Article Abstract
Background: To explore the value of early oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed II-IVA stage NPC were analyzed and divided into Early and Routine ONS groups according to whether they received early ONS at the beginning of CCRT. Changes in nutritional indicators, incidence of treatment-related toxicity, radiation interruption, and completion of CCRT were compared.
Results: In total, 161 patients with NPC were analyzed, including 72 in the Early ONS group and 89 in the Routine ONS group. Multivariate analysis showed that early ONS was an independent protective factor for concurrent chemotherapy ≥2 cycles, and a protective factor against ≥grade 3 radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) and weight loss >5%. In stage III-IVA patients, early ONS was beneficial in decreasing the risk of severe malnutrition.
Conclusions: Early ONS can improve nutritional outcomes, reduce RIOM, and enhance treatment adherence.

The tolerance of the fall armyworm () to plant-derived secondary compounds gradually increases with instars. Therefore, even if plant-based additives are applied at early stages, such as the second or third instar, they may have a differential impact on the ecofriendly control of . In this study, larvae were exposed to vanillic acid or sinapic acid at the second and third instar, and physiological and growth parameters were measured.

Malnutrition and cachexia in cancer patients, particularly those with lung cancer, represent a pervasive clinical challenge that compromises treatment outcomes, quality of life, and overall survival. This article analyzes the multifactorial etiology of oncological malnutrition, highlighting the chronic inflammatory state, tumor-induced anorexia, and metabolic abnormalities that accelerate muscle and weight loss. It underscores that rates of malnutrition can range from 30% to 80% across different tumor types, with lung cancer patients especially vulnerable due to their high inflammatory burden.

: Malnutrition is highly prevalent among older patients with hip fractures and significantly impacts recovery and survival. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the prevalence, pathophysiology, and clinical consequences of malnutrition in hip fracture patients, along with diagnostic tools and nutritional interventions. : A literature search of studies from 2000 to 2025 identified consistent associations between malnutrition-defined using tools such as the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and serum albumin levels-and increased risks of postoperative complications, prolonged hospital stays, functional decline, and mortality.

, a ubiquitous inhabitant of human skin, has been known for decades for its capacity to form biofilm-associated infections on indwelling medical devices and has developed into a leading bacterium used in biofilm research. Early investigation on the biofilm matrix focused on "slime," and currently, represents one of the most prevalent organisms for in-vivo biofilm infection models. More recently, has also become a standard for the investigation of host-commensal interactions on human skin, especially the immune response to colonization that is often called "commensal immunity.
