Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and Sarcopenia: A Controversy that must be Solved
Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for muscle loss and sarcopenia. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) or “gliflozins” are one of the newest anti-hyperglycemic drugs. They reduce blood glucose levels by inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption in the early proximal convoluted tubule. Various randomized trials showed that SGLT2i have cardio-protective and reno-protective action. SGLT2i also affect body composition. They usually decrease body fat percentage, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Enteral Feeding Intolerance in Critically ill Patients (NOFI): Mixed retrospective and prospective cohort study
Developing and validating a clinical prediction nomogram of enteral feeding intolerance (NOFI) in critically ill patients. So as to help clinicians implement pre-intervention for patients with high risk of enteral feeding intolerance (FI), formulate individualized feeding strategies, and reduce the probability of FI occurrence.

A nutritional supplement during preconception and pregnancy increases human milk vitamin D but not B-vitamin concentrations
Optimal maternal vitamin status during pregnancy and lactation is essential to support maternal and infant health. For instance, vitamin D3 is involved in infant bone development, and B-vitamins are involved in various metabolic processes, including energy production. Through a double-blind randomised controlled trial, we investigated the effects of maternal supplementation from preconception throughout pregnancy until birth on human milk (HM) concentrations of vitamin D3 and B-vitamins. In addition, we aimed to characterise longitudinal changes in milk concentrations of these vitamins. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

The 2023 Sir David Cuthbertson Lecture. A Fluid Journey: Experiments that Influenced Clinical Practice
This review summarises some of my work on fluid and electrolyte balance over the past 25 years and shows how the studies have influenced clinical practice. Missing pieces in the jigsaw will be filled in by summarising the work of others. The main theme is the chemical, physiological and clinical problems caused by inappropriate use of saline solutions including the hyperchloraemic acidosis caused by 0.9% saline. The importance of accurate and near-zero fluid balance in clinical practice is also emphasised. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

High protein provision of more than 1.2  g/kg improves muscle mass preservation and mortality in ICU patients: A systematic review and meta-analyses
ICU patients lose muscle mass rapidly and maintenance of muscle mass may contribute to improved survival rates and quality of life. Protein provision may be beneficial for preservation of muscle mass and other clinical outcomes, including survival. Current protein recommendations are expert-based and range from 1.2 to 2.0  g/kg. Thus, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on protein provision and all clinically relevant outcomes recorded in the available literature. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Evidence for the Protein Leverage Hypothesis in Preschool Children Prone to Obesity
The protein leverage hypothesis (PLH) proposed that strict regulation of protein intake drives energy overconsumption and obesity when diets are diluted by fat and/or carbohydrates. Evidence about the PLH has been found in adults, while studies in children are limited. Thus, we aimed to test the PLH by assessing the role of dietary protein on macronutrients, energy intake, and obesity risk using data from preschool children followed for 1.3 years.

Walnut Consumption and Gut Microbial Metabolism: Results of an Exploratory Analysis from a Randomized, Crossover, Controlled-Feeding Study
The effect of walnut-related modulation of gut microbiota composition on microbiota functionality is unknown. The aim was to characterize the effect of a walnut-enriched diet (WD), compared to a fatty acid-matched diet devoid of walnuts (WFMD) and a diet where oleic acid replaces alpha-linolenic acid (ORAD), on bacterial gene expression.
