Background Indirect calorimetry (IC) provides an accurate measure of energy expenditure, which informs energy requirements. Achieving energy and protein requirements is fundamental in nutrition care. This study aims to determine if the energy requirements informed by IC and estimated protein requirements …

Background Reduced aerobic capacity predicts poor postoperative outcomes in liver transplant candidates. While exercise is safe and effective, adherence remains a challenge. Home-based prehabilitation may improve participation, especially when tailored to the patient's fitness level. Objective To evaluate …

RNA metabolism is governed by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which regulate gene expression in cells, including immune system cells. Cells overcome stressing factors to ensure survival by employing a wide range of mechanisms that mitigate damage and restore homeostasis. One of the mechanisms is the formation …

The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is widely used for enzyme production, especially due to its superior protein secretion capacity. In this study, we have investigated how efficient transcriptome analysis can identify general and protein-specific secretion stress. For this, we constructed …

OBJECTIVES:  To counteract sarcopenia in non-Western migrant older adults, lifestyle interventions with increased physical activity and adequate dietary protein intake are promising. However, regular community-based lifestyle interventions often lack a culture-sensitive approach. The aim of this study …

This study examines the role of host inflammation in the high mortality of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and identifies potential biomarkers associated with improved survival. We conducted a case-control study involving 131 patients in a discovery cohort, 81 TBM patients in a validation cohort, and 43 …

Purpose The Optimal Physical Recovery After Hospitalization (OPRAH) Intervention is a blended intervention, combining a smartphone app for self-monitoring of physical activity and protein intake with coaching from a physiotherapist and dietician, to enhance the functional recovery after gastro-intestinal …

Objective Hemodialysis (HD) patients face challenges in upholding dietary compliance. This study aimed to compare dietary intake against disease-specific guidelines. Secondary, to assess the overall diet quality and to explore the association between dietary potassium intake and serum potassium concentrations. …

The increasing temperature of the past years has a negative impact on the agricultural sector. This is affecting crop growth negatively, as a result from the heat and drought stress the crops are experiencing. Moreover, the experienced heat and drought stress results in erosion of the soil, causing …

Background Standard care for older outpatients who are at risk of malnutrition in Indonesia is still based on the 2017’s recommendations of the Indonesian Geriatrics Society. and does not provide nutritional supplementation as recommended by ESPEN guidelines 2019/2022. Objective We compared the effects …
