Purpose: We investigated the relationship between Krickenbeck score (KS) and fecoflowmetry (FFM) parameters and assessed the characteristics of this new questionnaire test by comparing Kelly's clinical score (KCS) in pediatric patients with anorectal surgery for anorectal malformation (ARM) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD).
Methods: We enrolled pediatric patients who underwent anorectal surgery for ARM or HD. Bowel function was assessed with KS and KCS thereafter, FFM and anorectal manometry (AM) were conducted. Patients were divided into subgroups according to each parameter of the scoring system and each FFM parameter was compared among the KCS or KS subgroups, respectively. Moreover, correlation analyses were conducted between FFM and AM parameters.
Results: The comparison of FFM parameters among the subgroups of KCS showed that F in the KCS staining 2 group was significantly higher than that in KCS staining 1 group and the F in KCS sphincter squeeze 1 group was significantly higher than that in KCS sphincter squeeze 0 group. Moreover, F in the KCS "good" group was significantly higher than that in the KCS "fair" group. The comparison of FFM parameters among the subgroups of KS parameters showed that TR in the no soiling group was significantly higher than that in the KS grade 2 soiling group. FFM and AM parameters showed a significant positive correlation between F and voluntary squeezing anal pressure.
Conclusion: FFM clarified the different characteristics of two scoring systems, namely, KCS reflects the anal sphincter performance, whereas the KS soiling score might reflect the tolerance and evacuation ability.

Objectives: The aim of this study was (i) to design and develop a portable BCA device for measuring body composition parameters such as body weight, body fat (BF) %, total body water (TBW), fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass (MM), and bone mass (BM); (ii) to validate the developed portable BCA with the Tanita MC 980 MA BCA device.
Methods: For this current study, two hundred healthy and obese subjects, whose ages ranged from 8 to 12 years (8.4 ± 1.

Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has a well-established role in locally advanced or chemoresponsive breast cancers (BC). Chemotherapic regimens are effective when patients receive the optimal doses. Toxicities are common in overweight/obese patients but may occur also in normal weight counterparts.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is associated with poor clinical outcomes in chronic diseases. Our study aimed to characterize body composition (BC) parameters in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and compare skeletal muscle mass (SMM) parameters with the healthy pediatric population.
Methods: BC of healthy controls (HC) and of patients with IBD were measured via multifrequency bioelectrical impedance (InBody 720 device) in a cross-sectional manner.

Objective: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a novel and easily obtained marker of insulin resistance (IR), has been shown to predict metabolic diseases. Monitoring body composition is crucial in assessing disease states. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition and IR as assessed by the TyG index.
