- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Hand Grip Force-Time Curve Indicators Evaluated by Dynamometer: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 27, 2024
Various indicators based on the force-time curve can be assessed through digital or adapted dynamometers. Future research should analyze these indicators to understand their implications for muscle function assessment, to standardize evaluation procedures, to identify clinically relevant measures, and to clarify their implications in clinical practice.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: The Impact of Metabolic Health and Obesity on Liver Transplant Candidates and Recipients. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 27, 2024
Pre-operative risk assessment as well as strict control of metabolic risk factors are essential to reduce intra-operative and post-liver transplant complications. As immunosuppressive therapy exacerbates metabolic dysfunction and risk for cancer, post-liver transplant care must focus on balancing the need to prevent rejection and the impact of progressive metabolic dysfunction in this unique, but growing, patient population.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Navigating the Intersection: Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 27, 2024
This review seeks to furnish a comprehensive overview of sarcopenia in IBDs, elucidating diagnostic methodologies, pathophysiological mechanisms, and clinical implications and management. Attention will also be paid to sarcopenic obesity, exploring the pathophysiology and possible treatment modalities of this condition.
- |||||||||| Observational data, Journal, Biopsy: Biopsychosocial Consideration of Ikigai in Older Adults in Japan through a Cross-Sectional Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2024
The adaptability of this model was good. This study indicates that depressive status has a large impact on Ikigai, along with physical, cognitive, and social conditions; thus, it is appropriate to consider that an affective psychological status, such as depressive symptoms, is a fundamental condition for having Ikigai.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Diaphragm Ultrasound in Different Clinical Scenarios: A Review with a Focus on Older Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2024
We highlight the importance of the qualitative information gathered by ultrasound to assess the integrity, excursion, thickness and thickening of the diaphragm. The implementation of bedside diaphragm ultrasound could be useful for improving the quality and appropriateness of care, especially in older subjects with sarcopenia who experience acute respiratory failure, not only in the ICU setting.
- |||||||||| Identifying Targets for Point-of-Care Ultrasound to Screen for Frailty (Exhibit Hall) - Jun 25, 2024 - Abstract #ASA2024ASA_631;
The diaphragm proved too difficult to consistently scan in this patient population that may not be able to participate with positioning or sniffing to identify changes. The rectus femoris seems to be an easier target for novice learners to consistently measure.
