Practical measurement of body composition using bioelectrical impedance, air displacement plethysmography and ultrasound in stable outpatients with short bowel syndrome receiving home parenteral nutrition: comparison of agreement between the methods

Journal of human nutrition and dietetics (Print), 2018
Background People diagnosed with intestinal failure (IF) as a result of short bowel syndrome are dependent on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Measuring nutritional status is essential for monitoring treatment.

Feasibility and usability of three consecutive nights with self‐applied, home polysomnography

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary In‐laboratory polysomnography, the gold‐standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, is resource‐demanding and not conducive to multiple night evaluations. Ambulatory polysomnography, especially when self‐applied, could be a viable alternative. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of self‐applied polysomnography over three ...

C‐reactive protein improves the ability to detect hypertension and insulin resistance in mild‐to‐moderate obstructive sleep apnea: Age effect

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 3, June 2025.
Summary C‐reactive protein (CRP) appears to improve the ability to detect cardiometabolic risk in young and middle‐aged adults with mild‐to‐moderate obstructive sleep apnea (mmOSA). The aim of this study is to assess utility of CRP in identifying the risk of hypertension and insulin resistance across a wide age range including older patients with mmOSA.

Wearables as Translational Physiomarkers and Clinical Endpoints in Insomnia Research: Can Sleep Research Advance Psychiatry?

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wearables that integrate actigraphy and pulse photoplethysmography (ACT + PPG) could represent a promising advancement in insomnia research and clinical practice. This especially applies to assessing objective sleep for a longer period in the home environment, which is impractical with ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) whereas actigraphy alone ...

Exploring Infant Size and Body Composition at 18 Months: An Ambidirectional Peri‐Urban South African Cohort Study

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 21, Issue 2, April 2025.
In 249 South African 18‐month‐old infants, prenatal placental insufficiency, maternal HIV and reported exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months predicted lower LAZ. Greater maternal height and LAZ at birth predicted higher LAZ. ABSTRACT The first 1000 days of life lay the foundations for subsequent growth.

Low Frequency Forced Oscillation Lung Function Test Can Distinguish Dynamic Tissue Non-linearity in COPD Patients

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
This paper introduces the use of low frequencies forced oscillation technique (FOT) in the presence of breathing signal. The hypothesis tested is to evaluate the sensitivity of FOT to various degrees of obstruction in COPD patients. The measurements were
