- |||||||||| Journal: Skeletal muscle mass and sarcopenia in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 26, 2019
A quick and easy radiological assessment of sarcopenia by measuring psoas density on preoperative CT scan using software universally available in the UK is highly predictive of postoperative morbidity in colorectal cancer patients. No abstract available

No abstract available We provided preliminary evidence that the ultrasound-derived measurements of muscle thickness and echo intensity can be useful to detect and track the changes of muscle mass and structure in patients with steroid myopathy and we suggest that the combined assessment of muscle mass, strength, and performance should be systematically applied in the routine examination of steroid myopathy patients.

Further research is needed to compare different definitions of sarcopenic/dynapenic obesity to clarify the relationship between obesity and the most important adverse outcomes in the elderly. The next step will be the definition of best possible therapeutic approaches for this condition.

CF, but not sarcopenia, is a robust predictor of severe postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer. The intestinal microbiome composition represents a possible determinant of functional performance in older people, and a promising target for antiaging therapeutic interventions.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Review, Journal: Regulatory Mechanisms and Clinical Manifestations of Musculoskeletal Aging. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019
Advancements in the understanding of regulatory mechanisms of musculoskeletal aging may promote the development of novel treatments for age-related musculoskeletal disorders. Finally, future research directions for major musculoskeletal tissues including functional interaction between the tissues and their clinical relevance to age-related musculoskeletal disorders are highlighted in the future prospects section.

On the other hand, the CG showed no significant changes. Circuit exercise training improves muscle mass and strength, body composition, balance, and pulmonary function in women with sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Journal: Effects of elevated H and P on the contractile mechanics of skeletal muscle fibres from young and old men: implications for muscle fatigue in humans. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019
We reveal that the combination of acidosis (H ) and inorganic phosphate (P ) is an important mediator of muscle fatigue in humans by inhibiting the low- to high-force state of the cross-bridge cycle and peak power, but the depressive effects of these ions on cross-bridge function were similar in fibres from young and old men. These findings suggest the age-related loss in muscle power is due primarily to the atrophy of fast fibres, but the age-related increased fatigability cannot be explained by an increased sensitivity of the cross-bridge to H and P .
