Background: Intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD)-cholestasis is a common complication of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) in patients with intestinal failure (IF). The lack of effective early identification indicators often results in poor clinical outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of serum FGF19 and liver stiffness in IFALD-cholestasis.

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a resistance training program on appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI), physical performance, body composition, biochemical parameters, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with IF exhibiting sarcopenia.
Methods: A single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted in a Chinese tertiary teaching hospital.

Article Synopsis
- NutritionDay is a global study that tracks malnutrition and nutritional risk among hospitalized patients, with a focus on Chinese inpatients in a survey conducted on November 7, 2019.
- The study included 875 patients and found a malnutrition rate of 11.6% and a nutritional risk incidence of 17.8%, linking factors like tumor load and self-rated health to malnutrition.
- Overall, about 29.4% of patients were identified as malnourished or at nutritional risk, resulting in longer hospital stays and lower rehabilitation rates, highlighting the need for increased awareness and support for these patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the occurrence and risk factors of cholelithiasis (gallstones) in adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS) over a decade, involving 345 patients.
- Results showed that 20.9% of patients developed cholelithiasis, with significant risk factors identified as having a remnant jejunum and dependence on parenteral nutrition.
- Complications from cholelithiasis, such as acute cholecystitis and pancreatitis, were notably higher in affected patients, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and preventive strategies for individuals with SBS.
