Preoperative optimization: Review on nutritional assessment and strategies in IBD.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), encompassing conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, present multifaceted challenges requiring a comprehensive management approach. Patients often necessitate a combination of medical therapy, surgical interventions, and nutritional support. Despite advancements in medical and dietary therapies, the prevalence of surgery remains high among the IBD population, alongside the persistent risk of malnutrition.

Improving Stability of CO Electroreduction by Incorporating Ag NPs in N-Doped Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Structures.

The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (eCORR) to CO using Ag nanoparticles as an electrocatalyst is promising as an industrial carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technique to mitigate CO emissions. Nevertheless, the long-term stability of these Ag nanoparticles has been insufficient despite initial high Faradaic efficiencies and/or partial current densities. To improve the stability, we evaluated an up-scalable and easily tunable synthesis route to deposit low-weight percentages of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on and into the framework of a nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (NOMC) structure.

Compliance and Patients' Perspectives Towards Nutritional Supplementation Following Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Nutritional supplementation is recommended as a prophylactic strategy for nutritional deficiencies after bariatric surgery. Little is known regarding compliance and patients' perspectives. The purpose of the study was to explore supplement intake, compliance, and patients' perspectives (including barriers, facilitators, and beliefs) and to examine whether compliance to nutritional supplementation can be predicted after bariatric surgery.

Mapping Composition-Selectivity Relationships of Supported Sub-10 nm Cu-Ag Nanocrystals for High-Rate CO Electroreduction.

Colloidal Cu-Ag nanocrystals measuring less than 10 nm across are promising candidates for integration in hybrid CO reduction reaction (CORR) interfaces, especially in the context of tandem catalysis and selective multicarbon (C-C) product formation. In this work, we vary the synthetic-ligand/copper molar ratio from 0.1 to 1.
