In Vivo Measurements Reveal Increased Nucleus Pulposus Lactate and Oxygen Concentrations in a Goat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR Spine
Introduction Intervertebral disc degeneration is strongly implicated as a cause of low back pain. Although the precise pathophysiological mechanisms remain elusive, perturbations in nutrition that adversely impact the cellular microenvironment of the ...

Antioxidant Carbon Dot of Selenomethionine Alleviates Oxidative Stress in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A selenomethionine‐derived carbon dot (Se‐Met‐CD) serves as a potent nano‐antioxidant, efficiently scavenging reactive oxygen species, protecting nucleus pulposus cells from oxidative damage, restoring extracellular matrix homeostasis, and significantly mitigating intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo, which demonstrates great promise as a nanozyme ...

Risk Evaluation of the NCD Risk Calculator for Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Elderly Patients: A Validation Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications

Prognostic Significance of GLIM‐Defined Malnutrition in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Following Upfront Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The GLIM criteria are effective prognostic predictors in patients with resectable PDAC undergoing upfront surgery. Preoperative nutritional assessment using these criteria may contribute to determining treatment plans for resectable PDAC. ABSTRACT Aim Regarding the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), not only anatomical factors but also ...

Impact of Sarcopenia During Induction Treatment in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chemotherapeutic advances have increased opportunities for conversion surgery (CS) in unresectable locally advanced (UR‐LA) pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the optimal indications for CS remain unclear. Sarcopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in PC, except UR‐LA PC. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the impact of sarcopenia on

Manually defining regions of interest when quantifying paravertebral muscles fatty infiltration from axial magnetic resonance imaging: a proposed method for the lumbar spine with anatomical cross-reference

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
BackgroundThere is increasing interest in paravertebral muscle composition as a potential prognostic and diagnostic element in lumbar spine health. As a consequence, it is becoming popular to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine muscle volume ...

Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with
