Association of Hormonal Status With Sarcopenia, Frailty and Outcome in Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis.

<p><b>BACKGROUND AND AIMS</b></p><p>Sarcopenia and frailty have been associated with hormonal dysregulation in non-cirrhotic populations. The aim of the study was to evaluate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and gonadal (HPA-HPG) axes as well as growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1) levels in patients with cirrhosis...

Peripheral Thyroid Hormones, Inflammatory and Skeletal Muscle Indexes in Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated With Cemiplimab.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>A low fT3/fT4 ratio has been associated with poorer prognosis in several diseases. Inflammatory indexes (IIs) and the skeletal muscle index (SMI) are established prognostic factors in various cancer types. However, their interplay and individual contributions to the prognosis of...

Systemic metabolic crosstalk as driver of cancer cachexia.

Cachexia is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by negative energy balance due to increased consumption and lowered intake, leading to progressive tissue wasting and inefficient energy distribution. Once considered as passive bystander, metabolism is now acknowledged as a regulator of...
