Evidence for impairment of transsulfuration pathway in cirrhosis
Jed H. Horowitz,E B Rypins,J. Michael Henderson,Steven B. Heymsfield,Steven D. Moffitt,Raymond P. Bain,Rajender K. Chawla,Julia C. Bleier,Rudman Daniel +8 more
TL;DR: The clearance of methionine after an oral load is retarded in cirrhosis and the simultaneous delay in SO 4 2− excretion implies a block in the transsulfuration pathway, which appears to be above the level of homocystine synthesis.

Measurement of liver and spleen volume by computed tomography. Assessment of reproducibility and changes found following a selective distal splenorenal shunt.
TL;DR: In cirrhotic patients studied prior to and 7-10 days after a distal splenorenal shunt, the mean liver volume fell and the mean spleen volume fell, supporting the use of such a shunt in selective decompression of varices and maintenance of portal hypertension.

TL;DR: To prevent cardiac decompensation during the HA of undernourished subjects, the use of low salt regimens, a slower rate of HA and serial monitoring of cardiac dimensions and function by clinical examination and echo is proposed.

Tissue components of weight loss in cancer patients. A new method of study and preliminary observations.
TL;DR: This initial study suggests that the principal endogenous energy and nitrogen sources during evolution of weight loss in cancer are primarily adipose tissue triglycerides and skeletal muscle proteins.

Meal size and thermic response to food in male subjects as a function of maximum aerobic capacity
TL;DR: It is suggested that individuals with a high VO2 max (such as aerobically trained athletes) show a greater caloric expenditure after eating, particularly after a large meal, than doindividuals with a lowVO2 max.
