Ibuprofen, Flurbiprofen or Naproxen Sodium Minimally Influences Musculoskeletal Adaptations to Treadmill Exercise in Rats.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may influence musculoskeletal health. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three different NSAIDS: naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen or a placebo on musculoskeletal adaptations in rodents with or without 6โ€‰weeks of aerobic...

Impact of Long-Term Fasting on Skeletal Muscle: Structure, Energy Metabolism and Function Using P/H MRS and MRI.

Fasting shows promise for public health, but concerns about muscle loss hinder its acceptance, particularly among the elderly. We explored the impact of long-term fasting (12โ€‰days, 250โ€‰kcal/day) on muscle structure, metabolism and performance. We prospectively assessed muscle volume, composition, relaxometry...

Nestin Regulates Autophagy-Dependent Ferroptosis Mediated Skeletal Muscle Atrophy by Ubiquitinating MAP 1LC3B.

Programmed cell death plays a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in various diseases, but its role in skeletal muscle atrophy remains unclear. Ferroptosis in...

Prediction Models for Risk of Cardiorespiratory Morbidity/Mortality and Fracture Among Young Adults With Cerebral Palsy.

There is a dearth of screening tools for cardiorespiratory disease and fracture risk, such as risk prediction models, for adults with cerebral palsy (CP). There is heterogeneity of pathophysiology related to the severity of CP and aging, such that a...

Blood-Brain Barrier-Penetrating Nanocarriers Enable Microglial-Specific Drug Delivery in Hypothalamic Neuroinflammation.

Hypothalamic inflammation plays a pivotal role in appetite dysregulation across various pathological conditions, including cancer cachexia. However, delivering anti-inflammatory agents to microglia, key mediators of hypothalamic inflammation, remains challenging due to the unsurmountable blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome this challenge,...

Long-Term Effects of High-Intensity Aerobic Training on Metabolic Syndrome: An 8-Year Follow-Up Randomized Clinical Trial.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of five cardiometabolic risk factors that typically worsen with age. One exercise-training programme is effective at improving those factors in middle-aged individuals with MetS. To our knowledge, exercise-training efficacy as MetS individuals age has...

Nuciferine Attenuates Cancer Cachexia-Induced Muscle Wasting in Mice via HSP90AA1.

Around 80% of patients with advanced cancer have cancer cachexia (CC), a serious complication for which there are currently no FDA-approved treatments. Nuciferine (NF) is the main active ingredient of lotus leaf, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and other effects. The...

Low Visceral Adipose Tissue Predicts the Outcome of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Multicentre Real-World Study.

Visceral obesity (VO), associated with excessive visceral adipose tissue (VAT), has been extensively studied in cancer. However, whether low VAT can predict the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remains unknown. This multicentre real-world cohort study...

Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Biomarkers Linked to Lower Muscle Mass, Function and Physical Performance in Sarcopenia.

As society ages, identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia becomes essential. Several plasma biomarkers are used to assess musculoskeletal status, but their results are inconsistent. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are investigated as disease biomarkers due to their role in transporting molecules...

Longitudinal Cohort Study Investigating Fall Risk Across Diverse Muscle Health Statuses Among Older People in the Community.

Falls constitute a significant public health concern among older adults, particularly those with diminished muscle health integrity. The relative contributions of reduced muscle mass versus impaired muscle function to fall risk remain debated. Discrepant conclusions in previous studies exist due...

Body Composition Assessment Provides Prognostic Information in Patients With Cancer Affected by Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease.

Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high-risk cancer population with mortality risk explained by cGVHD severity, but also...

Metformin and physical performance in older people with probable sarcopenia and physical prefrailty or frailty in Englandย (MET-PREVENT): a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

Metformin has effects on multiple biological systems relevant to ageing and has been posited as a candidate therapy for sarcopenia and physical frailty. We aimed to test the efficacy and safety of metformin, a candidate geroprotector, to improve physical performance...

A Dynamic Time Warping Extension to Consensus Weight-Based Cachexia Criteria Improves Prediction of Cancer Patient Outcomes.

Cachexia is a complex syndrome that impacts up to half of patients with cancer. Criteria systems have been developed for the purpose of diagnosing and grading cachexia severity in clinical settings. One of the most widely known is those developed...
