Medical nutrition therapy for ALS: Dietitians' approaches to diagnosing malnutrition, facilitating feeding tube discussions, and mitigating refeeding syndrome risk

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Persons living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) are at high risk for malnutrition because of disease‐related factors such as dysphagia, self‐feeding difficulty, and hypermetabolism. Nutrition interventions, including enteral nutrition (EN) initiation after gastrostomy tube (G‐tube) placement, are integral to care but can ...

Validation of rapid 4-component body composition assessment with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2018
Background The 4-component (4C) model is a criterion method for human body composition that separates the body into fat, water, mineral, and protein, but requires 4 measurements with significant cost and time requirements that preclude wide clinical use.

Evaluation of Vibration Analysis to Assess Bone Mineral Density in Children [PDF]

, 2020
The effectiveness of vibration analysis to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in children with suspected reduction in bone density was studied. A system was designed that measured the ulna's vibration responses in vivo.

Interrelationships among handgrip strength, body composition, physical activity, and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27

Addition of Phentermine‐Topiramate to a Digitally Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention: A Double‐Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study compared the effects of phentermine‐topiramate‐ER (mid‐dose 7.5/46 mg) versus placebo on weight loss and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes when used as an adjunct to a digitally enhanced lifestyle intervention (DELI).

Assessment of Adiposity in Patients with Psoriasis and its Correlation with Disease Severity: A Case-Control Study

Indian Dermatology Online Journal
Background: Psoriasis and obesity are known to share many mediators of inflammation with each other such as TNF-α and IL-6. Obesity, being a low-grade inflammatory state, is known to affect the disease course, severity, predisposition, and response to ...

The MetaboHealth Score Enhances Insulin Resistance Metabotyping for Targeted Fat Loss: The PERSON Study

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We previously identified distinct muscle and liver insulin resistance (IR) metabotypes in middle‐aged and older adults. The PERSON study showed that a low‐fat, high‐protein, high‐fiber diet benefits the muscle IR group, while a high‐monounsaturated fatty acid diet benefits the liver IR group. We also developed the MetaboHealth score,

Evaluating the Fat Distribution in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scanning

Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press. 1980), 2017
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is strongly associated with obesity. We aimed to utilise dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to characterise fat distribution, and to evaluate change in fat mass and distribution following weight loss.
