Summary: This review analysed the challenges and limitations of using indirect calorimetry in patients with sepsis, finding differences in methodology and presentation of results in studies. Multi-center and large sample patient evaluations, along with meta-analysis, could provide a more comprehensive understanding of metabolism in sepsis.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of urinary nitrogen (UN) to estimate urinary energy (UE) excretion and improve the accuracy of estimating metabolizable energy (ME) in Jersey cows. Linear and quadratic regression equations were developed to predict UE from UN, and it was found that a linear regression may be more suitable for predicting UE across varying dietary crude protein levels compared to a quadratic regression. The National Research Council dairy model showed bias in predicting ME as dietary crude protein levels varied, highlighting the importance of accurate UE estimation for better ME prediction.

Summary: The metabolic course during and after critical illness is unclear. This study used indirect calorimetry measurements to determine resting energy expenditure in critically ill ventilated patients. The results showed that the resting energy expenditure in these patients was increased, and it was higher during post-ICU hospitalization compared to ICU stay.

Summary: Indirect calorimetry is strongly recommended for guiding nutrition therapy in critically ill patients, but its superiority in clinical trials is not yet proven. Energy expenditure is influenced by various factors, and personalized calculation is needed for optimal nutrition support.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary fatty acid and starch content, as well as supplemental digestible Lys, on production, energy utilization, and N utilization in Jersey cows. Results showed that increasing dietary FA and starch altered milk production and N balance, while the supply of supplemental Lys became more crucial when dietary starch was low.

Summary: Indirect calorimetry is increasingly recommended in the ICU to guide energy delivery. This review provides a critical overview of current literature to support these recommendations. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to prove a mortality benefit from IC-guided energy delivery.

Summary: This study aimed to assess TEE in cancer patients, identify its predictors, and compare it with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements. The results showed that absolute TEE was higher in males, patients with colon cancer, and patients with obesity. TEE was lower than predicted requirements, indicating the need for improved assessment of energy requirements in cancer patients.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of 4 equations validated for the general population to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) in polio survivors. The equations systematically overestimated REE by more than 20%, especially in men, highlighting the need for a correction factor.

Summary: This study evaluated the acute effects of ingesting ginger infusion on energy metabolism, appetite responses, and food intake in healthy individuals. The results showed that consuming ginger tea increased non-nitrogen energy expenditure and diet-induced thermogenesis, but had no effect on appetite responses and prospective food intake.

Summary: The study found that energy intake in critically ill patients with acute brain injury was lower than their energy needs determined by indirect calorimetry within the first 72 hours of admission, but they reached their 7-day goals. Tube feed calories accounted for 88% of total intake, and protein intake was 0.7 +/- 0.5 g/kg/day.

Summary: The study found that the actual energy expenditure (mEE) of ICU survivors during their post-ICU hospitalization period was around 22-23 kcal/kg/day, while the estimations from predictive equations (HB and WB) were significantly higher than the measured values. The PS equation was more accurate in estimating mEE.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of a Whole-room indirect calorimeter (WRIC) system to determine the optimal experimental conditions for accurate metabolic measurements. The results suggest that maintaining a fractional concentration of carbon dioxide inside the calorimeter >0.2% can lead to a relative uncertainty <5% for outcome metabolic measurements, assuming an accuracy class of 1% for gas analyzer instruments.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with type 1 diabetes experienced decreased adherence to diabetes care, leading to an increase in HbA1c levels, BMI, impaired linear growth, and more hospitalizations. The shift to telemedicine as the main healthcare service also had significant effects on diabetes management.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This psychometric study proposed a scale for estimating the consumption of ultra processed foods using item response theory. The study used data from a representative sample of 2515 adolescents aged 18 and 19 from Brazilian Birth Cohorts Consortium. The findings demonstrated that the proposed scale can accurately estimate the consumption of ultra processed foods and is correlated with latent traits related to food consumption.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
