Observational Study
Nutrition care processes from intensive care unit admission to inpatient rehabilitation: A retrospective observational study.
Extended duration of nutrition interventions in critical illness is a plausible mechanism of benefit and of interest to inform future research. The aim of this study was to describe nutrition processes of care from intensive care unit (ICU) admission to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. ⋯ Rehabilitation LOS was longer than in the ICU or acute wards, yet patients in rehabilitation were assessed the least by a dietitian and time to assessment was longest. Symptoms that impact nutrition intake were common; nutrition interventions beyond the acute care setting in critical illness need investigation.

Survival after childhood cancer has significantly improved in recent decades. Nevertheless, an increased incidence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease among childhood cancer survivors (CCS) has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether fat-to-lean mass ratio (FLR) is associated with a dysmetabolic profile in CCS. ⋯ An increased FLR is suggestive of altered body composition phenotype, allowing identification of CCS at higher risk of metabolic syndrome. Diet and physical activity are needed from commencement of oncological treatments to preserve overall nutritional status and maintain it over the long term.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum uric acid (SUA) with adiposity, adipokines, and anti- and oxidative markers in Brazilian children. ⋯ SUA was positively associated with adiposity, RBP4, and antioxidative status in Brazilian children.

Review Meta Analysis
Regional and sex differences in the mortality risk associated with primary liver cancer in obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Obesity has increasingly become a prominent public health problem. Although some studies have shown that obesity is associated with the risk for primary liver cancer (PLC)-related mortality, the regional and sex differences are not clear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to further elucidate the influence of obesity on PLC prognosis from multiple aspects. ⋯ This study demonstrated a stronger association between obesity and PLC-related mortality in North America and Europe and among men.

The aim of the present study was to examine the dose-response relationship between trunk tissue composition and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in middle-aged Japanese men. ⋯ Increase in IntraMAT content, not in skeletal muscle CSA, significantly correlated with the prevalence of MetS. These results suggest that countermeasures against the accumulation of trunk IntraMAT effectively prevent MetS in middle-aged Japanese men.
