Acquired deficiency of the inhibitor of the first complement component (C1-INH) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disease whose cause, course, and management are not completely defined. This article analyzes the etiopathogenetic mechanism, the clinical presentation, and the relationship between acquired C1-INH deficiency and lymphoproliferative disorders. Moreover, the authors give an overview of the outcome of the disease and the different therapies proposed to cure it.

Inpatient Nutritional Considerations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Curr Gastroenterol Rep

St Luke's University Hospital, Fountain Hill, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on both adults and children.
Recent Findings: Malnutrition is common among IBD patients, affecting up to 85% of individuals, and is linked to higher rates of illness, death, and longer hospital stays. Recent studies highlight the importance of early detection using tools like the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength tests.

Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a group of chronic conditions characterized by dysregulated immune responses and persistent inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), and ulcerative colitis (UC) exemplify prominent IMIDs, each presenting unique challenges for their management, that impact patient's quality of life (QoL). Obesity, marked by persistent low-grade inflammation, influences the progression, response to treatment, and clinical management of patients with RA, SpA, and UC.

Background/objectives: Sarcopenia associates with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to determine prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The HRQoL between RA patients with and without sarcopenia also was compared.

Background: Many nutrition risk screening tools include low body mass index (BMI). It remains uncertain whether it affects the validity of these tools in patients with overweight or obesity. We aimed to determine the frequency of malnutrition risk and evaluate its association with hospital length of stay in hospitalized adults according to BMI classification.

Background: Due to malnutrition and tumor cachexia, body composition (BC) is frequently altered and known to adversely affect short- and long-term results in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Here, we explored immune cell populations in the tumor and liver of CCA patients with respect to BC.
Methods: A cohort of 96 patients who underwent surgery for CCA was investigated by multiplexed immunofluorescence (MIF) techniques with computer-based analysis on whole-tissue slide scans to quantify and characterize immune cells in normal liver and tumor regions.
