- |||||||||| SARCOPENIA AT INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF PEDIATRIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (Bellagio Ballroom - Bellagio Las Vegas) - Dec 24, 2023 - Abstract #CCCongress2024CCCongress_339;
In a subgroup analysis, UC patients were significantly different from CD patients on all four measures, suggesting a higher rate of sarcopenia in CD patients at diagnosis. We plan to expand analysis to compare sarcopenia with disease location, medical therapy, hospitalization rate, need for surgical intervention, and anthropometrics over time.
- |||||||||| PREVALENCE OF FRAILTY IN PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE. A PILOT STUDY. (Bellagio Ballroom - Bellagio Las Vegas) - Dec 24, 2023 - Abstract #CCCongress2024CCCongress_244;
Contrary to what might be assumed, frailty turned out to be a condition independent of the type of IBD, time of evolution, activity and treatment, mostly associated with female sex and a worse quality of life. New studies are required to determine factors predisposing to frailty in IBD patients and prevent its appearance in order to improve their prognosis.

Further, the subgroup analysis revealed a notable effect in the subset of R0-resected patients (myosteatosis vs. non-myosteatosis, 18 vs. 32 months, p = 0.025) and patients with nodal metastases (myosteatosis vs. non-myosteatosis, 7 vs. 18 months, p = 0.016). While altered BC is not associated with perioperative outcomes in iCCA, myosteatosis emerges as a prognostic factor for reduced OS in the overall and sub-populations of resected patients.

High TMT was robustly associated with head trauma sequelae but was also associated with good clinical outcomes in TBI patients. These findings consolidate the significance of TMT as an objective marker of frailty in TBI patients; such measurements may ultimately be leveraged as prognostic indicators.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: The Role of Exercise in Cancer-Related Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2023
The aim of this narrative review was to describe the various pathophysiological mechanisms, such as protein synthesis, mitochondrial function, inflammatory response, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which are regulated by exercise and contribute to the management of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. Moreover, myokines, factors produced by and released from exercising muscles, are being discussed as they appear to play an important role in mediating the beneficial effects of exercise against sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Personalized Physical Activity Programs for the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis in Individuals with Obesity: A Patient-Centered Approach. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 22, 2023
Phase II adopts a patient-centered approach in implementing a PA program that combines an active lifestyle (>6000 steps/day) with land- or water-based exercise programs performed over eight to twelve weeks, with a frequency of three to five sessions per week, each lasting 60 min. In phase III, several strategies can be used to increase the patients' adherence to higher levels of PA, including the following: (i) personalizing PA goal-setting and real-time monitoring; (ii) enhancing physical fitness and the management of sarcopenic obesity; (iii) building a sustainable environment and a supportive social network for an active lifestyle; and (iv) reducing pain, which can ameliorate the clinical severity of KOA and help with weight management in this population.
- |||||||||| Journal: Association between Sarcopenia and Poor Glycemic Control in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 22, 2023
In phase III, several strategies can be used to increase the patients' adherence to higher levels of PA, including the following: (i) personalizing PA goal-setting and real-time monitoring; (ii) enhancing physical fitness and the management of sarcopenic obesity; (iii) building a sustainable environment and a supportive social network for an active lifestyle; and (iv) reducing pain, which can ameliorate the clinical severity of KOA and help with weight management in this population. Poor glycemic control is associated with the presence of sarcopenia and low muscle mass, which highlights the need to implement better treatment strategies in order to reduce the loss of muscle mass.

Associations with age and function suggest utility for distinguishing a wide range of vigor and vulnerability in relatively well-functioning older adults. Our results strongly support that coffee intake, education years, smoking, leisure screen time, and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity during leisure time played significantly causal roles in sarcopenia, which may provide new intervention strategies for preventing the development of sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Journal: lncRNA GPRC5D-AS1 as a ceRNA inhibits skeletal muscle aging by regulating miR-520d-5p. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2023
As a result, GPRC5D-AS1 functions as a ceRNA of miR-520d-5p to repress cell apoptosis and regulate the expression of muscle regulatory factors, including MyoD, MyoG, Mef2c and Myf5, thus accelerating myoblast proliferation and differentiation, facilitating development of skeletal muscle. In conclusion, lncRNA GPRC5D-AS1 could be a novel therapeutic target for treating sarcopenia.

Journal: Lipid hydroperoxides and oxylipins are mediators of denervation induced muscle atrophy. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2023 Transcriptomic analysis revealed 203 differentially expressed genes in denervated muscle from vehicle or liproxstatin-1 treated mice, including ER stress, nitric oxide signaling, G?i signaling, glucocorticoid receptor signaling, and other pathways. Overall, these data suggest lipid hydroperoxides and oxylipins are key drivers of increased protein breakdown and muscle loss associated with denervation induced atrophy and a potential target for sarcopenia intervention.

This article highlights particular mechanisms by which these tumor-derived substances affect the development of muscle loss, including inflammatory processes, metabolic disturbance, proteolysis, and autophagy. The discovery of such targets offers hope for the creation of efficient treatment strategies that can enhance the long-term outlook and quality of life of cancer sufferers who are experiencing muscle loss.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Review, Journal: Molecular Mechanisms and the Interplay of Important Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Biomarkers Reveals Novel Therapeutic Targets. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 18, 2023
Excessive ROS production can overwhelm cellular antioxidant systems and act as signaling molecules that regulate cellular processes, including antioxidant defense mechanisms involving glutathione and sirtuins which further leads to cellular apoptosis, cellular senescence, inflammation, and sarcopenia. In this review paper, we focused on COPD from different perspectives including potential markers and different cellular processes such as apoptosis, cellular senescence, inflammation, sirtuins, and sarcopenia, and tried to connect the dots between them so that novel therapeutic strategies to evaluate and target the possible underlying mechanisms in COPD could be explored.

- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Osteoporosis in Asthma and COPD. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 18, 2023
The presence of osteoporosis in patients with asthma and COPD is invariably asymptomatic unless complicated by fragility fractures, therefore, it is necessary to explore the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in asthma and COPD and special attention is to be paid for early recognition of patients at high risk for osteoporosis in these patients. This chapter is focussed on osteoporosis as an extrapulmonary manifestation of asthma and COPD with an emphasis on the pathogenesis, risk factor, potential mechanism of osteoporosis, diagnosis, and prevention with passing reference to treatment as well in asthma and COPD patients.
