Summary: The study aimed to determine the reference range and cutoff values for early detection of breast cancer-related lymphedema using bioelectrical impedance technology, with significant differences found between healthy individuals and patients with lymphedema. The Youden index-based cutoff points and mean + 2SD showed similar identification capacity for lymphedema, with the former seeming to distinguish more patients than the mean + 3SD values.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in assessing the outcomes of lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema. The results showed a strong correlation between segmental multifrequency BIA and circumferential volume measurement before and after LVA. Therefore, segmental multifrequency BIA can be a useful tool for evaluating lymphedema severity and monitoring the effectiveness of LVA.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the effect of inhibiting Th2 inflammation in lymphedema by using QBX258, a combination of IL4/13 neutralizing antibodies, and found that it improved quality of life and reduced pathological skin changes in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Treatment with QBX258 showed improvements in skin stiffness and quality of life measurements, particularly in physical and social aspects, with histological evidence of decreased epidermal changes and cytokine expression in lymphedematous skin.

Summary: With advancements in breast cancer treatments, the focus is now shifting towards post-treatment complications like BCRL, with emphasis on early detection and intervention for improved prognosis. The lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria for BCRL has led to variations in practices across institutions, highlighting the need for universal standardized diagnostic processes.

Summary: The study found that acutely violating BIA measurement assumptions does not significantly alter predicted percent fat mass values across different conditions, especially under different body mass index categories. Although women may experience larger percent fat mass differences than men during dehydration, overall the errors were relatively small.

Summary: In obese patients, higher body fat mass is associated with NASH, rather than sarcopenia. The study found that patients with NASH had significantly higher fat mass, while SMM and SMI associated with NASH also increased significantly.

Summary: This scoping review evaluates the scientific and clinical evidence on the use of BIA for body composition assessment in oncology patients. The findings suggest that BIA is a suitable and valid method for body composition assessment in cancer patients and has potential clinical value in preoperative risk evaluation, reducing postoperative complications and hospital stay, and predicting prognosis.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine if acute, localized resistance exercise influences body composition estimates from DXA and BIA. The results showed that upper-extremity resistance exercise can artificially influence BIA body fluid and composition estimates, whereas DXA may be robust to the acute biological error introduced by resistance exercise. Therefore, DXA may be suitable for body composition assessments in less standardized situations.

Summary: This study investigates the therapeutic outcomes of liposuction for cancer-related lower extremity lymphedema. The results show that liposuction is an effective therapy for this condition, and factors such as sex, stage, and history of recurrent erysipelas can influence the effectiveness of liposuction.

Summary: This study successfully monitored the bio-impedance changes in free flaps following vascular compromise in a rat model using a BIA system. The experimental group showed significantly higher bio-impedances compared to the control group, with an increasing trend over time, indicating the potential for using BIA to monitor vascular status of flaps.

Summary: The metabolic benefits of time-restricted eating (TRE) in humans are statistically significant but not clinically relevant. This study compared the effects of a TRE regimen with a time-unrestricted (TUE) regimen on patients with obesity. The results show that TRE led to a slightly greater weight loss compared to TUE, but there were no significant differences in other variables. The changes in gut microbiota composition induced by TRE were of uncertain clinical significance.
