Article Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), encompassing conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, present multifaceted challenges requiring a comprehensive management approach. Patients often necessitate a combination of medical therapy, surgical interventions, and nutritional support. Despite advancements in medical and dietary therapies, the prevalence of surgery remains high among the IBD population, alongside the persistent risk of malnutrition. Preoperative nutritional optimization has thus become a critical element in the perioperative pathway, given its association with improved surgical outcomes. However, standardized protocols for preoperative optimization of IBD patients are lacking, and available data are mainly retrospective. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on preoperative nutritional screening and optimization in IBD patients and identifies avenues for future research and clinical practice. Interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists, surgeons, dietitians, physiotherapists, and psychologists, is crucial for comprehensive preoperative nutritional management in IBD patients. By addressing the interplay between inflammation, malnutrition, and surgical risk, clinicians can strive to enhance surgical care and postoperative outcomes. In conclusion, while recognizing the importance of preoperative nutritional optimization in improving surgical outcomes for IBD patients, challenges persist in standardizing management protocols. Prospective studies are needed to establish such protocols and evaluate the effectiveness of different nutritional strategies.

Background: Albumin and BMI have been used as nutritional markers of morbidity and mortality. Recently, prealbumin has grown in interest in other surgical disciplines, but less so in cardiac surgery. Thus, this study examined the association between prealbumin and bleeding, mortality, and readmission in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.

Background: Preoperative physical frailty is a significant predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of frailty and contributes to postoperative complications. This study investigated the effects of preoperative beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), arginine, and glutamine supplementation on inflammatory markers, nutritional status, and renal function in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Background: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with increased metabolic and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and morbidities. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of these issues in active or remitted CS are not available, so best practice is derived from guidelines developed for the general population. We aimed to evaluate the awareness and practice variation for CV comorbidities of CS across Reference Centres (RCs) of the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN).

Objective: To explore the prognostic value of preoperative hematological indicators for prostate cancer (PCa) patients with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and construct a nomogram prediction model based on hematological indicators and clinicopathological characteristics.

Method: PCa patients who underwent LRP in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinicopathological data and blood indicators, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), prognosis nutritional index were compared between non-recurrence and recurrence groups.
