Aims: Malnutrition is increasingly recognized as a significant factor influencing the clinical outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF). Diabetes exacerbates risks like hospitalizations and mortality due to cardiovascular complications. The aim of this study was to explore the association of malnutrition with diabetes and its prognostic impact on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with HF, using the nutritional assessment tools, controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI).

Objectives: To investigate homocysteine (Hcy) levels in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension and a healthy Nigerian population, and to assess their association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Setting: The study was conducted using data from the Ibadan CRECKID (Cardiovascular and Renal Event in People with Chronic Kidney Disease) study in Nigeria.
Participants: A total of 420 adults (aged 18+) categorised into three groups: individuals with stage 2 CKD or higher, hypertensive non-CKD individuals and normotensive individuals.

Department of Hematology/Oncology, Jefferson Einstein Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Breast cancer patients are at risk of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) due to chemoradiation effects or cancer itself. There are no existing studies on the impact of PEM on breast cancer patients hospitalized for ADHF. This study aims to evaluate the effects of PEM on breast cancer patients admitted for ADHF.

Background And Aims: Anorexia of aging is prevalent and constitutes a significant factor in the onset of malnutrition with limited effective interventions. Cannabis-based medicine (CBM) with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) may have orexigenic properties in older patients with poor appetite. However, current evidence is insufficient regarding the impact of CBM in older patients with poor appetite.

Background: In this planned ancillary analysis of our completed clinical trial, we hypothesized that among older children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and severe acute malnutrition, those with higher levels of food insecurity would have lower end-of-trial body mass index (BMI) z-scores compared to their peers with SCA and lower levels of food insecurity.
Procedure: Data from 108 children who completed the feasibility trial for managing severe acute malnutrition in older children with SCA in Nigeria were analyzed. Children aged 5-12 years old with severe acute malnutrition (BMI z-score of <-3.
