Schematic representation of the design. Tryptophan metabolism is enriched in serum metabolites and gut microbiota of centenarians, potentially contributing to healthy longevity. A key tryptophan metabolite 5‐methoxyindoleacetic acid (5‐MIAA) is linked to the Christensenellaceae R‐7 group and exhibits effects of delaying cell senescence, promoting ...

Background MRI offers quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and tissue characteristics with T1 mapping. The influence of age, sex, and the potential confounding effects of fat on T1 values in skeletal muscle in healthy adults are insufficiently known.

Detecting Underdiagnosed Medical Conditions with Deep Learning-Based Opportunistic CT Imaging [PDF]
Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans are frequently performed in clinical settings. Opportunistic CT involves repurposing routine CT images to extract diagnostic information and is an emerging tool for detecting underdiagnosed conditions such as sarcopenia, hepatic steatosis, and ascites.

Development and implementation of an aspiration pneumonia cause investigation algorithm
Aspiration pneumonia remains an underdiagnosed and unestablished diagnosis. We propose the use of an algorithm (developed based on the JRS guidelines) to enable adequate management of older adults with pneumonia. When implemented in an acute setting, the algorithm enhanced the diagnosis of causative conditions, swallow screening, and preventative ...

Unsupervised Anomaly Detection on Implicit Shape representations for Sarcopenia Detection [PDF]
Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and strength that significantly impacts daily life. A commonly studied criterion for characterizing the muscle mass has been the combination of 3D imaging and manual segmentations. In this paper, we instead study the muscles' shape.
