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.

When Can We Start Early Enteral Nutrition Safely in Patients with Shock on Vasopressors?
Shock is a common critical illness characterized by microcirculatory disorders and insufficient tissue perfusion. Patients with shock and hemodynamic instability generally require vasopressors to maintain the target mean arterial pressure. Enteral nutrition (EN) is an important therapeutic intervention in critically ill patients and has unique benefits for intestinal recovery. However, the initiation of early EN in patients with shock receiving vasopressors remains controversial. Current guidelines make conservative and vague recommendations regarding early EN support in patients with shock. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Evaluating the influence of ultra-processed food intake on associations between dietary indices with systemic inflammation in adulthood and old ages
Low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI) is critical to developing many chronic diseases. In turn, it has been shown that the diet can modulate favorably or unfavorably the inflammatory status. Thus, evaluating the diet from appropriate approaches is fundamental; to do so, there are different proposals for dietary indexes. We aimed to: (i) investigate the association between three well-known dietary indexes and LGSI biomarkers; (ii) test these associations individually or in combination with an indicator of ultra-processed foods (UFPs) intake.

Impacts of fluid retention on prognostic abilities of cachexia diagnostic criteria in cancer patients with refractory cachexia
The international cancer cachexia criteria with a cutoff of 5% weight loss (WL) was proposed in Western patients. The Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) developed new criteria in Asian patients. The AWGC criteria are not cancer-specific and employ a cutoff of 2% WL. However, it is unclear whether both criteria are useful in patients with very advanced cancer because WL can be underestimated owing to fluid retention. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impacts of fluid retention on the prognostic abilities of both criteria in cancer patients with weeks of survival. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
