International nutritional screening tools are recommended for hospitalized patients risk, but no tool has been specifically evaluated in the Brazilian population. The aim of this study was to identify most appropriate predicting unfavorable clinical outcomes admitted a public university hospital.The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), and Malnutrition Universal Tool (MUST) were administered 705 within 48 h hospital admission....

Obesity is a worldwide epidemiologic syndrome characterized by fat mass accumulation, mainly visceral fat. Current thinking considers potential role of gut microbiota on the development obesity and its related comorbidities. Gut can influence energy extraction from food, lipid metabolism, immune response endocrine functions profile has shown to differs between obese lean subjects. This short revision resumes main findings that contributed build current background linking changes in with...

Prebiotics positively affect gut microbiota composition, thus improving function. These properties may be useful for the treatment of constipation.This study assessed tolerance and effectiveness a prebiotic inulin/partially hydrolyzed guar gum mixture (I-PHGG) constipation in females, as well its influence on composition intestinal production short chain fatty acids.Our enrolled 60 constipated female health worker volunteers. Participants reported less than 3 bowel movements per week....

Gut microbiota composition is influenced by environmental factors and has been shown to impact body metabolism. Objective: To assess the gut profile before after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) correlation with food intake postoperative type 2 diabetes remission (T2Dr). Design: from obese diabetic women was evaluated (n = 25) 3 20) 12 months 14) RYGB, using MiSeq Illumina-based V4 bacterial 16S rRNA gene profiling. Data on (7-day record) T2Dr (American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria)...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions arising from an intricate interplay of genetics and environmental factors, associated with gut dysbiosis, inflammation, permeability. In this study, we investigated whether the inflammatory potential diet is microbiota profile, permeability in forty patients IBD clinical remission. The dietary index (DII) score was used to assess diet. fecal profile analyzed using 16SrRNA (V3-V4) gene sequencing, while zonulin calprotectin levels were...

Abstract Background : Ascites in cirrhotic patients interfere with accurate assessment of skeletal muscle when diagnosing sarcopenia. We hypothesized measurement appendicular index (ASMI) dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) improves the diagnosis sarcopenia as ASMI does not include fluid‐filled abdominal compartment. Objective To evaluate if is influenced by ascites, lower limb edema (LLE) and predicts mortality alone or combined handgrip strength (HGS) patients. Design ASMI, HGS,...

SummaryBody composition has great importance in the value of energy expenditure. Reduced expenditure plays an important role development obesity by decreasing resting expenditure, activity, diet-induced thermogenesis, or a combination all these components. It thus contributes to positive balance and subsequent weight gain. Obesity, therefore, can be considered, among other aspects, consequence imbalance; that is, intake greater than spent certain period. In order have stability body it would...

The etiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear, with both genetic and environmental factors potentially contributing. This study aimed to explore the relationship among gut microbiota (GM), intestinal permeability, food intake inflammatory markers in inactive SLE patients. A total 22 women 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled, dietary was assessed through 24-h recalls. Plasma zonulin used evaluate while GM determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Regression models analyze...

Gut microbiota has been implicated in various clinical conditions, yet the substantial heterogeneity gut research results necessitates a more sophisticated approach than merely identifying statistically different microbial taxa between healthy and unhealthy individuals. Our study seeks to not only select but also explore their synergy with phenotypic host variables develop novel predictive models for specific conditions. Design: We assessed 50 152 individuals (PV) (GM) composition by 16S...

Calculating the estimated resting energy expenditure (REE) in severely obese patients is useful, but there controversy concerning effectiveness of available prediction equations (PE) using body weight (BW). We evaluated efficacy REE against indirect calorimetry (IC) subjects and aimed to develop a new equation based on composition compartments. One hundred twenty had their measured (MREE) by IC compared most commonly used PE (Harris‐Benedict (HB), Ireton‐Jones, Owen, Mifflin St. Jeor). In...
