Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic Criteria for the Classification of Cancer-Associated Weight Loss

Lisa Martin, +13 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: A robust grading system incorporating the independent prognostic significance of both BMI and %WL was developed and was observed within specific cancers, stages, ages, and performance status and in an independent validation sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized clinical trial of antibiotic therapy versus appendicectomy as primary treatment of acute appendicitis in unselected patients

Jeanette Hansson, +4 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study aimed to evaluate antibiotic therapy in unselected men and women with acute appendicitis and found that antibiotic therapy could be an alternative to appendicectomy inappendicitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of postoperative intravenous feeding (TPN) on outcome following major surgery evaluated in a randomized study.

Rolf Sandström, +6 more
- 01 Feb 1993 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that in most surgical patients, postoperative semi-starvation is not a limiting factor for outcome, and undernutrition induced a slightly different complication scenario than induced by TPN in the high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary intake and resting energy expenditure in relation to weight loss in unselected cancer patients.

Ingvar Bosaeus, +3 more
- 01 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that an expected up‐regulation of dietary intake in response to elevated energy expenditure is frequently lost in cancer patients, which may be the explanation behind cancer cachexia rather than a primary decrease in appetite.
Journal Article

Role of endogenous tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 for experimental tumor growth and the development of cancer cachexia.

Johan Gelin, +5 more
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that both TNF and IL-1 are involved in tumor growth and thus the progression of cancer cachexia and the role of TNF was to promote tumor growth rather than restrict tumor growth in the present model.
