Sarcopenia is Related to Increased Risk for Low Bone Mineral Density

open access: yes, 2014
Lean body mass is positively correlated with bone mineral density (BMD). The association between sarcopenia and BMD is less studied. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between sarcopenia and abnormal BMD.

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

The Influence of Resistance Training Experience on the Efficacy of Motor Imagery for Acutely Increasing Corticospinal Excitability

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Both motor imagery and resistance–training enhance motor function and corticospinal excitability. We tested the hypothesis that young participants with significant resistance–training experience would show heightened corticospinal excitability during a ...

Sarcopenia Screened With SARC-F Questionnaire Is Associated With Quality of Life and 4-Year Mortality

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: There is no gold standard in diagnosing sarcopenia. We aimed to assess the validity of screening sarcopenia using SARC-F (sluggishness, assistance in walking, rise from a chair, climb stairs, falls).

A Low Psoas Muscle Index Was Associated With a Poorer Overall Survival in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Nephrostomy

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
In patients with malignant ureteral obstruction undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy, sarcopenia defined by a low psoas muscle index was independently associated with poor overall survival on multivariate Cox regression analysis, suggesting that preoperative assessment of psoas muscle index may aid prognostic stratification in this population.

Sarcopenia and the Brain [PDF]

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2021
The term sarcopenia (“a poverty of flesh”) was first described by Irving Rosenberg in 1989. In its original format it was limited to an aging related loss of muscle that was associated with functional deterioration and earlier mortality. In 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older Persons (EWGSOP) published a consensus definition on ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists in Multiple Sclerosis: A Topical Narrative Review

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists (RAs) are a relatively new class of drugs that were initially approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and, subsequently, weight reduction in patients with obesity.

Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease exception policy and outcomes in pediatric patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome requiring liver transplantation

open access: yesLiver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is associated with increased waitlist mortality in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Children with HPS are granted Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) exception points for waitlist prioritization in the United States based on criterion developed for adults.

Mitochondrial regulation in the tumor microenvironment: targeting mitochondria for immunotherapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Mitochondrial regulation plays a crucial role in cancer immunity in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Infiltrating immune cells, including T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages, undergo mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming to survive the ...
