- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Physical exercise as a modulator of the purinergic system in the control of sarcopenia in individuals with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 18, 2024
Furthermore, it appears that there is a correlation between the practice of repeated physical exercise with the clinical improvement and in the quality of life of these patients, presenting a decrease in the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), NTPDase, and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6, such as increases in IL-10 resulting from modulation of the purinergic system. In this way, the present article seeks to evaluate the effect of physical exercise as a modulator of the purinergic system in the control of sarcopenia in patients with CKD on hemodialysis, in order to trace a relationship that can bring benefits both for biological markers and for quality of life of these patients.

Sarcopenia was significantly associated with OS (HR:1.62; 95% CI: 1.43-1.83; P?<?0.001, I2 Osteosarcopenia was significantly linked with an increased risk of mortality in older people, indicating the need to consider the presence of osteoporosis in patients with sarcopenia, and vice versa, since the combination of these two conditions typical of older people may lead to further complications, such as mortality.

Retrospective data, Journal: Body composition measures as a determinant of Alpelisib related toxicity. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 17, 2024 Body composition measures, specifically SMD and VAT may provide an opportunity to identify patients at higher risk for severe alpelisib related hyperglycemia, and cutaneous toxicity. These findings suggest the potential use of body composition assessment to caution toxicity risk, allowing for personalized therapeutic observation and intervention.

Journal: Efficacy of Anamorelin for the Treatment of Cancer Cachexia and Factors Associated with Weight Gain (Pubmed Central) - Jun 17, 2024 The factors that contributed to weight gain in patients before starting anamorelin were as follows: the patients' disease stage had not progressed to refractory cachexia based on the cancer cachexia classification of the European Palliative Care Research Collaborative; the patients had received fewer lines of anticancer treatment at the start of oral administration of anamorelin; and the patients had not met all the criteria for starting treatment with anamorelin, namely, C-reactive protein level >0.5 mg/dL, hemoglobin level <12 g/dL, and albumin level <3.2 g/dL. These results suggest that early administration of anamorelin hydrochloride tablets may increase the response rate when cancer cachexia is diagnosed.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Use of electrical bioimpedance in the assessment of sarcopenia in the older aldults: A scoping review. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 15, 2024
The data from this research show that ASMM and phase angle are the main variables related to sarcopenia screening in community-dwelling older adults. Whereas total extracellular water/body water is still considered a confounding variable in the screening of sarcopenia in the elderly, but it can be considered useful regarding the health conditions of the elderly in the community.

In addition, rNRG4 treatment improves age-associated hepatic steatosis and sarcopenia, accompanied with altered gene signatures. Together, these results indicate that NRG4 plays a key role in the aging process and is a therapeutic target for the treatment of age-associated metabolic dysfunction.

Routine blood factors involved in inflammation, protein metabolism, and glucose metabolism are significantly associated with sarcopenia. In clinical practice, plasma hsCRP, BUN, blood sugar levels, sex, age, marital status, height, and weight might be helpful for sarcopenia evaluation and monitoring.

In this review, we discuss how processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, neural and hormonal modifications, as well as other metabolic disturbances influence sarcopenia as well as its association with cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, this review provides an overview of both non-pharmacological and pharmacological management for patients with sarcopenia and cardiovascular diseases, with a focus on the potential role of cardiovascular drugs to mitigate sarcopenia.

This narrative review will examine the pathophysiologic overlaps that can explain the links between NAFLD and sarcopenia. Furthermore, this review will explore the emerging roles of nonpharmacologic (e.g., weight reduction, diet, alcohol, and smoking cessation, and physical activity) and pharmacologic management (e.g., roles of ?-hydroxy-?-methylbutyrate, branched-chain amino acid supplements, and testosterone therapy) to improve care, intervention sustainability, and acceptability for patients with sarcopenia-associated NAFLD.
