Renal and Functional Vulnerability in Hansen Disease: A Framework for Chronic Infectious Disability in Endemic Settings

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Hansen disease is a neglected infectious disease associated with reactional inflammation, neuropathy and long‐term disability. Renal involvement and sarcopenia have been described separately, but their clinical coexistence has received limited attention. This review examines evidence for a hypothesised renal–functional vulnerability

The effect of bed rest, unilateral limb immobilization and head‐down tilt on muscle protein synthesis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse leads to muscle atrophy and a decrease in muscle function that is primarily driven by reduced muscle protein synthesis (MPS). The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to examine the effect of different models of muscle disuse on rates of MPS.

A multi‐omics investigation of sarcopenia and frailty: Integrating genomic, epigenomic and telomere length data

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this

Association between dietary fatty acids and all‐cause mortality in patients with cirrhosis: A cohort study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Liver cirrhosis imposes a substantial global burden, with complications driving high mortality. Diet is pivotal in managing liver disease progression and cirrhosis‐related death. This study investigated associations between total fat intake, specific dietary fatty acid subclasses and all‐cause mortality in cirrhotic patients.
