Abstract Background Chemotherapy is an effective treatment with good clinical response in patients cancer. However, it can cause exacerbated toxicities and consequently change the course of treatment. Some factors may interfere this toxicity such as body composition, especially gastrointestinal The aim study was to evaluate effects nutritional status, functional capacity scale predicting occurrence cancer during chemotherapy Methods This a prospective at beginning Sarcopenia muscle...
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...
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...
The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of isolated nutrition indicators in diagnosing malnutrition patients with gastric and colorectal cancer their association mortality.Prospective cohort involving (n = 178) attending a reference center oncology at any point disease trajectory or treatment. Nutrition status was evaluated unique moment by body mass index (BMI), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), handgrip strength (HGS), calf circumference (CC). Kappa coefficient,...
The lipid accumulation product (LAP) index is an abdominal adiposity marker.The aim of this study was to describe the cardiovascular risk primary healthcare users through LAP and correlate it with anthropometric biochemical indicators.Cross-sectional in care units a city northeastern Brazil.The subjects responded structured questionnaire that contained questions about their sociodemographic condition, then underwent nutritional assessment. values were expressed as three degrees intensity:...
Objective A large number of studies have used abdominal computed tomography (CT) to quantify body composition, and different software programmes been perform these analyses. Thus, this comparison is important enable researchers know the performance more accessible software. Subjects methods Fifty-four CT scans obese (BMI 30 39.9 kg/m2), sedentary adults (24-41 years) patients from a Brazilian single center were selected. Two programs compared: Slice-O-Matic (Tomovision, Canada) version 5.0...
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype among users primary health care using two different cutoff points used in literature. Methods: evaluated adults and elderly individuals both sexes who attended same level care. HTGW was determined with measurements circumference (WC) triglyceride levels compared proposed by National Cholesterol Education Program – NCEP/ATP III (WC ≥102 cm for men ≥88 women; ≥150 mg/dL sexes) Lemieux et al ≥90 ≥85...
Introduction: In the last decade, an increasing number of studies investigated markers Sedentary Behavior (SB) and Physical Activity (PA) in school-age children since they lead to nutritional status changes this group. Objective: To analyze associations between maternal factors SB PA schoolchildren. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 410 mothers enrolled first fifth year municipal schools Santa Cruz, RN, Brazil. By applying questionnaires, socioeconomic variables family,...
Imbalanced dietary intake is associated with the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and often observed during active phases Crohn’s disease (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC). Cumulative data also suggest potential for manipulation in avoiding IBD relapse. However, there a paucity from patients clinical remission to guide such an approach. Our study aimed characterize pattern adequacy remission. Data on (three alternate 24 h food records) were collected 40 (20 CD 20 UC) 45...
Abstract Objective: This study evaluates the effects of sarcopenia and cachexia on quality life (QoL) patients with gastrointestinal cancer during their initial cycle chemotherapy, emphasizing significance computed tomography (CT) in assessing muscle mass. Materials Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 60 adult who started chemotherapy between January December 2017. Sarcopenia was diagnosed basis CT findings, QoL assessed European Organization for Research Treatment Cancer...
