Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare, inherited human disease. Similar to other neuromuscular dystrophies, EDMD is clinically characterized by muscle atrophy and weakness, multi-joint contractures with spine rigidity, and cardiomyopathy. Over time, muscular weakness can lead to dysphagia and a severe lowering of body mass index (BMI),...

Introduction Migraine is a common and disabling primary headache, and its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Previous studies have suggested that pain can increase humans’ Resting Energy Expenditure (REE). However, no previous study has investigated whether the REE of individuals with migraine differs from the general population. Therefore, t...

Background and aims Many improvements have been made in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in pediatric patients; however, challenges remain in terms of achieving normal growth, body composition, and metabolism during treatment, etc. Current nutritional recommendations are based on studies performed in adults, with limited data on ...

Introduction Energy requirements are difficult to estimate in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Resting energy expenditure (REE), necessary to implement personalized nutritional interventions, is most commonly estimated using prediction formulae since indirect calorimetry, the reference method, is not available in all nutrition units. The aims of ...
Odpoved prebavil je bolezensko stanje, za katero je značilno zmanjšanje črevesne funkcije pod najmanjšo stopnjo, potrebno za absorpcijo hranil in/ali vode ter elektrolitov, zato je za ohranjanje zdravja in/ali rasti potrebno le-te intravensko nadomeščati. Namen raziskave je uvedba indirektne kalorimetrije kot metode, ki bi omogočila bolj natančno n...

Lower resting energy expenditure (REE) may partially explain the disproportionate prevalence of overweight/obesity among black African women. As no previous studies have investigated the REE of Southern African (South. Afr.) children, we aimed to determine, by sex and population group, the REE of 6- to 9-year-old urban school children. In a cross-s...
Intestinal failure is defined as the inability to absorb the minimum of macro and micronutrients, minerals and vitamins due to a reduction in gut function. In a subpopulation of patients with a dysfunctional gastrointestinal system, treatment with total or supplemental parenteral nutrition is required. The golden standard for the determination of e...
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) induces weight loss but its effects on body composition (BC) are less well known. The aims of this longitudinal study were to analyse the BC changes from the acute phase up to weight stabilization following SG. Variations in the biological parameters related to glucose, lipids, inflammation, and resting energy expenditure (R...
Timing of nutrient intake for athletes may affect exercise performance and cardiometabolic factors. Our objective was to examine the effect of time-restricted eating (TRE) on cardiometabolic health. Using a cross-over study design, 15 endurance-trained male runners were randomized to either a normal dietary pattern (ND) first (12 h eating/fasting t...
