Morphofunctional Assessment beyond Malnutrition: Fat Mass Assessment in Adult Patients with Phenylketonuria-Systematic Review.

Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Unit, Endocrinology and Nutrition Section, Badajoz University Hospital, 06008 Badajoz, Spain.
Morphofunctional assessment was developed to evaluate disease-related malnutrition. However, it can also be used to assess cardiometabolic risk, as excess adiposity increases this risk. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most prevalent inherited metabolic disease among adults, and obesity in PKU has recently gained interest, although fat mass correlates better with cardiometabolic risk than body mass index.

Article Synopsis
- Jejunal artery aneurysms (JAAs) are very rare, accounting for less than 1% of all visceral artery aneurysms and typically affect middle-aged men.
- A case of a 49-year-old woman with a 4×5 cm intact JAA was discovered incidentally during a CT scan, prompting successful elective surgery for its complete removal.
- Management of JAAs lacks a clear consensus due to limited case reports, but they are generally treated similarly to other visceral artery aneurysms, especially if they are larger than 2 cm or symptomatic, with surgery being the preferred method in emergencies.

Objectives: To determine the degree of risk factor control, the clinical symptoms and the therapeutic management of patients with a history of previous myocardial infarction.
Methods: Cross-sectional study at 6 years of a first episode of acute myocardial infarction between 2000 and 2009, admitted at a hospital in the region of Extremadura (Spain). Of 2177 patients with this diagnosis, 1365 remained alive and therefore were included in the study.
