Body composition analysis and handgrip strength as predictors of 12‐month mortality in hospitalized adults receiving parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 412-420, April 2026.
Abstract Background Nutrition assessment in patients receiving parenteral nutrition often relies on classical parameters with limited prognostic value. Morphofunctional tools such as phase angle and handgrip strength measurement offer a more comprehensive evaluation of nutrition status and may better predict clinical outcomes. Objective To evaluate the

Phase Angle and Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Patients

Applied Sciences
Phase angle (PhA) and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) have emerged as valuable tools for assessing nutritional status and prognosis in various patient populations, but there is a lack of studies in rare neurodegenerative diseases.

Understanding Impact of Anti‐Obesity Medications on Skeletal Muscle Mass Change Is Confounded by Measurement Methods

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Anti‐obesity medications promote greater degrees of weight loss than lifestyle interventions alone. There is an important need to understand whether loss of skeletal muscle during pharmacologically induced weight loss is clinically significant due to its essential role in health and disease.

Effects of a high‐sugar mixed meal on cerebrovascular haemodynamics in young, healthy versus middle‐aged adults with cardiometabolic risk factors

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 2370-2383, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Consumption of a high‐sugar mixed meal (HSMM) increases both glucose and insulin and elicits mixed vascular effects, with reduced microvascular blood flow but increased conduit artery diameter and blood flow. In this study, we sought to examine: (1) whether an HSMM elicits vascular segment‐specific effects within cerebrovasculature; and (2 ...

Molecular Communication Is the Internet of Brain Missing Key: A Comprehensive Overview of Background Technologies and the Generic Framework

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
A novel three‐layer architecture is proposed for cell‐to‐cell communication, integrating molecular, nano‐electronic, and digital components. It enables bio‐integrated applications such as remote emotional touching, consensual telepathy, and autonomous drug delivery. Molecular Communication (MC) is utilized with advanced implants, modulation techniques,

Pathogenesis of Age‐Related Hearing Loss and Therapeutic Strategies

Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Age‐related hearing loss (ARHL) is a degenerative disorder of the auditory system, characterized by bilateral symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss that occurs with aging. As a highly prevalent age‐related condition worldwide, ARHL significantly impairs both the quality of life and mental health of the elderly.
