Low SMI and high IMAC were not significantly associated with disease-free survival (p = 0.329 and p = 0.3370, respectively) or poor overall survival (p = 0.921 and p = 0.988, respectively). Neither preoperative low muscle volume nor low muscle quality was a poor prognostic factor in ovarian cancer.

Highlighting that composition of EAA, in particular the presence of leucine rather than amount is most crucial for anabolism. We conclude that in the context of mixed meals, quality of protein affects NB through changes in protein breakdown and affects protein turnover following subsequent meal intake.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Citrulline in health and disease. Review on human studies. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 6, 2019
It appears that CIT is an anabolic pharmaconutrient that can be safely administered even in critically ill patients. Promising results in cardiovascular diseases and in disease-related malnutrition can now be considered sufficient to justify formal clinical exploration in these areas and in sarcopenia in general.

ESPEN and EASO therefore call for coordinated action aimed at reaching consensus on its definition, diagnostic criteria and optimal treatment with particular regard to nutritional therapy. We are convinced that achievement of these goals has strong potential to reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality in the rapidly increasing obese patient population.

If a specific cause for dizziness and imbalance can be identified, treatment is often successful even in advanced age. The common causes can be revealed by systematic clinical examination and selective laboratory testing.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Decreased Appetite is Associated with Sarcopenia-Related Outcomes in Acute Hospitalized Older Adults. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 6, 2019
In conclusion, decreased appetite was highly prevalent among acute hospitalized older adults and remained prevalent, although less, after discharge. Decreased appetite was significantly associated with negative sarcopenia-related outcomes, which underlines the need for assessment and monitoring of decreased appetite during and post hospitalization.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Mitochondrial Activity and Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance in Kidney Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 6, 2019
In this mini review, we evaluate how mitochondrial activity of different renal cell types changes during DKD progression, and discuss the controversial role of oxidative stress and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in DKD. We also compare the involvement of skeletal muscle mitochondria in uraemic and obesity-related muscle insulin resistance.

Frail patients respond well to multiprofessional interventions that focus on the patients' positive frailty criteria, while physical rehabilitation and oral supplementation may improve sarcopenia. Prospective studies are still needed to evaluate the utility of formally measuring frailty and sarcopenia in the older candidates to renal transplantation as part of the transplant evaluation process.

P=N/A • No correlation was found with the body composition markers and circulating levels of some standard pro- and anti-inflammatory markers like IL-6, pentraxin 3, IL-10, TGF-β1, TNF-α, IL-6Rα, gp130, TNF-α-R1, and TNF-α-R2. • Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) shows a good correlation with inflammatory profile in age-related sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Clinical, Journal: Maximum Occlusal Force and Incident Functional Disability in Older Adults: The Tsurugaya Project. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2019
Particularly in older adults, occlusal force is reduced by several factors other than tooth loss, such as the absence of a dental prostheses, sarcopenia in the masticatory muscle, poor periodontal condition, and orofacial pain. Our findings suggest that maximum occlusal force may be a useful biomarker associated with diverse parameters aside from the number of remaining teeth.
