Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide. Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) may be at increased cardiovascular risk. This review provides an overview of clinical and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors, explores the connections between body composition (including fat mass and ectopic fat) and cardiovascular risk, and examines various methods for evaluating body composition. It particularly focuses on nutritional ultrasound, given its emerging availability and practical utility in clinical settings. Possible causes of increased cardiometabolic risk in PKU are also explored, including an increased intake of carbohydrates, chronic exposure to amino acids, and characteristics of microbiota. It is important to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors and body composition in patients with PKU. We suggest systematic monitoring of body composition to develop nutritional management and hydration strategies to optimize performance within the limits of nutritional therapy.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 57:173-180. [PMID: 37739653 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.06.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ultrasound has been used primarily as a tool for body composition measurement in the field of clinical nutrition. Although many recent reports have demonstrated that ultrasound could be a useful tool for nutritional assessment, it is not well incorporated into registered dietitians' (RDs) practice. The aim of this review was to summarize the usefulness of ultrasound in assessing body composition and nutritional status and in nutritional management by RDs. METHODS Studies on ultrasonography, nutritionists, body composition, nutritional assessment, and diet therapy was searched using the MEDLINE databases. RESULTS After reviewing the articles, we categorized them into the following topics; 1) principles of muscle measurement using the ultrasound, types of muscle that can be measured, 2) indices of muscle and muscle mass and quality as assessed using ultrasound and its relationship to nutritional indicator, 3) diagnosis of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria malnutrition using ultrasound, 4) practical nutritional management using ultrasound and 5) education and issues for ultrasound implementation. Ultrasound can evaluate low body mass index, unintentional loss of body weight, low skeletal muscle mass index, decreased food intake/assimilation, and disease burden/inflammation, all which are essential items of the phenotypic and etiologic criteria of the GLIM. CONCLUSION Ultrasound may be useful for RDs to perform body composition measurement, nutritional assessment, and nutritional management. It will be important to identify the cutoff values for ultrasound-based measurements of muscle mass. In order for RDs to perform a body composition measurement, nutritional assessment, and nutritional management using ultrasound, educational issues need to be addressed.

Abstract
Nutritional ultrasound® is a new concept that uses ultrasound to assess body composition. It is composed of the evaluation of fat-free mass and fat mass. It is an emerging, economical, portable, non-invasive technique that evaluates the musculoskeletal area with linear, broadband, multifrequency probes, with a depth field of 20-100mm. It quantifies muscle modifications in malnutrition and provides information on functional changes (echogenicity). Although there are no validated specific cut-off points, the anterior rectum area of the quadriceps can be used as a criterion for malnutrition. The distribution of adipose tissue provides information on the energy reserve and the inflammatory pattern. It is important to integrate nutritional ultrasound® measures in clinical practice adapted to different settings and pathologies. It is necessary to establish training plans in nutritional ultrasound® for use by Endocrinology and Nutrition Specialists, with the aim of improving the diagnosis and treatment of their patients.

Nutritional Ultrasound of Rectus Femoris Muscle, a Potential Tool. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14234988. [PMID: 36501018 PMCID: PMC9740630 DOI: 10.3390/nu14234988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The loss of muscle mass in post-critical COVID-19 outpatients is difficult to assess due to the limitations of techniques and the high prevalence of obesity. Ultrasound is an emerging technique for evaluating body composition. The aim is to evaluate sarcopenia and its risk factors, determining ultrasound usefulness as a potential tool for this purpose according to established techniques, such as the bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA), handgrip strength, and timed up-and-go test. Methods: This is a transversal study of 30 post-critical COVID-19 outpatients. We evaluated nutritional status by ultrasound (Rectus Femoris-cross-sectional-area (RF-CSA), thickness, and subcutaneous-adipose-tissue), BIVA, handgrip strength, timed up-and-go test, and clinical variables during admission. Results: According to The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (ESPEN&EASO) Consensus for Sarcopenic and Obesity, in terms of excess fat mass and decreased lean mass, the prevalence of class-1 sarcopenic obesity was 23.4% (n = 7), and class-2 sarcopenic obesity was 33.3% (n = 10) in our study. A total of 46.7% (n = 14) of patients had a handgrip strength below the 10th percentile, and 30% (n = 9) achieved a time greater than 10s in the timed up-and-go test. There were strong correlations between the different techniques that evaluated the morphological (BIVA, Ultrasound) and functional measurements of muscle. Intensive care unit stay, mechanical ventilation, and age all conditioned the presence of sarcopenia in COVID-19 outpatients (R2 = 0.488, p = 0.002). Predictive models for sarcopenic diagnosis based on a skeletal muscle index estimation were established by RF-CSA (R2 0.792, standard error of estimate (SEE) 1.10, p < 0.001), muscle-thickness (R2 0.774, SEE 1.14, p < 0.001), and handgrip strength (R2 0.856, SEE 0.92, p < 0.001). RF-CSA/weight of 5.3 cm2/kg × 100 was the cut-off value for predicting sarcopenia in post-critical COVID-19 outpatients, with 88.2 sensitivity and 69.2% specificity. Conclusion: More than half of the post-critical COVID-19 survivors had sarcopenic obesity and functional impairment of handgrip strength. Intensive care unit stay, age, and mechanical ventilation all predict sarcopenia. An ultrasound, when applied to the assessment of body composition in post-critical COVID-19 patients, provided the possibility of assessing sarcopenia in this population.

Abstract
Quantification and monitoring of lean body mass is an important component of nutrition assessment to determine nutrition status and muscle loss. The negative impact of reduced muscle mass and muscle function is increasingly evident across acute and chronic disease states but is particularly pronounced in patients with cancer. Ultrasound is emerging as a promising tool to directly measure skeletal muscle mass and quality. Unlike other ionizing imaging techniques, ultrasound can be used repeatedly at the bedside and may compliment nutritional risk assessment. This review aims to describe the current use of skeletal muscle ultrasound (SMUS) to measure muscle mass and quality in patients with acute and chronic clinical conditions and its ability to predict functional capacity, severity of malnutrition, hospital admission, and survival. Databases were searched from their inception to August 2021 for full-text articles in English. Relevant articles were included if SMUS was investigated in acute or chronic clinical contexts and correlated with a defined clinical outcome measure. Data were synthesized for narrative review due to heterogeneity between studies. This review analysed 37 studies (3100 patients), which met the inclusion criteria. Most studies (n = 22) were conducted in critical care. The clinical outcomes investigated included functional status at discharge (intensive care unit-acquired weakness), nutritional status, and length of stay. SMUS was also utilized in chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, and chronic renal failure to predict hospital readmission and disease severity. Only two studies investigated the use of SMUS in patients with cancer. Of the 37 studies, 28 (76%) found that SMUS (cross-sectional area, muscle thickness, and echointensity) showed significant associations with functional capacity, length of stay, readmission, and survival. There was significant heterogeneity in terms of ultrasound technique and outcome measurement across the included studies. This review highlights that SMUS continues to gain momentum as a potential tool for skeletal muscle assessment and predicting clinically important outcomes. Further work is required to standardize the technique in nutritionally vulnerable patients, such as those with cancer, before SMUS can be widely adopted as a bedside prognostic tool.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNET) can suffer from malnutrition. This is the first descriptive study of morfo-functional evaluation in GEPNET. OBJETIVES To describe a morfo-functional evaluation, and to compare with reference population available, and to correlate different nutritional parameters. Moreover, to compare nutritional evaluation in our study with another same location non-neuroendocrine tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective observational study, 50 patients with GEPNET, medium age 61 years. It was collected clinico-pathological characteristics and nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric, laboratory test, bioelectrical impedance analysis, phase angle, hand grip strength, and rectus femoris ultrasound for the assessment of muscle mass. We used SPSS statistics to describe and to analyze correlations of different variables. RESULTS Most frequent location of tumor was pancreas and small bowel, tumor grade 1 and advance stage. In morfo-functional evaluation highlighted: a low fat mass percentage (23,5 vs 34,4%), low muscle mass percentage (36,5 vs 41,2%) and low body mass cell percentage (40,4 vs 48,8%) compared with reference population available by sex and age. Standarized phase angle by sex and age result as positive (+0,851). There was no difference in hand grip strength compared with reference population. After a review of differents studies available, phase angle and hand grip strength of non neuroendocrine tumors in same location, could suggest a minor affection of nutritional state in our GEPNET sample. A positive correlation was observed between non classic methods of nutritional evaluation such as bioelectrical impedance analysis, hand grip strength and rectus femoris ultrasound. CONCLUSION Patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNET) show a moderate affection of nutritional status in comparison to general population. Morphofunctional assessment provide us a precise knowledge about nutritional status.

Abstract
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) tend to have abnormally low levels of fat-free mass (FFM), which includes skeletal muscle mass as a central component. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesise available evidence on the association between FFM and exercise test outcomes in COPD. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched. Studies that evaluated exercise-related outcomes in relation to measures of FFM in COPD were included. Eighty-three studies, containing 18,770 (39% female) COPD participants, were included. Considerable heterogeneity was identified in the ways that FFM and exercise test outcomes were assessed; however, higher levels of FFM were generally associated with greater peak exercise capacity. This association was stronger for some exercise test outcomes (e.g. peak rate of oxygen consumption during incremental cycle exercise testing) than others (e.g. six-minute walking distance). This review identified heterogeneity in the methods used for measuring FFM and exercise capacity. There was, in general, a positive association between FFM and exercise capacity in COPD. There was also an identified lack of studies investigating associations between FFM and temporal physiological and perceptual responses to exercise. This review highlights the significance of FFM as a determinant of exercise capacity in COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In order to detect the changes in muscle texture of sarcopenia and to explore a new method of ultrasound assessment of muscle changes in sarcopenia. METHODS we used the local binary pattern (LBP) combined with gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method to extract and quantitatively analyze the texture information of the rectus femoris of different people, and initially verified the robustness of this method to image gain changes. We recruited young volunteers, elderly volunteers without sarcopenia, and elderly volunteers with sarcopenia in this cross-sectional study. We scanned the rectus femoris and extracted their muscle texture features. RESULTS We found that when ultrasonographic gain varied from 40% to 70%, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of contrast, entropy, and homogeneity were 0.989, 0.973, and 0.989, respectively. Body mass index was significantly related to contrast (r = 0.285, P < .05), and age had a significant correlation with contrast and homogeneity (r = -0.259 and r = 0.269, P < .05). The elderly volunteers with sarcopenia had the highest entropy (0.363 [0.342-0.403]) and homogeneity (2.203 [2.162-2.277]) in the texture of the rectus femoris among the three groups, and at the same time had the lowest contrast (44.583 [43.492-47.399]), and all P < .05. CONCLUSION LBP combined with GLCM can be a stable method for extracting muscle texture features. At the same time, the contrast, entropy, and homogeneity of the rectus femoris of the elderly with sarcopenia were significantly different from those of the young volunteers and the elderly without sarcopenia, suggesting the texture features of rectus femoris are potential parameters for evaluating muscle function and pathological changes.

Abstract
Objective: To study the correlation between diaphragm excursion and both the quality of life and exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by ultrasound and to reveal the factors affecting diaphragm excursion. Methods: A total of 42 COPD patients who were treated in our hospital from October 2015 to March 2020 and 42 healthy volunteers (control group) were included in the present study. The participants’ height, weight, and diaphragm excursion (the amplitude of diaphragm movement during deep breathing measured by M-mode ultrasound ([Formula: see text])), diaphragm movement time, degree of airflow obstruction (the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) as a percentage of its predicted level, FEV1%pred), and exercise capacity (six-minute walk distance, 6MWD) were measured. The St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to evaluate the patients’ quality of life. The correlation between the amplitude of diaphragm movement and lung function was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine the COPD diagnosis efficacy of M-mode ultrasound, and its influencing factors were further analyzed. Results: During tidal breathing, the movement amplitudes of both hemidiaphragms in the COPD group were greater than those in the control group. During deep breathing, the movement amplitudes of both hemidiaphragms in the control group were greater than those in the COPD group. Moreover, during both tidal and deep breathing, the movement time of the right hemidiaphragm in the control group was longer than that in the COPD group (all P < 0.001). During deep breathing, the amplitude of diaphragm movement was positively correlated with FEV1 and FEV1%pred (both P < 0.001). During both tidal and deep breathing, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of COPD according to the diaphragm movement amplitude was 0.833 and 0.887, respectively, and the AUC for the diagnosis of COPD according to the diaphragm movement time was 0.625 and 0.732, respectively. The [Formula: see text] was correlated with the SGRQ score, symptom score, impact score, activity score, and 6MWD, with correlation coefficients of −0.474, −0.416, −0.432, −0.502, and 0.536, respectively. The factors affecting the [Formula: see text] were height ([Formula: see text], P < 0.001) and FEV1%pred ([Formula: see text], P < 0.001). Conclusion: The diaphragm excursion in COPD was closely related to patients’ quality of life. Height and FEV1%pred had the greatest impact on diaphragm excursion. The lower the diaphragm excursion of the patient, the worse their quality of life and the lower their exercise capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to identify cutoff values for muscle ultrasound (US) to be used in Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and to define the effect of reduced muscle mass assessment on malnutrition prevalence at hospital admission. METHODS A total of 118 inpatients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Six different muscles were evaluated by US. Following defining thresholds for muscle US to predict low muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, malnutrition was diagnosed by GLIM criteria with seven approaches, including calf circumference, mid-upper arm circumference (MAC), handgrip strength (HGS), skeletal muscle index (SMI), rectus femoris (RF) muscle thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) in addition to without using the reduced muscle mass criterion. RESULTS The median age of patients was 64 (18-93) years, 55.9% were female. RF muscle thickness had moderate positive correlations with both HGS (r = 0.572) and SMI (r = 0.405). RF CSA had moderate correlation with HGS (r = 0.567) and low correlation with SMI (r = 0.389). The cutoff thresholds were 11.3 mm (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.835) and 17 mm (AUC = 0.737) for RF muscle thickness and 4 cm² (AUC = 0.937) and 7.2 cm² (AUC = 0.755) for RF CSA in females and males, respectively. Without using the reduced muscle mass criterion, malnutrition prevalence was 46.6%; otherwise, it ranged from 47.5% (using MAC) to 65.2% (using HGS). CONCLUSIONS Muscle US may be used in GLIM criteria. However, muscle US needs a standard measurement technique and specific cutoff values in future studies.

Diagnostic and clinical values of non-cardiac ultrasound in COPD: A systematic review. BMJ Open Respir Res 2020; 7:e000717. [PMID: 32978244 PMCID: PMC7520906 DOI: 10.1136/bmjresp-2020-000717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical and research utility of non-cardiac ultrasound (US) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been widely investigated. However, there is no systematic review assessing the clinical values of non-cardiac US techniques in COPD. METHODS We systematically searched electronic databases from inception to 24 June 2020. Two independent reviewers in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines extracted data. A narrative synthesis of the results was conducted considering non-cardiac US techniques that looked for diaphragm, muscles and bones in patients with COPD. RESULTS In total, 2573 abstracts were screened, and 94 full-text papers were reviewed. A total of 54 studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-five studies assessed the diaphragm, while 19 studies evaluated different muscles, including limb muscles and pulmonary lesions in COPD using US. Of the 54 included studies, 30% (16/54) evaluated the changes in either limb muscles or diaphragmatic features before and after physical interventions; 67% (36/54) assessed the correlations between sonographic features and COPD severity. Indeed, 14/15 and 9/13 studies reported a significant reduction in diaphragm excursion and thickness in COPD compared with healthy subjects, respectively; this was correlated significantly with the severity and prognosis of COPD. Three studies reported links between diaphragm length and COPD, where lower diaphragm length correlated with poorer prognosis and outcomes. Quadriceps (rectus femoris), ankle dorsiflexor (tibialis anterior) and vastus lateralis were the most common muscles in COPD assessed by US. More than 70% (12/17) of the studies reported a significant reduction in the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the rectus femoris, rectus femoris and vastus lateralis thickness in COPD compared with healthy subjects. Quadriceps CSA and thickness correlated positively with COPD prognosis, in which patients with reduced quadriceps CSA and thickness have higher risk of exacerbation, readmission and death. CONCLUSION US measurements of diaphragm excursion and thickness, as well as lower limb muscles strength, size and thickness, may provide a safe, portable and effective alternative to radiation-based techniques in diagnosis and prognosis as well as tracking improvement postintervention in patients with COPD.
