BackgroundSeveral studies have reported the implementation of nutrition therapy and rehabilitation for acute and critical illnesses. However, rehabilitation nutrition for elderly sarcopenia patients with extremely severe postoperative complications during hospitalization has not yet been established.Case presentationWe report the case of a 70-year-...

Sarcopenia is associated with adverse outcomes in clinical situations such as elderly population, in-hospital setting and oncologic patients. However, no direct measurement of muscular mass is routinely available for clinicians. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between thenar musculature of the nondominant hand evaluated by ultra...

To analyze the effect of preoperative body composition on survival in patients with pancreatic cancer following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Between October 2005 and August 2018, 116 patients (68 men, 48 women, mean age 66.2 ± 11.9 years) diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma following PD were retrospectively enrolled. The preoperative CT on ve...

BackgroundCut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI) applying different cut-offs and (2) the functional translation (clinical impact) of low muscle ...

BackgroundSarcopenia is a multifactorial pathophysiologic condition of skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength associated with aging. However, biomarkers for predicting the occurrence of sarcopenia are rarely discussed in recent studies. The aim of the study was to elucidate the relationship between sarcopenia and several pertinent biomarkers.Meth...

Purpose The number of elderly patients who undergo surgery is increasing, even though they are at a high risk due to a decreased physical strength. Furthermore, sarcopenia is generally associated with a poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods This study included NSCLC patients ≥ 65 years old who underwent pulmona...

BackgroundAlthough sarcopenia has been known as a risk factor for hip fracture, only a few reports have described the impact of muscle mass on hip fracture treatment outcomes. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of muscle mass on hip fracture treatment outcomes.MethodsThis case–control study involved 337 patients (67 males and 270 fem...

Summary“Dysmobility Syndrome” (DS) is a term that correlates sarcopenia and osteoporosis together with mobility disturbances, obesity, fractures, and falls. The prevalence of DS is of 74% in this study. Further research with bigger sample sizes is needed to describe if prevalence and DS characteristics are similar in other studies.Purpose“Dysmobili...

Malnutrition and cancer cachexia are prevalent in older people with hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) malignancy, with the resultant loss of muscle mass and function accelerating normal age-associated losses. Unintentional weight loss may be missed in patients with pre-illness obesity, delaying diagnosis and limiting treatment potential and access. ...

The purpose of this study was to examine whether long-term ingestion of low-dose milk protein supplementation causes a greater increase in muscle mass and strength of older adults during low-to-moderate intensity exercise training intervention than isocaloric carbohydrate. In a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled design, 122 healthy ol...
