Nutrition & Exercise during Dialysis/Muscle Metabolism

[Floris Hendriks @Hendriks_FK]

A week ago our recent study 'Amino acid removal during hemodialysis can be compensated for by protein ingestion and is not compromised by intradialytic exercise' was published Open-acces:

(1/2) Een onbegrijpelijke keuze: dit kabinet wil een einde maken aan goedkoop sporten op de campus.

We weten hoe belangrijk deze studentenvoorzieningen zijn voor de gezondheid, mentaal welzijn en sociale cohesie onder jongeren.

Our latest work is now online!

As part of my PhD work, we investigated whether post-exercise cooling affects muscle microvascular perfusion and amino acid incorporation into muscle tissue.

📢New publication by our team on the resting metabolic rate of Paralympic athletes! 🥇

Study led by @VeraWeijer of @HAN_SenB

Curious why we conducted this study and what our findings were? 🧵

The before (73% for restricted protein)
The after (57% against protein restriction)

Changed some minds we hope!

@ConnieMRhee is now a #Flozinator too 😎

Our new work:
No upper limit to the anabolic response to protein ingestion?

Challenges current views on:
1⃣Dose-response relationship
2⃣"Excessive" protein getting oxidized
3⃣Protein distribution
4⃣MUCH more!

Plant-based nutrition beneficial for patients with CKD?

We are excited to share this research Evaluating the effect of a digital health intervention to enhance physical activity in people with chronic kidney disease (Kidney BEAM): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial in the UK - The Lancet Digital Health https://t.co/QoFXnG764U

@sharleneuk Great work!

[Global Renal Exercise Network @GREXercise]

📢NEW: A systematic review found that during dialysis aerobic exercise was ranked as most effective compared to usual care in improving fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Affirming the benefits of exercise during dialysis 👟👏

Happy to have this one published with @michelleweijzen!
Together we managed to start tracer infusion in the short period between admission and surgery of patients with a hip fracture and assess bone protein synthesis proximal and distal of the fracture🦴

@DLKirkman @vcukhs @UDCHS @VCU_Nephrology @AJPRenal Really nice study, congrats on getting it out!
If only we could catch all the benefits of exercise in a pill ;)

[Dr. Myohead @DrMyohead]

Trabecular, but not cortical, bone tissue protein synthesis rates are lower in the femoral head when compared to the proximal femur following an intracapsular hip fracture

@ikouw @WUR @GelderseVallei @voedingindezorg @ArthurvanZanten @rengerwitkamp Awesome, good times ahead :)

[Zuyderland @Zuyderland]

In deze periode van de #TourdeFrance 🚴, organiseerde onze #Dialyse-afdeling weer de zogenaamde ‘Tour de Dialyse’. Een superleuke actie 😃, maar het heeft ook een duidelijk doel: de dialysepatiënten van #Zuyderland extra motiveren om te bewegen. Lees meer: https://t.co/qmeJW83JzY

@247muscle @E_C_S_S Haha the ancient ones ;)

[Floris Hendriks @Hendriks_FK]

No presentations for me, but still several colleagues presented cool research @E_C_S_S (with awesome presentations) for which I took muscle biopsies #ECSS2023

[Floris Hendriks @Hendriks_FK]

Outstanding final plenary session @E_C_S_S by @RoaldBahr and Michael Kjaer on tendinopathy!
Fantastic end to a great conference. #ECSS2023
