Filter by:This study refers to the supplementation of PS23 in human experiments to help the elderly maintain muscle mass, delay muscle loss, promote physical activity, and delay the occurrence of disability and debilitation in elderly people.
The knee pain status of the patients who are followed in the rheumatology special branch of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be questioned. In patients with or without knee pain, the cartilage thickness measurement of the knee joint will be measured from 3 points by ultrasound. At the same time, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle thickness measurements of the patients will be made from the midpoints where the muscle thickness is the highest. The physician who performed the ultrasonographic measurements of the knee pain status of the patients does not know.
To evaluate the effects of protein-enriched soup plus exercise on muscle mass and muscle strength. Besides, the investigators use the valued-based healthcare standard set as well as the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression, Charlson's comorbidity index Montreal Cognitive Assessment , and Mini Nutritional Assessment as outcome measures and to use the trial in validate additional supplement protein-enriched soup plus exercise could improve the vitality and health of mid-aged and old adults.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare serum concentration of bone intake proteins [ sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), cross linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)] and muscle atrophy marker [creatine kinase (CK-MB)] between patients after the fracture of proximal femur and their age corresponding counterpart without the fracture. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the higher concentration of bone intake proteins and muscle atrophy marker a predictive factor of proximal femur fracture? The part of participants (Group 1) will be hospitalized at the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and will undergo a surgical treatment (open reduction of the fracture). The rest (Group 2) will be admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. Participants of both Groups will have the blood sample test taken, to evaluate and compare the serum concentration of SHBG, CTX-I and CK-MB proteins.
Critically ill patients often suffer from dramatic muscle loss while in the ICU. Recovery of muscle structure and function have been proposed as core outcome measures for interventional studies in ICU survivors. Ultrasound is an accessible and validated tool to monitor muscle mass over time, with quadriceps muscle layer thickness (MLT) corresponding well to more invasive or cumbersome modalities. In order to design adequately powered studies investigating the effects of nutritional or metabolic interventions on post-ICU recovery, an estimate of the population standard deviation in MLT change over time is required. Currently there is a paucity of data describing changes in muscle mass during the subsequent period of hospitalization in ICU survivors. The aim of this study is to estimate the mean change and standard deviation in quadriceps MLT over time, in patients discharged alive from intensive care. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge or up to 28 days after ICU discharge. Interactions with nutritional intake, inflammation and metabolic rate will be analyzed for hypothesis-generating purposes.
This research trial studies the effect of an online, live and interactive strength training program on physical function and strength in older adults with prediabetes.
ICU survivors often suffer from long-term functional disability. An attenuated response to physical exercise in skeletal muscle after critical illness may contribute to persisting weakness. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of resistance exercise on muscle protein synthesis in former ICU patients. The investigators hypothesize that study subjects recovering from critical illness have an impaired anabolic response to resistance exercise after ICU stay as compared to non-critically ill controls.
The present study aims to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative fat-free mass index for postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagogastric cancer surgery, and to explore the role of the FFMI in the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.
The study investigates effects related to muscle protein metabolism at provision of Parenteral or enteral nutrition
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of one week of knee-joint immobilization on muscle size, strength, neuromuscular function, and brain function. In addition, the effects of two different interventions (i.e., neuromuscular electrical stimulation and action observation/mental imagery) throughout immobilization will be determined. Following the immobilization period, participants that have lost strength will be rehabilitated with twice weekly resistance training sessions, and sex-based differences in rehabilitation timelines will be examined.
