Therefore, due attention must be paid to neurosurgical frailty and muscle assessment in elderly patients. Specialized interventions in the perioperative period of neurosurgery in frail elderly patients may improve their postoperative prognosis.

Compared with those undergoing lumpectomy or mastectomy without reconstruction, patients undergoing mastectomy with reconstruction were more likely to experience postoperative complications and obesity was associated with higher risk of complication in the latter group. We did not identify a correlation between sarcopenia and rate of adverse surgical outcomes.

This study contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (good health and well-being) and 10 (reduced Inequalities) for all. Vulnerability is common among rural community-dwelling older adults and is associated with sociodemographic and health characteristics.

The MAFLD criteria might be better for identifying high-risk fatty liver disease than the NAFLD criteria. Sarcopenia was found to be an independent risk factor for worse overall survival, but not recurrence free survival, in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy and surgery with curative intent.

The generation of a virtual population is a feasible approach to augment anatomical variations based on a small population that could mimic variations seen in a larger cohort. This is a valuable alternative to overcome the limitation or the need to collect dataset from a large population, which is both time and resource consuming.

The perioperative airway management program implemented at our center was easy to perform and can effectively improve short-term postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia. No abstract available

Lifestyle modifications, including weight management and physical activity, remain central to the treatment of sarcopenic obesity, while additional research is needed to explore potential pharmacological options. No abstract available
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Frailty after COVID-19: The wave after? (Pubmed Central) - Sep 15, 2023
Regarding the underlying mechanisms, a multicausal genesis can be assumed, involving both direct viral effects and indirect effects, particularly from the imposed lockdowns with devastating consequences for the elderly: decreased physical activity, altered diet, sarcopenia, fatigue, social isolation, neurological problems, inflammation, and cardiovascular morbidity are among the possible mediators. Since the COVID-19 pandemic is leading to an increase in frailty in the elderly, there is an urgent need to raise awareness of this still little-known problem of potentially great public health importance and to find appropriate prevention and treatment measures.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Evaluation and management of body composition changes in cancer patients. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 15, 2023
As more evidence highlighting the importance of body composition has emerged, it is imperative to apply a more precise evaluation of nutritional status and a more targeted approach to provide nutritional support for cancer patients. In this review, we will discuss the modalities for evaluating body composition and how to manage body composition changes in cancer patients.
