Impact of disease activity on resting energy expenditure and body composition in adult Crohn's disease: a prospective longitudi
Gastroenterology | FFM, BFM, Protein | Gong J et al. | 2014 | Korea | Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
Background: There is controversy about nutrition status and calorie needs during phases of active versus inactive adult Crohn's disease (CD). Results have been reported in cross‐sectional studies, but longitudinal data are unavailable. Our aim was to explore whether disease activity had an impact on resting energy expenditure (REE) and body composition in adult patients with CD. Materials and Methods: Adult patients were studied on 2 occasions with active and inactive CD. REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Body composition …
A model for predicting the future risk of incident erosive esophagitis in an asymptomatic population undergoing regular check-u
Gastroenterology | BFM | Kang SH et al. | 2016 | Korea | Medicine (Baltimore)
Erosive esophagitis is a major risk factor for Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Information regarding the putative risk factors for developing erosive esophagitis is considerably heterogeneous; thus, a risk model is required to clinically predict the incidence of erosive esophagitis. This study was to derive and validate a predictive model for the incidence of developing erosive esophagitis after negative index endoscopy in a population subjected to routine health check-ups. This retrospective cohort study of health …
Associations between body composition and nutritional assessments and biochemical markers in patients with chronic radiation en
Gastroenterology | TBW, ECW, ICW, FFM, BFM, BCM | Cai Z et al. | 2016 | China | Nutrition Journal
Background: Chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) is defined as loss of absorptive capacity after irradiation due to chronic inflammation and damage of intestinal mucosa, which may lead to varying degrees of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential correlation between the nutritional status and systemic inflammation in patients with CRE. Methods: Medical records of 92 patients with CRE and 184 age-and sex-matched controls in a single center from January 2010 to October 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. All …
Elderly women who received Helicobacter pylori-eradicating therapy have reduced risk of low skeletal muscle mass
Gastroenterology | %SMM, PBF | Baeg MK et al. | 2015 | Korea | Clinical Interventions in Aging
Background Sarcopenia is associated with adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poorer quality of life, and death. Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication increases ghrelin secretion, which may be a possible treatment for sarcopenia. We investigated whether HP eradication reduces the risk of low muscle mass (LMM), which is an integral component of sarcopenia. Materials and methods Healthy, asymptomatic women aged≥ 60 years who participated in a health screening program were enrolled. Subjects with a history of HP …
Subtotal stomach in esophageal reconstruction surgery achieves an anastomotic leakage rate of less than 1%
Gastroenterology | SMM | Yoshida et al. | 2020 | Japan | Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery
Aim The objective of this retrospective, single‐institution study was to assess the safety and feasibility of reconstruction using subtotal stomach (SS) with esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer (EC). Although several different gastric‐tube‐making and anastomotic methods have been reported, the incidence rate of anastomotic leakage with EC surgery is generally reported over 10%. Complications should be avoided, and patient quality of life (QOL) should be maintained postoperatively. We have used SS reconstruction …
Handgrip strength index predicts nutritional status as a complement to body mass index in Crohn's disease
Gastroenterology | SMM, BFM, BCM, BMC | Lu ZL et al. | 2016 | China | Journal of Crohn's and Colitis
Background: Body mass index [BMI] is widely used to measure nutritional status in Crohn's disease [CD] patients, but limitations remain. Measuring handgrip strength index, in addition to BMI, may aid in overcoming limitations. Methods: A total of 150 patients with CD and 254 controls were included in this study. All patients and controls underwent BMI, handgrip strength and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis included body cell mass, bone mineral content, skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass. A total of 88 …
Differences in clinical characteristics between patients with non-erosive reflux disease and erosive esophagitis in Korea
Gastroenterology | BMI, WHR, Obesity degree | Ha NR et al. | 2010 | Korea | Journal of Korean Medical Science
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. GERD can be divided into two groups, erosive esophagitis and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with erosive esophagitis to those with NERD. All participating patients underwent an upper endoscopy during a voluntary health check-up. The NERD group consisted of 500 subjects with classic GERD symptoms in the absence of esophageal …
