Erector Spinae Muscle to Epicardial Visceral Fat Ratio on Chest CT Predicts the Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Chest computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing and predicting the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and assessing extrapulmonary organs. Reduced muscle mass and visceral fat accumulation are important features of a body composition phenotype in which...

Sheer drop ahead: reviewing sarcopenia outcomes in elderly patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

The global prevalence of obesity among elderly patients continues to rise. Despite the availability of new antiobesity medications, bariatric surgery remains an effective treatment option for carefully selected candidates. However, it is not risk-free, especially in a vulnerable population, predisposing...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Acetylation Mediating Muscle Dysfunction Contributes to Sleep Apnoea in Obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs frequently among individuals with obesity, which is attributed to upper airway muscle dysfunction. Muscle function is regulated by the dynamic balance of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its reduced form (NADH), which is controlled...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...

Exploring opportunities to better characterize the effects of dietary protein on health across the lifespan.

Remarkable advances have been made over the last thirty years in understanding the role of dietary protein in optimizing muscle health across the lifespan. That is, acute (<24h) stable isotope-derived measures of muscle protein synthesis have led to established recommendations...

Lactobacillus paragasseri SBT2055 attenuates obesity via the adipose tissue-muscle-gut axis in obese mice.

The anti-obesity effects of Lactobacillus paragasseri (L. paragasseri) have been reported, but the exact mechanisms have not been elucidated. There are also no reports on the impact of L. paragasseri on the gut microbiota environment. Recently, the incidence of sarcopenia...

Exploring the Association between Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk: A Summary of Findings from Longitudinal Studies and Potential Mechanisms.

It is estimated that more than one-tenth of adults aged โ‰ฅ60 years are now classified as having sarcopenic obesity (SO), a clinical condition characterized by the concurrent presence of sarcopenia (low muscle mass and weakness) and obesity (excessive fat mass)....

Body Composition and Progression of Biopsy-Proven Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Obesity.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, a convenient and efficacious non-invasive test for monitoring NAFLD progression in patients with obesity is currently lacking. This study aims to investigate the associations...

Muscle Mass and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: Adaptive or Maladaptive Response to Weight Loss?

Recent studies have shown that pharmacologic weight loss with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and combination therapies is approaching magnitudes achieved with surgery. However, as more weight loss is achieved, there is concern for potential adverse effects on muscle...

Sarcopenic obesity in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during radiotherapy.

The impact of computed tomography-defined sarcopenia on outcomes in head and neck cancer has been well described. Sarcopenic obesity (SO) (depleted muscle mass combined with obesity) may pose a more serious risk than either condition alone. We investigated SO and...

Sarcopenic obesity and health outcomes: An umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analysis.

Many studies support the idea that sarcopenic obesity (SO) could be considered a potential risk factor for negative health outcomes. These results have been inconsistent, and no umbrella reviews exist regarding this topic. Several databases until November 2023 were searched...

Sarcopenia is independently associated with poor preoperative physical fitness in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

Accurate preoperative risk assessment for major colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery remains challenging. Body composition (BC) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used to evaluate risk. The relationship between BC and CPET in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery is unclear....
