Background: The SARC-CalF was developed as a screening tool for sarcopenia, but little is still known about its validity in surgical patients. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prognostic value of SARC-CalF in predicting clinical outcomes in patients admitted for any elective surgery in a hospital.
Methods: Cohort study with prospective data collection of surgical patients ≥18 years of age screened for sarcopenia within 48 h of admission using the SARC-CalF (score ≥11 points classified patients at suggestive signs of sarcopenia).
Association between length of hospital stay before and after surgery and nutritional risk according to NRE-2017 - A secondary analysis of a cohort study.

Aim: to evaluate the predictive ability of the Nutritional Risk Emergency - 2017 (NRE) to predict prolonged length of stay, ICU admission intra-mortality and readmission, severe postoperative complications. Methods: a prospective cohort was conducted with surgical patients admitted in a public tertiary hospital. The NRE-2017 tool was applied for detecting malnutrition risk in hospitalized patients.

Background: Major advances have been seen in techniques and devices for performing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs), but there are limited real-world practice data from developing countries.
Objectives: To report clinical and angiographic characteristics, procedural aspects, and clinical outcomes of CTO PCI performed at dedicated centers in Brazil.
Methods: Included patients underwent CTO PCI at centers participating in the LATAM CTO Registry, a Latin American multicenter registry dedicated to prospective collection of these data.
Article Synopsis
- Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) enhances the assessment of nutritional and fluid status in dialysis patients, particularly in evaluating demographics and mortality over a 12-month period.
- In a study of 82 dialysis patients, older individuals showed increased extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) and lower phase angle (PhA), both linked to higher mortality rates, especially in those aged 65 and older.
- Findings suggest that BIA can effectively inform clinical decisions regarding patient care and management, as specific BIA measures are associated with one-year survival outcomes in this population.
The Influence of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Anger Management on Endothelial Function in Patients With Recent Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Psychosom Med
March 2022
Objective: Anger may cause adverse cardiovascular responses, but the effects of anger management on clinical cardiovascular outcomes are insufficiently understood. We sought to assess the influence of anger management through a cognitive behavioral intervention on endothelial function in patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: Patients with ST-elevation MI and a low anger control score were enrolled during hospitalization in a randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial.
