Associations Between Weight Loss Prior to Knee and Hip Arthroplasty and Peri‐ and Post‐Operative Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In some of the existing literature, obesity is associated with increased complications in those who undergo lower limb arthroplasty. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess if pre‐arthroplasty weight loss mitigates increased post‐operative risks. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis was registered on

Breaking the Debilitating Cycle: Pathophysiology, Assessment, and Multimodal Intervention of Secondary Debilitation After Hip Fracture in Older Adults—A Narrative Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying “secondary debilitation after hip fracture,” discusses the clinical application of risk assessment tools, and presents a phased, stepwise intervention strategy aimed at interrupting the “vicious cycle.” ABSTRACT Hip fractures pose a serious threat to the ...

Molecular pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder: Focus on the fibroblast growth factor 23–Klotho axis and bone turnover dynamics

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

A new approach to an old disease: Ageing, arrhythmogenic substrate and the role of risk‐factor modification in atrial fibrillation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Targeting activins to counteract muscle wasting and cachexia [PDF]

, 2014
Cancer cachexia is a condition of severe frailty and fatigue, associated with the loss of skeletal muscle and fat mass. Cachexia constitutes a major unmet medical challenge, as up to 80% of patients with advanced cancers exhibit cachectic symptoms, and ...

Putting the brakes on muscle growth: Myostatin as regulator of disuse atrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that rapidly adapts to changes in mechanical loading and metabolic activity. Periods of inactivity, including bed rest, limb immobilization or microgravity, induce a pronounced loss of muscle mass and function.

Senolytics and exercise: Dual modalities for rejuvenating muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The role of senolytics on the heart and skeletal muscle. Senescent cell burden increases with ageing, disuse and disease. The senolytics dasatinib+quercetin (D+Q), navitoclax and fisetin, as well as exercise, eliminate senescent cells, reducing senescent cell burden and their senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...
