Validity of computed tomography defined body composition as a prognostic factor for functional outcome after kidney transplantation J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Tim D. A. Swaab, Evelien E. Quint, Lisa B. Westenberg, Marcel Zorgdrager, Dorry L. Segev, Mara A. McAdams-DeMarco, Stephan J. L. Bakker, Alain R. Viddeleer, Robert A. Pol
The prevalence of sarcopenia is markedly higher in kidney transplant candidates than in the general population. It is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, which increases the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes.

Effects of correcting metabolic acidosis on muscle mass and functionality in chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Wesley J.

Metabolic acidosis unfavourably influences the nutritional status of patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) including the loss of muscle mass and functionality, but the benefits of correction are uncertain. We investigated the effects of correcting metabolic acidosis on nutritional status in patients with CKD in a systematic review and meta-analysis. A search was conducted

Effects of sarcopenia and frailty on postoperative recovery in elderly patients: A prospective cohort study J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-19 Kedi Guo, Xinghe Wang, Xian Lu, Yuping Yang, Wensi Lu, Shuting Wang, Xihui Tang, Yan Wu, Yuqing Xu, Qingsong Chen, Su Liu
Sarcopenia and frailty are both age-related declines in functional reserve that are linked to adverse health outcomes. It is critical to know about the outcomes of a combination of these conditions. The study aimed to investigate the effects of sarcopenia and frailty on postoperative recovery in elderly patients and to explore risk factors.

The prognostic significance of non-cancer-related prognostic factors, such as body composition, has gained extensive attention in oncological research. Compared with sarcopenia, the prognostic significance of adipose tissue for overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer remains unclear. We investigated the prognostic value of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in patients with non-small cell lung

Skeletal muscle mass and quality assessed by computed tomography (CT) images of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level have been established as risk factors for poor clinical outcomes in several illnesses, but the relevance for dialysis patients is unclear. A few studies have suggested a correlation between CT-determined skeletal muscle mass and quality at the first lumbar vertebra (L1) level and adverse

Bisphosphonates attenuate age-related muscle decline in Caenorhabditis elegans J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-18 Luke Slade, Shelby E. Bollen, Joseph J. Bass, Bethan E. Phillips, Kenneth Smith, Daniel J. Wilkinson, Nathaniel J. Szewczyk, Philip J. Atherton, Timothy Etheridge
Age-related muscle decline (sarcopenia) associates with numerous health risk factors and poor quality of life. Drugs that counter sarcopenia without harmful side effects are lacking, and repurposing existing pharmaceuticals could expedite realistic clinical options. Recent studies suggest bisphosphonates promote muscle health; however, the efficacy of bisphosphonates as an anti-sarcopenic therapy is

Radiation induces long-term muscle fibrosis and promotes a fibrotic phenotype in fibro-adipogenic progenitors J.

Green, Keir J. Menzies, Yan Burelle, Michael De Lisio
Radiation-induced muscle pathology, characterized by muscle atrophy and fibrotic tissue accumulation, is the most common debilitating late effect of therapeutic radiation exposure particularly in juvenile cancer survivors. In healthy muscle, fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are required for muscle maintenance and regeneration, while in muscle pathology FAPs are precursors for exacerbated extracellular

In cancer cachexia trials, measures of physical function are commonly used as endpoints. For drug trials to obtain regulatory approval, efficacy in physical function endpoints may be needed alongside other measures. However, it is not clear which physical function endpoints should be used. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the frequency and diversity of physical function endpoints in

Caveolin-3 loss linked with the P104L LGMD-1C mutation modulates skeletal muscle mTORC1 signalling and cholesterol homeostasis J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-06 Dinesh S. Shah, Raid B. Nisr, Gabriela Krasteva-Christ, Harinder S. Hundal
Caveolins are the principal structural components of plasma membrane caveolae. Dominant pathogenic mutations in the muscle-specific caveolin-3 (Cav3) gene isoform, such as the limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 1C (LGMD-1C) P104L mutation, result in dramatic loss of the Cav3 protein and pathophysiological muscle weakness/wasting. We hypothesize that such muscle degeneration may be linked to disturbances

Chronic diseases often lead to metabolic disorders, causing anabolic resistance and increased energy consumption, which result in cachexia. Cachexia, in turn, can lead to major clinical consequences such as impaired quality of life, shortened life expectancy, and increased healthcare expenditure. Existing international diagnostic criteria for cachexia employ thresholds derived from Western populations

Application of the D3-creatine muscle mass assessment tool to a geriatric weight loss trial: A pilot study J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-05 Kristen M. Beavers, Allison E. Avery, Mahalakshmi Shankaran, William J. Evans, S. Delanie Lynch, Caitlyn Dwyer, Marjorie Howard, Daniel P. Beavers, Ashley A. Weaver, Leon Lenchik, Peggy M. Cawthon
Traditionally, weight loss (WL) trials utilize dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure lean mass. This method assumes lean mass, as the sum of all non-bone and non-fat tissue, is a reasonable proxy for muscle mass. In contrast, the D3-creatine (D3Cr) dilution method directly measures whole body skeletal muscle mass, although this method has yet to be applied in the context of a geriatric

Protein intake in cancer: Does it improve nutritional status and/or modify tumour response to chemotherapy? J. Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-04 Martin Boutière, Cécile Cottet-Rousselle, Céline Coppard, Karine Couturier, Catherine Féart, Morgane Couchet, Christelle Corne, Christophe Moinard, Charlotte Breuillard
Combating malnutrition and cachexia is a core challenge in oncology. To limit muscle mass loss, the use of proteins in cancer is encouraged by experts in the field, but it is still debated due to their antagonist effects. Indeed, a high protein intake could preserve lean body mass but may promote tumour growth, whereas a low-protein diet could reduce tumour size but without addressing cachexia. Here

The warm-up is considered beneficial for increasing body temperature, stimulating the neuromuscular system and overall preparing the athletes for the demands of training sessions and competitions. Even when warm-up–derived benefits are slight and transient, they may still benefit preparedness for subsequent efforts.
