Article Synopsis
- Undernutrition is common in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), with a study showing a prevalence rate of 25.8%, including moderate and severe cases.
- The study assessed 434 IBD patients, revealing that 81.1% had experienced undernutrition since their diagnosis, with a notable average weight loss of 14.5%.
- Factors linked to undernutrition included total food category exclusions and active disease, while a longer duration of IBD was associated with a lower prevalence of undernutrition.
Background: Radiation-induced nausea and vomiting have mutiple clinical consequences: delay or refusal of irradiation (decreased antineoplastic efficacy of irradiation), altered quality of life, dehydration, malnutrition, interruption of treatment, decompensation of comorbidities and aspiration. These guidelines aim at defining good clinical practices for management of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV).
Methods: AFSOS, SFRO, SFH, SFNEP, SFCE and GFRP applied an expert consensus methodology to propose updated guidelines.
Purpose: The primary objective was to evaluate bone fragility on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in patients with obesity before and 2 years after bariatric surgery. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors for the development of a bone mineral density ≤ -2 SD at 2 years.
Methods: This descriptive study included patients with obesity who underwent DXA before and 2 years (±6 months) after bariatric surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with cirrhosis, either due to acute illness or the progression of liver disease, but comprehensive evaluations of renal function markers have not been thoroughly studied.
- A retrospective study was conducted on hospitalized cirrhosis patients from January 2021 to June 2023, involving a detailed assessment of renal function across 43 parameters.
- The findings revealed that most patients exhibited renal abnormalities, with significant overestimations in estimated glomerular filtration rates compared to measured creatinine clearance, highlighting the importance of multiparametric assessments for properly evaluating kidney function in these patients.*
Article Synopsis
- The main treatment for short bowel syndrome is getting nutrition at home through a special method called parenteral nutrition, but patients need to follow strict rules to avoid problems.
- Some patients prefer to receive help from nurses rather than being completely responsible for their care, even though doctors encourage everyone to learn how to do it themselves.
- Interviews with patients showed that while some enjoy having more control over their care, others feel safer and more comfortable when a nurse visits them regularly.
