndrome in older hospitalized patients, based on three different diagnostic criteria: a longitudinal study
Refeeding syndrome (RFS) lacks both a global definition and diagnostic criteria. Different diagnostic criteria are used; serum phosphate (traditional criterion (TC)), the Friedli consensus recommendations, and the ASPEN. We investigated the incidence of RFS in older hospitalized patients and the mortality rates in patients with or without RFS using these three different diagnostic criteria.

Osmolality in oral supplements drives ileostomy output: defining the Goldilocks zone
Patients with an ileostomy often have impaired quality of life, sodium depletion, secondary hyperaldosteronism, and other organ-specific pathologies. The osmolality of oral supplements influences ileostomy output and increases sodium loss. We hypothesized the existence of an osmolality range in which fluid absorption and secondary natriuresis are optimal. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Life ’s Essential 8 Metrics and Mortality Outcomes in Insulin Resistance: The Role of Inflammation, Vascular Aging, and Gender
Insulin resistance (IR) elevates cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks. Insulin resistance (IR) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and mortality. Recently, the American Heart Association introduced the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) framework to assess cardiovascular health (CVH). However, its impact on mortality in IR populations is unknown.

Effectiveness of a multidisciplinary and transitional nutritional intervention compared with standard care on health-related quality of life among acutely admitted medical patients aged ≥65 years with malnutrition or risk of malnutrition: A randomized controlled trial
Malnutrition, risk of malnutrition, and risk factors for malnutrition are prevalent among acutely admitted medical patients aged ≥65 years and have significant health-related consequences. Consequently, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary and transitional nutritional intervention on health-related quality of life compared with standard care.

Approximately 50% of acute intestinal failure (AIF) patients on short term parenteral nutrition (PN) have intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) without effect on hospital length of stay and mortality
Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are often dependent on PN for provision of calories and nutrients for survival. Similar to chronic intestinal failure (CIF) patients, those who have AIF are also at risk of IFALD, which is a poorly understood but potentially fatal condition. The local incidence of IFALD amongst AIF patients is not known. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Characteristics and outcome of patients referred to a specialized outpatient clinic for the management of malnutrition: a retrospective audit
Insufficient screening and management of malnutrition leads to increase morbidity and mortality. Aims: to evaluate the characteristics and clinical outcomes of malnourished patients referred to a specialized outpatient clinic for the management of malnutrition (primary); to compare the latter according to malnutrition severity; to determine the factors associated with severe malnutrition and mortality; to compare the consistency of the decided medical nutrition therapy with the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines (secondary).

Postoperative Sarcopenia Increases Both Gastric Cancer and Other-Cause Mortality in Older Adults Undergoing Radical Gastrectomy for Cancer
Preoperative sarcopenia in gastric cancer is associated with increased postoperative complications and reduced long-term survival. However, the association between postoperative sarcopenia and long-term outcomes remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the association between sarcopenia after gastrectomy for gastric cancer and survival outcomes. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Reappraisal of serum retinol-binding protein as a surrogate marker for retinol and discovery of a novel retinol estimation formula
Serum retinol (ROH) is commonly used for population level assessment of vitamin A status. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is considered most accurate method for measuring ROH. However, with the technical difficulty of using HPLC for routine assays, serum retinol-binding protein (RBP) measured by immunological assays is expected to be a surrogate marker for ROH, with reports of a close correlation between serum RBP and ROH. Nevertheless, RBP is not commonly tested to assess vitamin A status with concerns over RBP alterations under various physiopathological conditions. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Malnutrition Screening Tool and Nutritional Screening Tool for classification of nutritional risk in patients with cancer upon hospital admission: Comparison of diagnostic performance using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria as reference.
Tools for screening of nutrition risk in patients with cancer are usually validated against other screening instruments. Here with the performance of Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) and Nutritional Screening Tool (NUTRISCORE) to identify the risk of malnutrition was assessed. A full nutritional evaluation and diagnosis following criteria from the Global Leadership Initiative of Malnutrition (GLIM) was the reference standard for the classification of malnutrition.

Are Resting Metabolic Rate and Clinical Symptoms Affected by Variation of Serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels within the Normal Range in Healthy and Women with Hypothyroidism? A Case-Control Study
It is unclear whether variation in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels within the reference range affect energy expenditure and clinical symptoms and even within the normal range of TSH levels, resting energy expenditure may alter. The aim of the present study was to determine whether treated hypothyroid subjects and healthy subjects with a low-normal TSH range (0.3 –2.3 mIU/L) have better clinical outcomes and increased energy expenditure than those with a high-normal TSH range (2.3–4.3 mIU/L).

Causal association of polyunsaturated fatty acids with biliary tract diseases: a Mendelian randomization study
The evidence connecting polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to biliary problems is still highly contested and speculative despite the fact that biliary diseases are common and PUFAs have long been studied for their potential health benefits. This work used Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques in conjunction with genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to clarify the causal relationships between PUFAs and biliary tract diseases.
