Background: Dysphagia occurs often after oral cancer surgery. However, no case of dysphagia in combination with cerebral hemorrhage, tongue defect, and sarcopenia has been reported. We describe the case of a 70-year-old man with dysphagia
BACKGROUND
Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle and has frequently been associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). The urinary creatinine excretion rate (CER) index is an easily measured marker of muscle
Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and is considered an important factor for clinical outcomes in various diseases. Recent studies showed temporal muscle thickness (TMT) and area (TMA) can be novel indicators of sarcopenia. We examined clinical characteristics, Age of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is increasing. It is challenging to decide whether to perform aneurysm treatment and to predict their prognosis. We assumed that elderly patients with SAH who do not suffer from sarcopenia tend to have good outcomes. Temporal muscle Although a decreased areal bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in patients with haemophilia, data are lacking that would reflect the three-dimensional structure of the bone and the muscle-bone relationship. We aimed to assess volumetric BMD, bone geometry and muscle-bone phenotype in boys
Sarcopenia is known to have an important influence on postoperative complications in several diseases, and on the prognosis of patients with cancer. However, whether sarcopenia is associated with complications and prognosis after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer remains This data informs about the characteristics of elderly patients over 75 with subarachnoid hemorrhage whose World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade were I to III. We retrospectively collected data from medical records in our hospital regarding physiological symptoms, laboratory data,
BACKGROUND
Muscle wasting and obesity may complicate the post-stroke trajectory. We investigated the relationships between nutritional status, body composition, and mobility one to 3 years after stroke.
METHODS
Among 279 eligible home-dwelling individuals who had suffered a stroke (except for
BACKGROUND
Sarcopenia is an independent predictor of death after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, the ability of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria for sarcopenia (defined as reduced skeletal muscle mass plus low muscle strength) to predict surgical outcomes in
Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a game changer in cirrhosis. Poor muscle mass defined as sarcopenia may potentially upset the LT scoreboard.
Aim: To assess the
Methods: This work is a retrospective secondary analysis of a single institution cohort used in the development of the Baltimore CT prediction model. The cohort includes 115 consecutive patients that underwent admission contrast-enhanced
The natural history of cirrhotic patients is highly variable due to several factors including hepatic synthetic function, presence and degree of portal hypertension, the cause of cirrhosis, the possibility of resolution of the underlying damaging process, and the occurrence of liver cancer.
