Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of regular consumption of four low- or no-calorie sweeteners on glycemic response in healthy women: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of regular exposure to certain low- or no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) on glucose tolerance and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) release in healthy individuals. ⋯ gov as NCT04904133.

Multicenter Study
Analysis of ESPEN and GLIM algorithms reveals specific drivers for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
Disease-related malnutrition (MN) is common in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), short bowel syndrome (SBS), and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Different MN risk screening tools and diagnostic criteria of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) algorithms were analyzed for their diagnostic accuracy and role as specific drivers to diagnose MN in patients with LC, SBS, and CP. ⋯ RFH-NPT and MUST performed better in conjunction with the GLIM algorithm than NRS-2002. MN was diagnosed more frequently by GLIM than the ESPEN algorithm in LC, SBS, and CP. Individual criteria acted as specific drivers in MN in chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

The aim of this study was to explore the association between dietary fatty foods and the risk for bladder cancer. ⋯ Intake of nuts and marine fish may be beneficial for the prevention of bladder cancer. The protective effect of milk and dairy products was only found in men with bladder cancer. High soybean oil intake was a risk factor for bladder cancer.

Adults with diabetes are at an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and food insecurity may be a major and underappreciated risk compounder in this population. We sought to analyze the prevalence of food insecurity and its association with ASCVD in adults with diabetes. ⋯ We showed that 13% of U.S. adults with diabetes are food insecure, which was associated with ASCVD independent of traditional and socioeconomic risk factors. Our findings emphasize the importance of recognizing food insecurity as a driver of ASCVD in adults with diabetes, and encourage future efforts at reducing this disparity.

This study aimed to analyze the performance of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and Royal Free Hospital Global Assessment (RFH-GA) scores in predicting 12-mo mortality in patients awaiting liver transplantation. ⋯ The GLIM criteria were a good predictor of increased risk of mortality in malnourished patients with chronic liver disease awaiting liver transplantation, compared with the SGA and RFH-GA scores and the MELD-Na index.
