Intermittent fasting and resistant training

• A study  aim to analyze the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on the performance of rats subjected to resistance training ladder climbs (RTLC).

Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis

• A study investigate the potential association between specific traits of body composition of patients scheduled for abdominal surgery for gastrointestinal cancer and risk of having MDR-related infections.
• Bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) was performed the day before the operation.
• The standardized phase angle (SPA) measured at BIVA was considered. Postoperative complications were collected focusing on resistance patterns and site of infection.
• The results indicate that low preoperative value of SPA is associated with the outbreak of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
