Background: Post-bariatric body contouring surgery (BCS) treats redundant skin after massive weight loss; however, the complication risk is relatively high (23-70%). Most complications are wound-related, which may be partly due to a poor nutritional status after bariatric surgery. The objective of this observational study was to optimise nutrition preoperatively and assess the prevalence of wound-related complications after BCS.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 140 patients. Patients were treated according to the post-bariatric BCS guideline. Nutritional parameters were collected via pre- and peri-operative blood sampling; any deficiencies were treated. A protein-enriched diet was prescribed by a dietician 4 weeks preoperatively up until closure of all wounds. Complications were recorded using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with wound-related complications.
Results: The overall wound-related complication rate was 51%. Most complications were minor, with only 4.3% was considered major. No significant differences in patient characteristics were found between patients with and without complications. Variables indicating an optimised nutritional state were not significantly associated with a decreased risk of complications; the most influential factor was a sufficient post-operative protein intake (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.07 - 1.02, p = 0.05).
Conclusion: The overall wound-related complication rate was in accordance with previous literature; however, major complications were few. This study showed a weak correlation between optimising nutritional state and better outcome after BCS, especially following a protein-enriched diet post-operatively. Therefore, we recommend continuing research on nutrition and wound-related complications, using homogeneous study populations and well-defined complications.

Background: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion, a routine procedure for long-term enteral nutrition, serves as a crucial intervention for patients who are incapable of tolerating oral intake or meeting adequate nutritional requirements. PEG tube placement carries complications like bleeding and infection. Impact of PEG tubes on the 30-day and long-term mortality in HIV patients is unknown.

Background/aim: The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in patients with soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs).
Patients And Methods: The present single-center retrospective observational study included patients who underwent F-FDG-PET/CT and for whom serum albumin levels, height, and body weight were measured prior to therapeutic intervention.
Results: A total of 81 patients were included in the study.
Hypothalamic SIRT1-mediated regulation of the hormonal trigger of ovulation and its repression in energy deficit.

Female reproduction is highly sensitive to body energy stores; persistent energy deficit, as seen in anorexia or strenuous exercise, is known to suppress ovulation via ill-defined mechanisms. We report herein that hypothalamic SIRT1, a key component of the epigenetic machinery that links nutritional status and puberty onset via modulation of Kiss1, plays a critical role in the control of the preovulatory surge of gonadotropins, i.e.

Background: With the advent of improved chemotherapy options, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has gained acceptance as a multidisciplinary treatment approach for localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to clarify whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 influences preoperative nutritional status and postoperative outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing highly invasive pancreatic resection.
Methods: Patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy as upfront surgery or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 between January 2015 and December 2022 were assessed.
A CRISPR/Cas12a-based direct transverse relaxation time biosensor via hydrogel sol-gel transition for Salmonella detection.

This research developed a magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) biosensor based on hydrogel sol-gel transition and the CRISPR/Cas12a system (MRS-CRISPR) to detect Salmonella. Herein, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled with streptavidin was captured by the biotin-modified DNA on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) surface, which generated an acidic environment via enzymatic reaction to release Ca and induced the transformation of alginate sol to hydrogels. In contrast, Salmonella activated the trans-cleavage activity of the CRISPR/Cas12a system, interrupting the capture of ALP and the subsequent sol-gel transition.
