Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and heart failure (HF) are increasing in prevalence. The independent association between NAFLD downstream risk of HF subtypes (HF with preserved ejection fraction reduced fraction) is not well established. Methods Results This was a retrospective, cohort study among Medicare beneficiaries. We selected beneficiaries without known prior diagnosis HF. defined using presence 1 inpatient or 2 outpatient claims International Classification...
Background & aimsIndirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold-standard for determining measured resting energy expenditure (mREE) in critical illness. When IC not available, predicted (pREE) equations are commonly utilized, which often inaccurately predict metabolic demands leading to over- or under-feeding. This study aims longitudinally assess mREE via critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection throughout entirety of, prolonged, intensive care unit (ICU) stays and compare...
Invasive exercise right heart catheterization is a gold standard in diagnosing failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Body positions during the test influence hemodynamics. However, discrepancy HFpEF diagnosis between testing supine versus upright position unknown.
Iatrogenic malnutrition and underfeeding are ubiquitous in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide for prolonged periods after ICU admission. A major driver leading to the lack of emphasis on timely nutrition delivery is objective data guide care. If we ultimately overcome current fundamental challenges effective delivery, must all adopt routine objective, longitudinal measurement energy targets via indirect calorimetry (IC). Key evidence supporting use IC includes (1) universal societal...
In mechanically ventilated adults, thickening fraction of diaphragm (dTF) measured by ultrasound is used to predict extubation success. Whether dTF can also success in children unclear.To investigate the association between and children. Second, assess thickness during ventilation correlation dTF, (Tdi), age body surface.Prospective observational cohort study aged 0-18 years old with expected invasive for >48 h. Ultrasound was performed on day 1 after intubation (baseline), 4, 7, 10, at...
Sarcopenia has been recognized as a determining factor in surgical outcomes and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications readmission. Diagnosis currently based on clinical guidelines, which includes assessment skeletal muscle mass but not quality. Ultrasound proposed useful point-of-care diagnostic tool to assess quality, no validated cut-offs for sarcopenia have reported. Using novel automated artificial intelligence (AI) software interpret ultrasound images may...
Abstract Objective The purpose of the present study was to investigate association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) measured as peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak , expressed in mL/min) and body mass index (BMI) a large cohort apparently healthy subjects. Methods BMI VO were cross-sectional 8470 adults. (mL/min) determined by an incremental cycle ergometer test exhaustion. Linear regression analyses performed identify predictors CRF. Results There no difference CRF adults with normal weight...
Introduction Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) can be a curative therapy for hematologic disorders, it is associated with treatment-related complications and losses in cardiorespiratory fitness physical function. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) may practical way to rapidly improve function the weeks prior HCT. The primary aim of this study was assess feasibility implementing pre-HCT home-based HIIT intervention. secondary evaluate pre post changes...
