Sarcopenia in juvenile localized scleroderma: new insights on deep involvement.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease which can also affect bones and muscles. Nevertheless, muscle loss was not previously investigated in patients with JLS. Thus, the aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate deep involvement and assess and

Sarcopenia in adults with congenital heart disease: Nutritional status, dietary intake, and resistance training.

This study aimed (1) to assess the nutritional status and dietary intake, (2) compare the body composition and nutritional intake between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia, and (3) evaluate the effects of resistance training and amino acid intake in adults with congenital heart disease

SARC-CalF-assessed risk of sarcopenia and associated factors in cancer patients

Introduction: sarcopenia is considered a risk factor, especially for cancer patients, as it increases mortality and post-surgical complications, and reduces response to treatment and quality of life.

Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in comparison: prevalence, metabolic profile, and key differences. A cross-sectional study in Italian hospitalized elderly.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence, assess the metabolic profile, and key differences (versus healthy) in a cohort of subjects with sarcopenia (S) and in sarcopenic obesity (SO) hospitalized elderly. METHODS A standardized comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed.

Impact of edema on length of calf circumference in older adults.

Calf circumference, which is a known simple indicator of muscle mass, increases during edema. However, the extent to which edema increases calf circumference in older adults is unclear.This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients aged ≥65

Diagnosing Sarcopenia in Male Patients With Cirrhosis by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Estimates of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
BACKGROUND Ascites in cirrhotic patients interfere with accurate assessment of skeletal muscle when diagnosing sarcopenia. We hypothesized measurement of appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) improves the diagnosis of sarcopenia in cirrhotic patients

Normalizing Plasma Renin Activity in Experimental Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Effects on Edema, Cachexia, and Survival.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
Heart failure (HF) patients frequently have elevated plasma renin activity. We examined the significance of elevated plasma renin activity in a translationally-relevant model of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which replicates the progressive stages (A-D) of human HF. Female mice with DCM and elevated

Assessment of Muscle Wasting in Long-Stay ICU Patients Using a New Ultrasound Protocol.

Log In/Sign up
There is currently no standardized procedure to assess sarcopenia in long-stay catabolic patients. Our aim is to analyze a novel ultrasound muscle assessment protocol in these patients versus healthy controls, by carrying out a prospective observational study. We designed a new ultrasound protocol

Effects of an oral ghrelin mimetic on body composition and clinical outcomes in healthy older adults: a randomized trial.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
BACKGROUND Growth hormone secretion and muscle mass decline from midpuberty throughout life, culminating in sarcopenia, frailty, decreased function, and loss of independence. The decline of growth hormone in the development of sarcopenia is one of many factors, and its etiologic role needs to be

Just the tip of the iceberg: difficulties in assessing and managing extreme obesity in routine clinical care.

As obesity prevalence increases worldwide, healthcare professionals are often faced with challenging cases associated with massive obesity. A 33-year-old woman (weight 342 kg, body mass index = 100 kg/m²) presented with respiratory failure, limb edema and ascites. Abdominal CT scan became feasible

Nutritional management of celiac crisis in an elderly adult: A case report of the rare presentation of celiac disease in a 75-y-old woman

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
In adults, a very uncommon presentation of celiac disease (CD) is a celiac crisis, a life-threatening and severe form of the disease having a dramatic onset with diarrhea and metabolic acidosis with electrolyte and fluid imbalance. Treatment of celiac crisis requires a gluten-free diet; however, the

Effect of loop diuretics on skeletal muscle depletion in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
OBJECTIVE Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass, impairs prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of loop diuretics, which are frequently used to treat hepatic edema/ascites, on skeletal muscle depletion and the prognosis in patients with

Chronic kidney disease: A likely underestimated component of multimorbidity in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
The coexistence of chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, two age-related conditions, has important clinical and prognostic implications. Respiratory failure is associated with important changes in glomerular and tubulointerstitial function. In contrast, renal failure can

Current technologies in body composition assessment: advantages and disadvantages.

Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
The interest in non-invasive methods of body composition assessment is on the rise in health care, especially because of its association with clinical outcomes. Technology has revolutionized our understanding of body composition abnormalities, clinical prognostication, and disease follow-up, but
