Anabolic resistance does not explain sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared with healthy controls, despite reduced mTOR pathway activity [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundAgeing and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are risk factors for skeletal muscle loss. We investigated whether anabolic resistance to feeding might underlie accelerated muscle loss in older people with T2DM and whether dysregulated mTOR ...

Comprehensive Evidence for Mortality and Underlying Morbidity Related to Visceral Fat Distribution

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking obesity to mortality is an intriguing and controversial topic. This study tried to comprehensively assess 8 adiposity surrogates and mortality association among middle‐to‐old‐aged adults to identify a superior one, and explore explanatory disorders. Data sources included the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK

Bicomponent Mapping of Cortical Bone Using a New Interleaved UTE Imaging Sequence

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI enables direct imaging of cortical bone and quantification of its water compartments via bicomponent T2* modeling. However, conventional approaches require multiple separate dual‐echo scans due to limitations in gradient power. This approach is prone to inter‐scan inconsistencies such as motion and signal

Correlation between Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry and Hounsfield Units Measured by Diagnostic CT in Lumbar Spine

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2013
Objective Use of quantitative computed tomography (CT) to evaluate bone mineral density was suggested in the 1970s. Despite its reliability and accuracy, technical shortcomings restricted its usage, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) became the ...

Medical nutrition therapy for ALS: Dietitians' approaches to diagnosing malnutrition, facilitating feeding tube discussions, and mitigating refeeding syndrome risk

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Persons living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) are at high risk for malnutrition because of disease‐related factors such as dysphagia, self‐feeding difficulty, and hypermetabolism. Nutrition interventions, including enteral nutrition (EN) initiation after gastrostomy tube (G‐tube) placement, are integral to care but can ...

Interrelationships among handgrip strength, body composition, physical activity, and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27
