Comparative Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy vs. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Phase Angle and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Measures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine the impact of bariatric surgery on phase angle (PhA) and other bioimpedance measures among adults with obesity, comparing the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines, including studies up to May 2024 from MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Eligible studies assessed PhA changes pre- and post-bariatric surgery in adults with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m.

Assessment of Nutrient Levels Provided by General Hospital Patient Menus: A Cross-Sectional Study Carried Out in the Region of Murcia (Spain).

Disease-related malnutrition remains a health problem with a high prevalence that increases the risk of poor patient outcomes, in addition to an elevation of healthcare costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional quality of the menus at Ribera Molina Hospital, including their adequacy regarding recommended daily nutrient intakes and the agreement with the theoretical nutrition information provided by catering. The mean levels of energy, macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals provided by the basal, diabetic, and soft diets were calculated through the weighing of plated food served throughout the first 14 days of February 2020.

Phase Angle, Handgrip Strength, and Other Indicators of Nutritional Status in Cancer Patients Undergoing Different Nutritional Strategies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Malnutrition in cancer patients is one of the most influential factors in the evolution and mortality of such patients. To reduce the incidence of malnutrition, it is necessary to establish a correct nutritional intervention. For this purpose, precise tools and indicators must be developed to determine the patient's condition.

[Disease-related malnutrition, functional parameters, and associated costs in a genaral hospital].

Introduction: disease-related malnutrition (DRM) affects more than 30 million people in Europe, representing about 170 billion euros each year. Despite the growing consensus for the diagnosis of DRM, it is still necessary to implement multidisciplinary and coordinated protocols for a comprehensive approach to DRM in hospitals. Objetive: to study the proportion of patients affected by DRM upon admission, as well as the duration and the cost of their stay in a general hospital.
