Background: This study investigated the clinical outcomes according to the preoperative nutritional status and to identify factors influencing long-term unrecovered nutritional status.
Methods: Data were prospectively collected from 355 patients who underwent PD between 2008 and 2014. Nutritional status was evaluated by Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA) and patients were classified into group A (malnourished), group B (risk-of-malnutrition), or group C (well-nourished). MNA score, complications, body mass index (BMI), stool elastase level, biochemical parameters, and quality-of-life (QOL) were collected serially for 1 year.
Results: Preoperatively, 60 patients were categorized into group A, 224 into group B, and 71 into group C. Overall complication and pancreatic fistula were higher in groups A and B compared with group C (P = 0.003 vs P = 0.004). QOL, biochemical parameters, BMI and stool elastase level were lowest in group A preoperatively. BMI and stool elastase level remained low after surgery in all groups. Advanced age, low BMI, pre-existing diabetes mellitus, jaundice, exocrine insufficiency and adjuvant therapy were factors influencing long-term unrecovered nutritional status.
Conclusion: Preoperative malnourished patients suffer from poor clinical outcomes. Therefore, those with risk factors of malnutrition should be monitored and vigorous efforts are needed to improve their nutrition.

Objectives: To examine the association of social connections with blood leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and all-cause mortality in older Costa Ricans.
Methods: Utilizing data from the Costa Rican Longevity and Healthy Aging Study (CRELES), a prospective cohort of 2827 individuals aged 60 and above followed since 2004, we constructed a Social Network Index (SNI) based on marital status, household size, interaction with non-cohabitating adult children, and church attendance. We used linear regression to assess SNI's association with baseline LTL ( = 1113), and Cox proportional-hazard models to examine SNI's relationship with all-cause mortality ( = 2735).
Usefulness of Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index in Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax.

Background: The prognostic nutritional index has been identified as a predictor of postoperative outcomes in various fields. We investigated the usefulness of the prognostic nutritional index as a risk factor for postoperative complications in secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent surgery for secondary spontaneous pneumothorax were reviewed.
Gender Different Impacts of Muscle Mass and Adipose Tissue on Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Surgical Resection.

Background & Aims: Body composition is an objective assessment reflecting nutritional status and is highly gender different. Surgical resection, the standard treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is an energy-consuming major operation that would affect body composition. However, the impacts of body composition on the post-operative prognosis of HCC are still uncertain.

This study explored the effect of symptom-based individualized nutritional intervention on chemotherapy tolerance and quality of life (QOL) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing postoperative chemotherapy. Postoperative patients with CRC ( = 88) were randomly assigned to the control group (CG, = 45) and intervention group (IG, = 43) receiving conventional diet counseling and symptom-based individualized nutritional intervention, respectively, and chemotherapy tolerance, adverse effects, and QOL were compared. Participants in the IG exhibited better nutritional status at the last chemotherapy cycle, with lower Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (2.
