Differences in peak oxygen uptake in heart failure patients with and without cachexia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by reduced peak oxygen consumption (VO 2peak). Cachexia may exacerbate the decline in VO 2peak from reductions in muscle mass and strength. We sought to assess differences in VO 2peak between patients with CHF...

Budget impact analysis of a muscle-targeted nutritional intervention for sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND

In old adult patients with sarcopenia hospitalized for rehabilitation, the superior clinical benefit of a muscle-targeted formula (MTF; whey protein-based enriched with leucine and vitamin D) over an iso-caloric protein-free one was assessed through the IRIS trial (NCT03120026). The aim...

A triad strategy of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management for malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in super-aged societies.

BACKGROUND

Rapid population aging has intensified the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, and oral dysfunction, significantly affecting healthcare outcomes and quality of life in older adults. A growing body of evidence suggests that integrating rehabilitation, nutrition support, and oral health management-a...

Association of cachexia with activities of daily living and discharge destinations among inpatients with dysphagia in a convalescent rehabilitation phase; A multi-center cohort study.

Although a recent study reported an association between cachexia, as defined by the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC), and lower functional recovery at discharge among post-stroke patients capable of oral intake during the convalescent rehabilitation phase, its impact on...

Type II fibre atrophy and nuclear disruption in decompensated cirrhosis.

Loss of skeletal muscle mass is a common complication in cirrhosis that is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Since the specific pathophysiology of cirrhosis-related muscle loss is unclear, we performed histological evaluation of muscle tissue from patients with cirrhosis...

Exercise and Nutrition Therapy in a Patient With Glottic Cancer Cachexia Undergoing Chemoradiotherapy: A Case Report.

Cancer cachexia is a common complication in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC), leading to skeletal muscle loss, decreased physical function, and poor prognosis. Cachexia is frequently observed in patients with HNC, yet evidence supporting effective...

Consolidating Concepts from Recent International Expert Consensus on Sarcopenia: Implications for Heart Failure Management.

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome associated with a range of pathophysiological disorders including secondary sarcopenia that reduces patients' quality of life, mobility, physical fitness and capacity to undergo rehabilitation and recovery from acute decompensation. Although international expert writing groups...

Concordance of Freehand 3D Ultrasound Muscle Measurements With Sarcopenia Parameters in a Geriatric Rehabilitation Ward.

Sarcopenia is a devastating disease for older adults, but it lacks accessible and reliable tools for measuring total appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM). Two-dimensional muscle ultrasound (US) has been developed for its bedside clinical advantages and feasibility but lacks standardization...
