Objectives: To investigate the association between neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) and nutritional status, and explore their shared regulatory brain regions on the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.
Design: A longitudinal, observational cohort study.
Setting: Data were collected from the Chinese Imaging, Biomarkers, and Lifestyle study between June 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
Participants: Overall, 432 patients on the AD continuum, including amnestic mild cognitive impairment and AD dementia, were assessed at baseline, and only 165 patients completed the (10.37 ± 6.08) months' follow-up.
Measurements: The Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) were used to evaluate nutritional status and NPS, respectively. The corrected cerebral blood flow (cCBF) measured by pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling of the dietary nutrition-related brain regions was analyzed. The association between the NPS at baseline and subsequent change in nutritional status and the association between the changes in the severity of NPS and nutritional status were examined using generalized linear mixed models.
Results: Increased cCBF in the left putamen was associated with malnutrition, general NPS, affective symptoms, and hyperactivity (P < 0.05). The presence of general NPS (β = -1.317, P = 0.003), affective symptoms (β = -1.887, P < 0.001), and appetite/eating disorders (β = -1.714, P < 0.001) at baseline were associated with a decline in the MNA scores during follow-up. The higher scores of general NPI (β = -0.048), affective symptoms (β = -0.181), and appetite/eating disorders (β = -0.416; all P < 0.001) were longitudinally associated with lower MNA scores after adjusting for confounding factors.
Conclusions: We found that baseline NPS were predictors of a decline in nutritional status on the AD continuum. The worse the severity of affective symptoms and appetite/eating disorders, the poorer the nutritional status. Furthermore, abnormal perfusion of the putamen may regulate the association between malnutrition and NPS, which suggests their potentially common neural regulatory basis.

Reliable Performance of mALBI Grade-Based Risk Models for Predicting the Prognosis of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Receiving Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab as First-Line Treatment: Comparative Analysis of 13 Risk Models.
J Gastroenterol Hepatol

Department of Nursing, Gifu Kyoritsu University, Ogaki, Japan.
Aim: This study aimed to compare the prognostic performance of the risk models for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Atez/Bev) as first-line treatment.
Methods: Among 449 patients included in this retrospective multicenter study, we compared the prognostic performance of 13 risk models for the 12-month and 18-month survival status using area under the curve (AUC), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and relative integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) analysis. We also constructed a calibration plot to assess the fitness of each model.
Perspectives on integrating family planning and nutrition: a qualitative study of stakeholders.

Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Limited information is available on the value of integrating family planning and nutrition services to improve related outcomes among women of reproductive age and effective approaches to achieve this. This study aimed to ascertain the perspectives and experiences of global and regional stakeholders about integrating family planning and nutrition services, examine facilitators and barriers and identify opportunities and considerations for integration.
Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews with 34 global and regional stakeholders in family planning, nutrition and related domains.
Relationship between the Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index and the prognosis of severe coronavirus disease 2019 in Korea.

Background: Malnutrition exacerbates the prognosis of various diseases; however, its specific impact on severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outcomes remains underexplored.
Methods: This multicenter study in Korea assessed the nutritional status of 1,088 adults with severe COVID-19 using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) based on serum albumin levels and body weight. The patients were divided into the GNRI>98 (no-risk) and GNRI≤98 (risk) groups.

Background: Serum albumin (Alb) is an essential indicator of human physiological function, which can reflect the functionality of multiple organs, including the liver and kidneys. Presently, numerous studies have indicated that levels of blood albumin serve as important biomarkers for a range of respiratory illnesses. These findings can better guide clinical practice and disease prevention.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.
