Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.

The associations between sarcopenia risk, malnutrition, and mortality in adults admitted to an intensive care unit: A prospective, cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcopenia and malnutrition are associated with mortality, including in adults admitted to an intensive care unit. However, their relationships with each other and with intensive care unit mortality, independently, in mechanically ventilated adults are unclear.

Malnutrition in cancer surgery: A retrospective study on screening practices and outcomes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Preoperative nutrition risk screening and referral for optimization are recommended for patients undergoing cancer surgery; however, despite high‐risk individuals being identified, referral remains variable. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of preoperative undernutrition risk and body mass index (BMI)‐defined ...

Age‐related population level decoupling of obstructive sleep apnea severity from body mass index: Insights from over 40,000 patients across the adult lifespan

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Study Objectives Obesity is a major determinant of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, but its influence may vary across adulthood. We examined age‐related patterns of body mass index (BMI), apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), and hypoxemic burden, and assessed whether the association between BMI and OSA severity attenuates with age.
