Relationship of resistin gene polymorphism (rs7139228) with resistin levels and metabolic syndrome risk in obese subjects.

Background: despite the relationship of resistin with metabolic syndrome (MS), the relationship of the 5'UTR intron C/T variant SNP rs7139228 of the RETN gene with the presence of MS has not been evaluated. Objective: the objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of SNP rs7139228 of the RETN gene on circulating resistin levels, as well as on MS in obese subjects. Material and Methods: a Caucasian population of 1003 obese subjects was enrolled.

Evolution of nutrition support in patients with COVID-19 disease admitted in the Intensive Care Unit.

Introduction: Nutritional support in patients with COVID19 can influence the mean stay and complications in the patient in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Aims: To evaluate the selection of enteral nutritional treatment in the COVID-19 patient admitted to the ICU. To know the development of dysphagia and its treatment.

Muscular Ultrasonography in Morphofunctional Assessment of Patients with Oncological Pathology at Risk of Malnutrition.

Background: Muscular ultrasonography is a technique that allows assessing the amount and quality of muscle in a specific body region. The aim of the study was to compare the value of muscle ultrasonography in diagnosis of malnutrition with techniques such as anthropometry, handgrip strength and impedanciometry in patients with oncological pathology. Methods: Cross-sectional study in 43 patients with oncological pathology and high nutritional risk.
