Introduction And Objective: Many illnesses are related to the loss of appetite or the inability to intake food in a regular fashion. The consequence of long-term or even short-term non-intake of food leads to damaging of organ functions and tissue. Tissue consumption, which is speeded up through metabolic effects of inflammatory mediators, is a characteristic which is identified as clinical malnutrition. The objective of this paper is to offer leading guidelines for uncovering the risk of malnourishment, whilst suggesting several standards which are practical for general use with patients and health workers. METHODOLOGY AND TEST SUBJECTS: This, systematically planned, descriptive, biannual (2006-2007) prospective clinical research, included in total 2.200 hospitalised patients at Clinical Centre University of Sarajevo. Test subjects were hospitalised patients with precisely determined diagnosis, for the purpose of evaluating test subjects' nutritional status and the prevalence of hospital malnourishment.
Results: According to MUST test, total of 58% of test subjects were malnourished. The test relied more on the subjective evaluation of the patient and was not proved as acceptable for general screening. According to NRS 2002 test, total of 52.04% of test subjects from other clinics were malnourished. Test was suitable because the "yes" and "no" answers were acceptable for the patient and the final screening was simple. According to MNA test, total of 55.3% from all test subjects were malnourished, but the test was not suitable because the answers were more subjective and as such, unacceptable for both patients and doctors.
Conclusion: More than 55% of test subjects were in the clinical malnourishment, which was proved with all three tests. The highest risk of malnutrition among patients with internal illnesses is carried by oncology patients. BMI must be routinely conducted on first examination. NRS 2002 test is suitable and acceptable for the patient.

Injecting CO into deep geological formations can be an effective carbon removal and storage technology to mitigate global climate change. Interaction of injected CO with rock formations changes pH and hydrochemistry within the deep injection zone (> 800 m depth). However, cap rocks and multiple tight aquitards typically act as barriers to protect the shallow aquifer from changes in the injection zone.

Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug (AED) that is effective in treating various types of epilepsy. This study evaluated the bioequivalence and safety of two topiramate tablets in healthy Chinese subjects under fasting and fed conditions. We designed an open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, crossover trial protocol.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of interim [F]Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]FDG PET/CT) after immunotherapy-based systemic therapies in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively recruited 133 newly diagnosed nasal-type ENKTL patients who underwent interim [F]FDG PET/CT scans after 2-4 cycles of immunotherapy-based treatments. Interim PET/CT was interpreted by maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), Deauville 5-point scale (DS), and early treatment response.

Background Detection and segmentation of lung tumors on CT scans are critical for monitoring cancer progression, evaluating treatment responses, and planning radiation therapy; however, manual delineation is labor-intensive and subject to physician variability. Purpose To develop and evaluate an ensemble deep learning model for automating identification and segmentation of lung tumors on CT scans. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted between July 2019 and November 2024 using a large dataset of CT simulation scans and clinical lung tumor segmentations from radiotherapy plans.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate an evidence-based, clinically relevant, and user-friendly eLearning resource to facilitate the provision of safe and affirming physical therapy services for individuals with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and other related identities or experiences (LGBTQIA+).
Review Of Literature: When accessing physical therapy, individuals who are LGBTQIA+ can experience assumptions, discrimination, discomfort, and encounter health professionals who lack knowledge about LGBTQIA+ health.
Subjects: Nine consumers and end-users participated in codesign and 20 physical therapists (evaluated the resource).
