We aimed to assess the association between gastrointestinal (GI) injury, complaints, and food intake in 60-km ultramarathon runners. Thirty-three ultramarathon runners provided pre- and post-race blood samples for assessment of GI injury by intestinal fatty-acid binding protein (I-FABP), and inflammatory …

There is a lack of evidence to guide district nurses in using nurse-sensitive patient outcomes as it is unclear how these outcomes are currently used in daily district nursing practice. Therefore, we aimed to explore (1) which nurse-sensitive patient outcomes are measured and how these outcomes are measured, …

De relatie tussen spiermassa en chemo-toxiciteit en de implicaties hiervan voor de dieetbehandeling en prehabilitatie.

Rationale: Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Whereas estimation of fat-free muscle mass index (FFMi) with bio-electrical impedance is often used, less is known about muscle thickness measured with ultrasound (US) as a parameter for malnutrition. …
