- |||||||||| Journal: Investigating the Causal Effects of Exercise-Induced Genes on Sarcopenia. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2024
Based on available drug-gene interaction data, 21 of the causal genes are druggable, offering potential therapeutic targets. Our findings highlight key genes and molecular pathways potentially responsible for the anti-sarcopenia benefits of exercise, offering insights into future therapeutic strategies that could mimic the safe and mild protective effects of exercise on age-related skeletal muscle degeneration.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Advancements in Drug Delivery Systems for the Treatment of Sarcopenia: An Updated Overview. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2024
Current as well as future research needs to consider the barriers encountered in the realization of delivery systems, such as the route of administration, the interaction of the systems with the aggressive environment of the human body, the efficient delivery and loading of the systems with therapeutic agents, and the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents into the muscle tissue without creating undesirable adverse effects. Thus, this paper sets the framework of existing drug delivery possibilities for the treatment of sarcopenia, serving as an inception point for future interdisciplinary studies.

Therefore, the performance of the EASO's criteria in older people raises the need for refinement before recommending it for generalized use in this population. Isoflavone intake alters gut microbiota and increases muscle strength, suggesting a potential role in improving sarcopenia in menopausal women.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Emerging Targets and Treatments for Sarcopenia: A Narrative Review. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2024
A combination of resistance training, nutrition, and emerging therapeutic interventions holds potential to significantly improve muscle function and overall health in the aging population. This review provides a detailed exploration of both established and novel approaches for the prevention and management of sarcopenia, highlighting the need for further research to optimize these strategies.

For this reason, the occurrence of ACS in the elderly continues to be a particularly complex issue in clinical practice, and one that clinicians increasingly have to address, given the general ageing of populations. This review aims to address the complex aspects of elderly patients with ACS to help clinicians make therapeutic decisions when faced with such situations.
- |||||||||| Journal: Sex Differences in Skeletal Muscle Pathology in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 15, 2024
Sex differences in muscle pathology in HFrEF exist, with men showing greater abnormalities compared with women related to the transcriptome, fiber phenotype, capillarity, and circulating factors. These preliminary data question whether muscle pathology is a primary mechanism contributing to greater symptoms in women with HFrEF and highlight the need for further investigation.

- |||||||||| ASSESSMENT OF SARCOPENIA WITH ULTRASOUND-BASED MEASUREMENTS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE () - Oct 15, 2024 - Abstract #AASLD2024AASLD_2954;
Ultrasound quadriceps measurements and psoas diameter assessment showed good correlation and agreement with muscle mass defined by BIA in cirrhotic patients. If these results are confirmed in larger external series, ultrasound can be proposed as a feasible and cost-effective tool for the assessment of sarcopenia in patients with CLD.
- |||||||||| POSTOPERATIVE SURVIVAL IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS: THE ROLE OF SARCOPENIA () - Oct 15, 2024 - Abstract #AASLD2024AASLD_2925;
In patients with cirrhosis, intramuscular fat contents in the paravertebral and VL muscles exhibit the strongest positive correlation with the LFI and an inverse correlation with muscle strength. Sarcopenia, a common complication of cirrhosis, is notably linked with heightened mortality rates following major surgery among patients classified as Child-Pugh grade C. Therefore, healthcare providers should prioritize the early identification and management of sarcopenia in this high-risk group to potentially enhance postoperative outcomes.

Even though they have limited effectiveness in other parameters, the combined intervention seems to be a useful treatment option that can be implemented to complement conventional treatment in managing sarcopenia associated with cirrhosis. Sarcopenia can be a useful predictor of the recurrence of HEP.

However, it was confirmed as an independent risk factor for prognosis after SBP treatment, along with other established factors such as nosocomial infection, CTP grade C, and treatment failure. In patients with CLD, the elevation of conjugated BAs and serum IL-6 levels affects muscle volume, type, and inflammation, suggesting their association with the fast-to-slow shift in muscle fiber type composition and decline in muscle volume.
