The impact of counseling on nutritional status among hematopoietic stem cell recipients: results of a randomized controlled trial by Jabbour, Jana

“…Studies assessing malnutrition rates in HSCT showed that malnutrition rates are low at admission (ranging between 4 and 6%), elevated at hospital discharge (ranging between 35 and 60%), and gradually decreases post discharge [2, 3]. A prospective cohort study suggested that even though patients had improved quality of life, physical activity levels, and lean body mass post HSCT, they did not regain their pre-HSCT levels 100 days post transplantation compared to admission. …”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors, total body BMD and BMD related to specific skeletal sites (including femoral (femoral neck and trochanter), trunk, pelvis and total spine), and the three WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function).Results: After controlling for sociodemographic variables, total body and specific BMD measures did not predict pain. However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. …”
