Changes in heart rate with refeeding in anorexia nervosa: a pilot study.

J Psychosom Res

Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Published: October 2006

Objective: To find differences in heart rate before and after refeeding and to identify which parameters of autonomic activity and endocrine function are associated with these differences.

Methods: Before and after the start of refeeding, body weight, RR interval (RRI), heart rate variability, endocrine function, and energy expenditure were measured in nine female anorexia nervosa patients.

Results: After short-term refeeding, mean daytime heart rate rose from 54.9 to 69.4 bpm (P<.05). The changes in sympathetic activity were correlated negatively with the changes in RRI (r=-.933, P<.001). Urine C-peptide, IGF-1, and fT3 increased significantly, and norepinephrine tended to increase.

Conclusion: We demonstrated that autonomic nervous activity was relevant to changes in heart rate during refeeding, and it is speculated that the increases in insulin secretion, thyroid function, and IGF-1 were responsible for the mechanisms.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a major complication in colorectal surgery, particularly following rectal cancer surgery, necessitating effective prevention strategies. The increasing frequency of colorectal resections and anastomoses during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal carcinomatosis further complicates this issue owing to the diverse patient populations with varied tumor distributions and surgical complexities. This study aims to assess and compare AL incidence and associated risk factors across conventional colorectal cancer surgery (CRC), gastrointestinal CRS (GI-CRS), and ovarian CRS (OC-CRS), with a secondary focus on evaluating the role of protective ostomies.

Purpose: Subclinical peroneal neuropathy without overt foot drop has been linked to increased fall risk in adults, yet remains under reported due to subtle symptoms and lack of awareness. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often experience other nerve entrapments, prompting this study to evaluate CTS (a proxy for peroneal nerve entrapment) as a significant predictor of time to first fall.

Methods: Data from the Merative MarketScan Research Databases (2007-2021) were used to identify adult patients using ICD-9/10 codes.

Rapid and accurate multi-phenotype imputation for millions of individuals.

Deep phenotyping can enhance the power of genetic analysis, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but the occurrence of missing phenotypes compromises the potential of such resources. Although many phenotypic imputation methods have been developed, the accurate imputation of millions of individuals remains challenging. In the present study, we have developed a multi-phenotype imputation method based on mixed fast random forest (PIXANT) by leveraging efficient machine learning (ML)-based algorithms.

Purpose: We sought to investigate the expression of MALAT1, plasma brain natriuretic peptide, and Tei index in sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Methods: The current retrospective analysis focused on 146 sepsis patients admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to March 2023. Based on the presence or absence of myocardial injury, the patients were divided into two groups: the sepsis group (n = 80) and the sepsis-induced myocardial injury group (n = 66).
