Automatic L3 slice detection in 3D CT images using fully-convolutional networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The analysis of single CT slices extracted at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) has garnered significant clinical interest in the past few years, in particular in regards to quantifying sarcopenia (muscle loss). In this paper, we propose an efficient method to automatically detect the L3 slice in 3D CT images.

Skeletal Muscle Memory: An Update From the Antidoping Perspective
Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This narrative review explores the concept of muscle memory, focusing on the physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying information retention in skeletal muscle tissue as it relates to antidoping. The discussion encompasses the role of satellite cells (SCs) in myonuclei recruitment, resulting in increased myonuclear density and ...

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization (HFH). However, the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in elderly patients with poor general status, such as very low bodyweight or low nutritional status, who are not included ...

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.The prognostic impact of the muscle parameters gait speed, handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle index on cardiovascular outcomes was investigated. We prospectively analyzed a cohort of 205 heart failure patients with a median left ventricular ejection fraction of 37% and a median follow‐up of 4.7 years.

How to Diagnose Sarcopenia in Korean Older Adults?
Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research, 2018 In 2017, Korea became an aged society, with the percentage of the population aged ≥65 years accounting for 14% of the total Korean population. The increasing number of older adults and the current health status of Korean older adults had led to increased

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to compare the differences in length of stay (LoS) and prior hospitalization due to heart failure (HHF) in patients with HF and frailty versus without frailty. Methods and results From inception until August 2024, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched.

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 147, Issue 1, Page 92-104, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Gerontology and ageing research are increasingly focussing on healthy life span (healthspan), the period of life lived free of serious disease and disability. Late‐life depression (LLD) is believed to impact adversely on physical health. However, no studies have examined its effect on healthspan.
