- |||||||||| Journal: The Influence of Pretherapeutic and Preoperative Sarcopenia on Short-Term Outcome after Esophagectomy. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2020
Our findings suggest that a low preoperative SMI does not necessarily predict a poor postoperative outcome in esophageal cancer patients after esophagectomy but that there are many factors that influence the nutritional status of cancer patients. To improve nutritional status, cancer patients at our clinic receive specialized nutritional counselling during neoadjuvant treatment as well as after surgery.

Indeed, the features of this bone-related hormone were used to test a new therapeutic approach for sarcopenia, since injection of osteocalcin in older mice induces the acquirement of physical abilities of younger animals. Even if this approach should be tested in humans, osteocalcin represents the most surprising molecule in endocrine regulation by the skeleton.

We succeeded in clinical translation and large animal model experiments of cell sheet-based regenerative medicine to treat various complications of cancer therapy including esophageal stricture after esophageal early cancer endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)and lung air leaks. We would like to continue development of cell sheet-based regenerative medicine to treat frail, sarcopenia, and cancer cachexia after surgery, chemotherapy, and radio therapy by supplying stem cells and paracrine effects.

In patients with spine metastases, psoas muscle size as a hallmark of frailty/sarcopenia is an objective, simple, and effective way to identify patients who are at risk for shorter survival, regardless of tumor histology. This information can be used to help with surgical decision making in patients with advanced cancer, as patients with small psoas sizes are at higher risk of death.

As a consequence, a large percentage of people all over the world does not meet the minimum daily magnesium requirement. In this scoping review, we summarize how agronomic and environmental factors, including global warming, affect magnesium content and availability in the soil and, consequently, in the food chain, with the aim of attracting the interest of botanists, agronomists, animal and human nutritionists and physicians to work on a strategy that grants adequate magnesium intake for everybody.

Poor nutritional status, as well as selective malnutrition or sarcopenia, is associated with poor clinical outcomes, response to therapy and, therefore, quality of life. The nutritional assessment should include a dietetic evaluation with the assessment of daily caloric intake and energy expenditure, radiological assessment, and measurement of functional capacity.

Although body composition measurements are not routinely obtained using CT, quantitative assessment of bone and muscle biomarkers on CT can add value to patient care. Automated bone and muscle measurements promise to transform the everyday practice of radiology without resulting in additional cost or radiation exposure for patients.

Therefore, FABP3 drives membrane lipid composition-mediated ER stress to regulate muscle homeostasis during aging and is a valuable target for sarcopenia. Preoperative osteopenia was independently associated with post-LDLT mortality among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Improving osteopenia with preoperative rehabilitation or medical therapy may improve post-LDLT survival.

For patients with depression or cognitive disorders, we recommend screening for vitamin D deficiency, treating with oral cholecalciferol if present, and monitoring periodically to target a level of >30 ng/mL as an adjunct to usual care. The level of evidence certainly would not justify the use of vitamin D in place of more evidence-based therapies, but given the burden of these conditions in the geriatric population, we believe the potential benefit justifies the minimal risk.

Moreover, sarcopenia (OR = 1.215, 95% CI: 1.019-1.449, P = 0.030), obesity (OR = 1.343, 95% CI: 1.163-1.552, P < 0.001), and sarcopenic obesity (OR = 1.406, 95% CI: 1.195-1.654, P < 0.001) were independent predictive factors for ERD. Sarcopenia is associated with GERD, and sarcopenic obesity may be predictive factor for ERD.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Could Omega 3 Fatty Acids Preserve Muscle Health in Rheumatoid Arthritis? (Pubmed Central) - Nov 19, 2020
Yet, several studies have shown that omega 3 fatty acids (FA) could prevent the development of RA, improve muscle metabolism and limit muscle atrophy in obese and insulin-resistant subjects. Thereby, dietary supplementation with omega 3 FA should be a promising strategy to counteract muscle lipotoxicity and for the prevention of comorbidities in RA patients.

This could be due to high habitual protein intakes (>1.0 g/kg BW/d) in study participants, differences in the type of milk (low-fat vs whole) and timing of milk consumption, length of interventions, as well as differences in the sarcopenia status of participants in trials. Adequately powered intervention studies of individuals likely to benefit are needed to test the effectiveness of a whole food approach, including milk, for healthy muscle aging.
