Treatment with essential amino acids in patients on chronic hemodialysis: a double blind cross-over study.

1978

Patients on chronic hemodialysis may suffer from a latent protein deficiency, and therapy with essential amino acids has been recommended. In a double blind cross-over study, 13 hemodialysis patients received orally 15.7 g of essential amino acids daily over a 3-month period. Patients were on a liberal diet, containing 1 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Hemodialysis was adequate. Therapy resulted in an increase in urea, uric acid, C3 c complement factor and a fall in C4. Lysine levels increased and phenylalanine fell. Malnutrition could not account for the observed metabolic changes, which are more likely due to uremic metabolic disturbances. A liberal diet of 1 g of protei…

Hormonal and psychological factors linked to the increased thermic effect of food in malnourished fasting anorexia nervosa

2007

In patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), weight gain is lower than that expected from the energy content of the meals. Thus we investigated the thermic effect of food (TEF) in relation to subjective feelings and plasma hormone levels in a group of AN patients.TEF, feelings (14 items), and plasma release of beta-endorphin, ACTH, cortisol, dopamine, and catecholamines were evaluated in 15 AN patients (body mass index, 13.6 +/- 1.2 kg.m(-2)) and in 15 healthy women after three gastric loads (0, 300, 700 kcal) infused by a nasogastric tube in a blind design.In AN, the blind loads induced an energy-dependent increase in TEF (P0.001), which was higher than that observed in healthy women (P0.001). …

Eight months of physical training in warm water improves physical and mental health in women with fibromyalgia: a randomized controlled trial.

2008

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of 8 months of supervised exercise therapy in warm water and its effects on the impact of fibromyalgia on physical and mental health and physical fitness in affected women. Methods Thirty women with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to an exercise therapy group (n = 15) or a control group (inactive) (n = 15). The impact of fibromyalgia on physical and mental health was assessed using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire and the anxiety state with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Physical fitness was measured using the following tests: Canadian Aerobic Fitness; hand-grip dynamometry; 10-metre walking; 10-step stair-climbing and blind 1-leg stance. Resul…

Role of Cachexia and Fragility in the Patient Candidate for Cardiac Surgery

2021

Frailty is the major expression of accelerated aging and describes a decreased resistance to stressors, and consequently an increased vulnerability to additional diseases in elderly people. The vascular aging related to frail phenotype reflects the high susceptibility for cardiovascular diseases and negative postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery. Sarcopenia can be considered a biological substrate of physical frailty. Malnutrition and physical inactivity play a key role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia. We searched on Medline (PubMed) and Scopus for relevant literature published over the last 10 years and analyzed the strong correlation between frailty, sarcopenia and cardiovascular…

Boron mobility in deciduous forest trees in relation to their polyols

2004

Summary • Boron (B) has been found to be phloem mobile in species that translocate polyols, whereas it is almost immobile in other species. The objectives of the present study were to survey B mobility in deciduous trees, and to relate it to the presence of polyols. • The stable isotope 10B was applied as a tracer to mature leaves of seedlings, and growing leaves were subsequently harvested for B isotope analysis. • Extensive B mobility was found in Sorbus aucuparia and Prunus padus, species with high sorbitol content, but also in Ulmus glabra, with only trace amounts of B-complexing polyols. Alnus incana, Fraxinus excelsior, Betula pubescens and Larix sibirica also translocated 10B into ne…

Typy kryminalistycznej analizy informacji

2022

Kryminalistyczna analiza informacji jest stosunkowo młodą, choć dynamicznie rozwijającą się dziedziną, wpływającą istotnie na proces wykrywczy oraz proces dowodzenia sądowego. Za najbardziej upowszechnioną na gruncie praktyki śledczej uznać można analizę kryminalną, jednak w literaturze wyróżnia się również analizę wywiadowczą oraz analizę dowodową, które nie mają jeszcze ugruntowanej pozycji. Ponadto, dodatkowym problemem jest brak jednolitego aparatu pojęciowego związanego z kryminalistyczną analizą informacji. Celem tego artykułu jest zaznajomienie Czytelnika z istotą poszczególnych typów analizy informacji oraz wyjaśnienie najistotniejszych pojęć na podstawie współczesnego dorobku nauki…

WITHDRAWN: Evaluation of the flowchart of nutritional management of adult patients hospitalized in medicine, surgery and rehabilitation at the CHR de…

2017

Introduction and aim As part of a nutritional support systematic review of adult patients hospitalized in medicine, surgery and rehabilitation at The Citadel regional hospital (Liege, Belgium), starting on 01/12/2014 and using the liaison committee on feeding and nutrition (CLAN: Comite de liaison alimentation et nutrition ), the nursing department implemented a flowchart. The first part of the NRS-2002 was integrated into the nurse anamnesis. The goal was to evaluate the application of this multidisciplinary flowchart after five months of operation. Material and methods A retrospective study was conducted from April to August 2015. The work of dieticians (12 respondents) and nurses (47 nur…
