  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Association between the thickness or area of the temporal muscle and skeletal muscle mass in bioimpedance analysis. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    High HDL-C levels were associated with higher risk of sarcopenia among middle-aged and older Chinese adults, and appropriate control of its high levels informs the management of sarcopenia. We observed moderate to strong positive correlations between body composition analysis measured by BIA and TMT or TMA, suggesting that TMT or TMA could serve as a reliable surrogate marker for identifying low skeletal muscle mass in cerebrovascular disease.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Bridging the critically ill acute on chronic liver failure patient through liver transplantation. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    The development of sepsis and prolonged organ support may preclude LT or diminish its chances of success. The current review describes strategies to bridge severe ACLF patients to LT, highlights the minimal evaluation required for listing and the currently suggested contraindications to proceed with LT and addresses different aspects of management during the perioperative and early post-transplant period.
  • ||||||||||  Retrospective data, Review, Journal:  The association of alcohol consumption with the risk of sarcopenia: a dose-response meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    The results of this meta-analysis indicate that alcohol consumption is not a risk factor for the development of sarcopenia. Any suggestion of a putative protective effect of alcohol should be treated with caution, particularly in light of the overall lack of relationship reported in the present comprehensive meta-analysis.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: An Overlooked but High-Risk Syndrome. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    Although current management revolves around diet for weight loss coupled with resistance training to mitigate further muscle loss, emerging pharmacologic therapies have shown promising results. As the global population ages, diagnosing and managing SO will become imperative to alleviate the cardiovascular burden.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Urogeriatric thinking using the example of antiandrogen therapy for prostate cancer (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    These considerations should be compared with the patient's individual risk profile in order to prevent side effects from negating the effect of the treatment, for example by worsening the patient's self-help status. With regard to androgen deprivation in prostate cancer-which often is used uncritically-it is important to consider possible side effects such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, anemia, and cognitive impairment in terms of a
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Detecting sarcopenia in obesity: emerging new approaches. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    Monitoring of CRP levels remains an important marker in the prediction of AL due to its negative predictive value. New consensus tools for sarcopenic obesity diagnosis are likely to improve awareness, understanding, identification and treatment of this under-recognized obesity phenotype.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Assessing cachexia in obesity: contradiction or perfectly possible? (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    Weight loss can occur in anyone with cancer, however its priority for clinical management may be lesser in obese versus low body weight individuals. Sarcopenic obesity is strongly associated with a poor clinical outcome and deserves further research, diagnosis in clinical practice, and new strategies for mitigation.
  • ||||||||||  Trial completion date, Trial primary completion date:  Treatment of Sarcopenia Improves the Muscle Mass and Muscle Strength of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis-Child C (clinicaltrials.gov) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    P3,  N=96, Active, not recruiting, 
    Sarcopenic obesity is strongly associated with a poor clinical outcome and deserves further research, diagnosis in clinical practice, and new strategies for mitigation. Trial completion date: Oct 2023 --> Oct 2024 | Trial primary completion date: Aug 2023 --> Jan 2024
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Cohort profile: the Taiwan Initiative for Geriatric Epidemiological Research - a prospective cohort study on cognition. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 6, 2024   
    TIGER has published novel and multidisciplinary research on cognitive-related outcomes in older adults, including environmental exposures (indoor and ambient air pollution), multimorbidity, sarcopenia, frailty, biomarkers (brain and retinal images, renal and inflammatory markers), and diet. TIGER's meticulous design, multidisciplinary data, and novel findings elucidate the complex etiology of cognitive impairment and frailty, offering valuable insights into factors that can be used to predict and prevent dementia in the preclinical phase.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  A sarcopenia screening test predicts mortality among hospitalized cancer patients. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 6, 2024   
    Age was a predictor of 2-year all-cause mortality among patients aged ?65?years but not among those aged <65?years (OS: 25.6% vs. 100%, p?=?0.04). To summarize, the sarcopenia screening results were found to predict OS and all-cause mortality and may be helpful for patient stratification during in-hospital care.
  • ||||||||||  Xifaxan (rifaximin) / Alfa Wassermann, Bausch Health
    Review, Journal:  Advances in the management of complications from cirrhosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 6, 2024   
    Additionally, non-selective beta blockers, especially carvedilol, can improve portal hypertension and may even have a survival benefit...While lactulose and rifaximin are the preferred treatments for hepatic encephalopathy, many alternative treatment options may be used in refractory cases and even procedural interventions such as shunt embolization may be of benefit...Lastly, the investigation of systemic therapies, in particular immunotherapy, has revolutionized the management of HCC. These topics will be discussed in detail in this review.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Skeletal muscle architecture and aging: A comparison of ultrasound techniques and an assessment of intrarater reliability. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 6, 2024   
    The risk of sarcopenia was higher among MHD patients who were older, male, single, with a longer MHD duration, lower economic status, lower BMI, comorbid diabetes and lower levels of creatinine. Our findings suggest that participant posture during imaging impacts the absolute values and intrarater reliability of ultrasound-determined muscle characteristics in a muscle-specific fashion, and this effect is greater in older compared to younger individuals.
  • ||||||||||  metformin / Generic mfg.
    Journal:  Diabetes Pharmacotherapy and its effects on the Skeletal Muscle Energy Metabolism. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 6, 2024   
    In this review, we summarize the upto- date studies on the effects of anti-diabetic drugs and some natural compounds on skeletal muscle metabolism, focusing primarily on emerging data from pre-clinical to clinical studies. Given the extensive use of anti-diabetic drugs and the common sarcopenia, a better understanding of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle deserves attention in future studies.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Role of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Periodontitis: A Bidirectional Relationship. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 5, 2024   
    Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and proper oral hygiene practices are crucial for preventing and managing these interconnected diseases. Additionally, interdisciplinary collaboration between hepatologists and periodontists is essential for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in individuals with NAFLD and periodontitis.
  • ||||||||||  Trial completion date, Trial primary completion date:  Electrical Stimulation of Human Myocytes in Microgravity (clinicaltrials.gov) -  Aug 5, 2024   
    P=N/A,  N=75, Active, not recruiting,
