The majority of the studies investigating the role of MusS with cardiometabolic risk, however, are observational studies, not allowing to ultimately determine association versus causation. Importantly, MusS is also essential for the identification of nutritional status and body composition abnormalities, such as frailty and sarcopenia, which are major risk factors for CVD.

Exercise capacity also displays a circadian rhythm. Alterations in biological rhythm, as in shift workers, alter muscle function and are associated with the development of sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Review, Journal: Does sarcopenia affect outcomes in pediatric surgical patients? A scoping review. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 31, 2021
Despite studies showing an association between sarcopenia and negative outcomes in the adult surgical population, there remains a paucity of evidence regarding the impact of sarcopenia on the pediatric population. Future studies are needed to ascertain the relationship between muscle mass and outcomes in pediatric surgical patients.

The exercise program is designed and carried out on a frequent basis within an extensive scheduled time aimed at improving functional performance, aerobic capacity, and healthy conditions. Finally, a combination of exercise training and therapeutic nutrition is powerfully recommended to control sarcopenia in cirrhosis.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 31, 2021
Therefore, although the available findings point to the role of dose intensity in cancer treatment, and support full weight-based dosing, empirical dose capping often occurs in clinical practice in order to avoid toxicity. Thus a panel of experts of the Associazione Italiana Oncologia Medica (AIOM), Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD), Società Italiana Endocrinologia (SIE), and Società Italiana Farmacologia (SIF), provides here a consensus statement for appropriate cytotoxic chemotherapy and new biological cancer drug dosing in obese patients.

In both cases, causes must be clarified and treatment should be initiated. To differentiate between acute and chronic sarcopenia it is necessary to assess disease progress after a certain period of time.

Further studies are needed to determine whether a causal association exists between anorexia and sarcopenia. In adults, the muscle mass assessed from the skeletal mass index adjusted for body weight and body mass index is inversely associated with metabolic syndrome in both sexes.

Our data provide a global view of age-associated neuromuscular changes in a mouse model of ageing and help to advance understanding of contributing pathways leading to development of sarcopenia. Our study indicates that decline in IFN-γ response in a novel subset of macrophage contributes to satellite cells dysfunctions in aged skeletal muscles and demonstrates that this mechanism can be targeted to restore age-associated myogenesis.

Lumbar or thoracic CT images are useful for body composition assessment in this population and reveal high rates of sarcopenia, similar to those reported in very elderly patients. Reduced muscle mass and radiodensity associate with impaired FEV even after adjustment for clinical covariables including co-morbidities, performance status, disease risk, and mild intrinsic pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) defined by spirometry.

A close association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia was documented for the first time in PD, which has important implications for clinical management and future research. Oxidative stress does not exacerbate cancer-induced muscle loss; however, cancer cachexia may accelerate NMJ disruption.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Associations of combined genetic and epigenetic scores with muscle size and muscle strength: a pilot study in older women. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 30, 2021
Mitochondrial dysfunction and up-regulation of myostatin were identified as the earliest signs of skeletal muscle impairment. Our results improve the understanding of inter-individual variance in muscular characteristics of older women and suggest a possible application of a sarcopenia-driven methylation score to muscle strength estimation in older women while the combination with a genetic score still needs to be further studied.

These associations require further examination to understand causality and mechanisms of interaction, to inform potential strategies targeting the gut microbiota as a novel intervention for anorexia of ageing and sarcopenia. The SarQoL questionnaire has adequate clinimetric properties for use with frail patients in clinical practice and trials and could provide data that are more appropriate and detailed than the generic questionnaires currently used.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 30, 2021 Overall, these results suggest that niclosamide may not be a suitable repurposing drug for glucocorticoid-induced skeletal muscle atrophy or cancer cachexia. Nevertheless, niclosamide may be employed as a compound to study mechanisms regulating myogenesis and catabolic pathways in skeletal muscle.
