| Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: Extensive loss of adipose tissue is a key feature of cancer cachexia. Advanced cancer patients also exhibit low plasma phospholipids. It is not known whether these processes coincide across the cancer trajectory nor has their relationship with survival been defined. Changes in adipose tissue mass and plasma phospholipids were characterized within 500days prior to death and prognostic significance assessed. METHODS: Adipose tissue rate of change was determined in a retrospective cohort of patients who died of colorectal and lung cancers (n=108) and who underwent >2 computed tomography scans in the last 500days of life. Plasma phospholipid fatty acids were measured prospectively in a similar cohort of patients with metastatic cancer (n=72). RESULTS: Accelerated loss of adipose tissue begins at 7months from death reaching an average loss of 29% of total AT 2months from death. Plasma phospholipid fatty acids were 35% lower in patients closest to death versus those surviving >8months. Losses of phospholipid fatty acids and adipose tissue occur in tandem and are predictive of survival. CONCLUSIONS: Depletion of plasma phospholipids likely indicates a deficit of essential fatty acids in the periphery which may contribute to loss of adipose tissue. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
