Summary: This study aimed to assess body composition using bioelectrical impedance and food intake in juvenile dermatomyositis patients. The findings suggest that bioelectrical impedance can be a useful auxiliary exam in the medical and nutritional follow-up of JDM patients.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional status and mortality in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The phase angle (PhA) derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis was found to be a parameter of nutritional status and a marker of mortality. The results showed that patients with lower PhA values had a higher risk of malnutrition and lower survival rates. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Summary: This study found that the gluten-free diet is associated with an increased risk of weight gain and the development of metabolic disorders. Evaluating the nutritional status using specific parameters, the study found that patients with celiac disease had a poorer nutritional status at diagnosis compared to healthy controls, but their nutritional status significantly improved after following a gluten-free diet.

Summary: The study found that SSc patients had lower values of phase angle, basal metabolic rate, and body cellular mass, along with an increase in extracellular water compared to healthy controls. Age correlated with ECW and inversely with PhA in SSc patients. Female sex, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, reflux, and early satiety/abdominal distension were associated with relevant alterations in BIVA results.

Summary: A thorough understanding of body composition assessment techniques is crucial for developing personalized nutritional programs. The potential application and effectiveness of these techniques in different physiological and pathological conditions, as well as their role in monitoring dietary interventions, should be considered. Bioimpedance analysis, particularly vector frequency-based analysis (BIVA) systems, is currently the most effective and reliable method for assessing body composition due to its advantages in terms of speed, non-invasiveness, and cost efficiency.

Summary: This study examined the interchangeability between bioelectrical impedance analysis and manual measurements of arm circumference and arm muscle circumference, and investigated their relationship with sarcopenia. The results showed that the values obtained using bioelectrical impedance analysis were interchangeable with manual measurements, and decreased arm muscle circumference was significantly associated with sarcopenia risk.

Summary: Long-term respirator users need to be transferred to a respiratory care center for weaning. Malnutrition in critical care patients can lead to respiratory muscle mass reduction and decreased ventilatory capacity. This study suggests that improving nutritional status can help patients wean from respirators.

Summary: Body composition measurement plays a crucial role in the nutritional management of patients with chronic kidney disease. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been widely used to detect body composition changes in different stages of kidney disease. This review summarizes the latest research findings on the application of BIA in nutritional management.

Summary: This preliminary analysis examined the relationship between sarcopenia, nutritional status, and recovery in stroke patients. The study found that sarcopenic patients had worse muscle quality and lower nutritional scores. Additionally, they exhibited slower functional recovery during rehabilitation. The results highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and evaluation of sarcopenia and nutritional status to improve outcomes for post-stroke patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between early posttransplant standardized phase angle (SPhA) and the nutrition status of hemodialysis patients, as well as the prediction of handgrip strength (HGS) 6 months after kidney transplantation. The results showed that lower SPhA values were associated with protein-energy wasting and could predict HGS after transplantation.

Summary: The study aimed to correlate the nutritional status of critically ill patients with 28-day mortality and establish cut-off values for BIA and USG methods. Results showed that RFM sectional area was an independent predictor of 28-day mortality, and patients with higher phase angle and RFM sectional area had better survival rates.

Summary: Patients undergoing major head and neck surgery are at risk of malnutrition, with perioperative fluid administration impacting postoperative nutritional status and complication rates. High-volume perioperative fluid administration is associated with increased extra-cellular water percentages and lower phase-angle scores, leading to higher complication rates and longer hospital stays postoperatively. Adjusted, low-volume perioperative fluid regimens may help reduce postoperative morbidity in patients with comorbidities.

Summary: Malnutrition is common in critically ill patients and is associated with worse outcomes. Various technological modalities have been developed to identify high nutritional risk patients and guide nutritional support to optimize outcomes. However, the effectiveness of these methods in improving outcomes in critically ill patients still needs to be validated.

Summary: Phase angle is a useful indicator for distinguishing malnutrition and sarcopenia in acute stroke patients. Among 211 stroke patients, 18.0% had malnutrition and 30.8% had sarcopenia. The phase angle correlated significantly with GNRI, grip strength, skeletal muscle mass index, and calf circumference in both men and women. The cut-off points for discriminating malnutrition were 5.05 for men and 3.96 for women, while the cut-off points for discriminating sarcopenia were 5.28 for men and 4.62 for women. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that GNRI and sarcopenia were independently related to the phase angle.

Summary: A new staging system for cancer cachexia (CC) was developed and validated in this study, classifying CC into three stages and demonstrating its ability to predict outcomes, including quality of life and overall survival. Patients with refractory cachexia had significantly worse outcomes compared to other groups.
