Association between weight loss agents and elevated liver enzymes: a population-based cross-sectional study
This study aimed to investigate the associations between weight loss agents and elevated liver enzymes at the population-level. We conducted a cross-sectional study using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data from 2013 to 2019. This study included 36,259 participants over 20 years of age who completed the questionnaire and had no history of hepatitis, cancer, or renal failure. In these participants, we analyzed associations between weight loss agents and elevated liver enzymes by constructing multiple logistic regression models with adjustment for confounding factors and stratified by sex, a...

Catechin hydrate ameliorates cerulein ‑induced chronic pancreatitis via the inactivation of TGF‑β/Smad2 signaling
Mol Med Rep. 2023 Nov;28(5):208. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2023.13095. Epub 2023 Sep 21.ABSTRACTChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a pancreatic inflammatory disease associated with histological changes, including fibrosis, acinar cell loss and immune cell infiltration, and leads to damage of the pancreas, which results in pain, weight loss and loss of pancreas function. Catechin or catechin hydrate (CH) has antioxidant, anticancer and immune‑regulatory effects. However, unlike other catechins, the antifibrotic effects of (+)‑CH have not been widely studied in many diseases, including CP. Therefore, the anti‑fibrotic effects of (+)â...

Modeling and investigation of swelling kinetics of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/starch/citric acid superabsorbent polymer
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Sep 19:127013. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCrosslinked hydrophilic polymers with high water absorption rates are known as superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). Most commercial superabsorbent polymers are made with acrylic acid, which is difficult to biodegrade. So, in this investigation, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was utilized as a significant component in the synthesis of polysaccharide-based SAPs. Citric acid (CA) and starch were chosen as crosslinking agents because they are more eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable than traditional crosslinking agents....

Weight gain following a change from Home Parenteral Nutrition to Intravenous Fluids only
Patient A, a 66 year old female was admitted to hospital with a prolapsed bowel leading to a small bowel resection and end ileostomy. She had a history of steroid induced diabetes mellitus and chronically infected leg ulcers. Repeated admissions to hospital with a high output ileostomy due to infections deranged electrolytes and weight loss resulted in commencement of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) under the care of the intestinal failure team.

Development of a digital, nutrition self-screening tool in response to Covid-19; empowering people with cancer to self-manage
People with cancer who have a good nutritional status benefit from improved treatment tolerance, improved outcomes and better quality of life1. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Oncology Dietitians noted significantly fewer face to face contacts between people with cancer and Health Care Professionals (HCPs). As a result, people at all stages of their cancer journey were less likely to have their nutritional problems identified and treated (e.g. unintended weight loss went unnoticed) and to ask their HCPs for advice.

Enhanced biofuel production by co-pyrolysis of distiller's grains and waste plastics: A quantitative appraisal of kinetic behaviors and product characteristics
In this study, the co-pyrolysis of a common biomass, i.e. distiller's grains (DG), and waste polypropylene plastic (PP) were investigated towards increasing the quantity and quality of the production of biofuel. Results from the thermogravimetric analyses showed that the reaction interval of individual pyrolysis of DG and PP was 124-471 °C and 260-461 °C, respectively. Conversely, an interaction effect between DG and PP was observed during co-pyrolysis, resulting in a slower rate of weight loss, a longer temperature range for the pyrolysis reaction, and an increase in the temperature difference between the evolution of p...

Highlighting the idea of exerkines in the management of cancer patients with cachexia: novel insights and a critical review
CONCLUSION: Our understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms related to the significance of investigating exerkines in cancer cachexia is currently quite basic. Nonetheless, this demonstrated that resistance and aerobic exercise can contribute to the reduction and control of the disease in individuals with cancer cachexia, as well as in survivors, by inducing changes in exerkines.PMID:37730552 | DOI:10.1186/s12885-023-11391-3

Polycystic Kidney Disease Diet: What Is Known and What Is Safe
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000326. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by kidney cyst formation and progressive kidney function loss. Dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and the ketogenic diet have recently emerged as potential strategies to induce metabolic reprogramming and slow ADPKD progression. We review the available evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of these interventions in ADPKD. Dietary interventions show promise in managing ADPKD by improving metabo...
