BACKGROUND: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) and heightened inflammation are prevalent in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and is a strong risk factor for morbidity and mortality in these patients. Evaluation of PEW, prevalence of inflammation as well as...

Prealbumin/CRP Based Prognostic Score, a New Tool for Predicting Metastasis in Patients with Inoperable Gastric Cancer.

Gastroenterology research and practice

Esfahani A, Makhdami N, Faramarzi E, Asghari Jafarabadi M, Ostadrahimi A, Ghayour Nahand M, Ghoreishi Z.

Background. There is a considerable dissimilarity in the survival duration of the patients with gastric cancer. We aimed to assess the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) and nutritional status of these patients before the commencement of chemotherapy to find the...

A simple and effective prognostic staging system based on clinicopathologic features of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

American journal of cancer research

Zhou H, Jiang X, Li Q, Hu J, Zhong Z, Wang H, Wang H, Yang B, Hu H.
PMID: 26175951
Am J Cancer Res. 2015 Apr 15;5(5):1831-43. eCollection 2015.

UNLABELLED: Incidence and mortality of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are increasing. However, its prognostic predictive system associated with outcome after surgery remains poorly defined. In this study, we conducted retrospective survival analyses in a primary cohort of 370 patients who...

The relationships of serum prealbumin levels with parameters that indicate severity of disease and emphysema pattern in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The Eurasian journal of medicine

Gocmen H, Ediger D, Uzaslan E, Doganay S, Guney NA, Ege E.
PMID: 25610137
Eurasian J Med. 2010 Dec;42(3):105-10. doi: 10.5152/eajm.2010.31.

OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition, which is a complication frequently observed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and negatively affects prognosis, has become a parameter that must be monitored. Even though various methods are applied to assess malnutrition, biochemical parameters, especially serum...

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2015 Feb 11;5:245. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2014.00245. eCollection 2014.

Often, we elucidate evolutionary processes backwards, starting with eutherian mammals and gradually climbing down the evolutionary tree to those species who have survived since long before mammals evolved. This is also true for elucidating the evolution of specific proteins,...

Nutritional status in non-alcoholic sub-clinical porto-systemic encephalopathy.

World journal of gastroenterology

Yang SS, Wu CH, Chen LL, Mo SC, Chen DF.

World J Gastroenterol. 1998 Oct;4(5):380-384. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v4.i5.380.

AIM:To understand the role of nutritional status in cirrhotic patients without clinical porto-systemic encephalopathy (PSE).METHODS:Fifty-one non-alcoholic patients with cirrhosis without PSE were studied prospectively and compared with 20 healthy volunteers. The nutritional evaluation included serum prealbumin, albumin, transferrin, body...
