Estimation of the appendicular skeletal muscle mass and phase angle cut-off values from a young Turkish reference population using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Objective: Population-specific muscle mass cut-off values are recommended for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. In this study, we aimed to determine the appendicular muscle mass index (ASMI) and phase angle (PA) cut-off values for the Turkish population using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (mBIA).

Patients And Methods: A total of 250 healthy volunteers aged 18-40 years were included in the study between September 2020 and December 2021.

Malnutrition risk in hospitalized patients measured with Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 tool and its association with in-hospital mortality.

Objective: Malnutrition is related to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. NRS-2002 is a practical malnutrition risk (MR) screening tool approved by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) for inpatients. We aimed to reveal the inpatient MR using NRS-2002, and to examine the relationship between MR and in-hospital mortality.

The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity and its relationship with type 2 diabetes in a nursing home.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM), sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity (SO) in the elderly were related to frailty, morbidity, and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of diabetes mellitus to the prevalence of SO in a nursing home residents.

Subjects And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 397 old-aged (≥65 years) nursing home residents dwelling in Darulaceze Directorate Kayısdagı Campus of Istanbul.

Cyclin-D1 positive B cell lymphoma with intravascular and interstitial involvement of kidney and bone marrow.

Kidney involvement is rare in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), and can be caused by direct lymphoid infiltration, paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis (GN), or both. Herein, we present a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to renal cyclin-D1 positive B cell lymphoma infiltration. To our knowledge, this is the first case where a renal biopsy revealed intravascular neoplastic cells along with parenchymal infiltration.

Recurrent and de novo glomerulonephritis following renal transplantation: higher rates of rejection and lower graft survival.

Purpose: In this retrospective study with case-control design, we aimed to determine the clinical and pathological characteristics of post-transplant glomerulonephritis (GN), and their effects on transplant recipients.

Methods: One hundred and twenty renal transplant recipients with biopsy-proven recurrent or de novo primary GN were compared with two matched control groups including 120 transplant recipients with nonrecurrent primary GN (nonrecurrent GN group) and 120 transplant recipients with non-GN etiology (non-GN group). Primary outcome was allograft loss, and secondary outcomes were biopsy-confirmed cellular or antibody-mediated rejection.
