Background & Aims: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) approach to malnutrition diagnosis is based on assessment of three phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, and reduced skeletal muscle mass) and two etiologic (reduced food intake/assimilation and disease burden/inflammation) criteria, with diagnosis confirmed by fulfillment of any combination of at least one phenotypic and at least one etiologic criterion. The original GLIM description provided limited guidance regarding assessment of inflammation and this has been a factor impeding further implementation of the GLIM criteria. We now seek to provide practical guidance for assessment of inflammation in support of the etiologic criterion for inflammation.

- * A working group created consensus-based guidelines to improve the assessment of inflammation in malnutrition, culminating in seven key guidance statements with 99% agreement in the final review.
- * Recommendations include using clinical judgment alongside C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements to assess inflammation, highlighting the importance of understanding the context of CRP readings in diagnostics.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals sought healthcare virtually. Physiotherapy is integral in managing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs); therefore, establishing how key physical tests can be appropriately adapted to telehealth is paramount.
Objectives: To establish the validity and reliability of telehealth (specifically videoconferencing) assessments against in-person assessments on a battery of TMD physical tests.
