Mapping peripheral and abdominal sarcopenia acquired in the acute phase of COVID-19 during 7 days of mechanical ventilation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Our aim was to map acquired peripheral and abdominal sarcopenia in mechanically ventilated adults with COVID-19 through ultrasound measurements. On Days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after admission to critical care, the muscle thickness and cross-sectional area of the ...

NEX4EX – A novel exercise device enabling resistive, plyometric and sensorimotor training during deep‐space missions: A case report

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.

Jinkyo, a Japanese Traditional (Kampo) Medicine Concept That Is Analogous to Sarcopenia: Its Utility in Daily Practice and Its Physical Background

Traditional &Kampo Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Early detection of sarcopenia is important to prevent frailty. In Japanese Traditional (Kampo) medicine (JTM), weakness of the lower abdominal region (WLAR) is considered a sign of the JTM concept jinkyo, which is similar to sarcopenia.

Enhanced Expression of IL32 mRNA in Skeletal Muscles in the Context of Head and Neck Carcinomas

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cancer‐related sarcopenia (CRS) is a significant complication of head and neck carcinoma (HNC), characterised by muscle degeneration and poor clinical outcomes. Although various dietary and therapeutic interventions have been explored, most of them remain empirical, and the molecular mechanisms underlying CRS are not yet fully ...

Distinct Metabolomic Alterations Are Associated With Physical Function, Weight Loss, and Muscle Mass in Men With Cancer

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Treatments for cancer cachexia, defined as involuntary weight and muscle mass loss leading to significant functional impairment, remain unavailable partly due to insufficient improvement of clinically meaningful outcomes in current trials.
