Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy
Annals of Gastroenterological SurgeryAim Emergency laparotomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The cachexia index, an objective index that incorporates muscle mass, nutrition, and inflammation, has been shown to predict outcomes in patients with cancer.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...

Make‐Use‐Remake: Toward Indefinite Low‐Temperature Material Loops
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a regenerable materials platform built from microparticles bound by a temperature‐responsive polymer shell, enabling strong, processable structures from diverse feedstocks. The material is shaped at low temperatures (80°C) using common manufacturing methods and reprocessed repeatedly in the presence of water, demonstrating stable ...

Cardiac Cachexia and the Associations to the Microbiome: State‐of‐the‐Science Review
JCSM CommunicationsBackground Cardiac cachexia is a late manifestation of advanced heart failure, with a 5%–15% prevalence. A diagnosis of cardiac cachexia is not simply another complication of heart failure; clinical consequences of cachexia are impaired physical function,
