Filter by:The present study compared the effects of a nitrate containing beetroot juice supplement (BRJ+Nitrate) vs. a placebo (Control) on total and regional fat free mass, quadriceps muscle strength, lower body mobility, and VO2peak in healthy, older adults undergoing a 10-week long progressive resistance training program with protein supplementation.
This study will explore how malnutrition (poor nutrition/diet) and sarcopenia (a condition that causes a loss of muscle and bone mass) affects study participants over the age of 60 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who will receive induction chemotherapy (chemotherapy given as the first treatment to help cancer go into remission) and/or cancer drugs as part of standard care for AML. By studying how these nutritional and skeletal factors, doctors leading this study hope to learn how malnutrition and sarcopenia may be able to predict certain outcomes --such as how long study participants with poor nutrition and muscle loss can live after chemotherapy- for older (age 60+) individuals with AML.
This study will be the first demonstration of the utility and feasibility of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitor as an effective pharmacological therapy for improving anabolic resistant states.
This study will investigate the impact of dietary protein intake on progressive muscle loss and functionality (sarcopenia) in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sarcopenia is known to have a bidirectional interaction with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore in order to address this bidirectional complication we suggest that an increased intake of dietary protein at 1.5 gr/kg/day (current official recommendation is 0.8 gr/kg/day) could help to treat the sarcopenia, which in turn will help to ameliorate the type 2 diabetes mellitus progression.
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and functional outcomes with temporal muscle mass change.
The aim of this study is to propose a new measurement point for temporal muscle thickness (TMT) that can be similarly localized in computerized tomography (CT) /magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (USG), and to evaluate the reliability and consistency of these measurements.
this study aims to determine the effect of 8 weeks of exercise on the quality of life and muscle strength of patients with IBD. Patients will be randomized into 1) Intervention group: doing aerobic and resistance exercise according to physiotherapist prescription and 2) Control group: usual medical care. Both groups will continue their medications prescribed by the Gastroenterologist. After 8 weeks patients come back to the hospital for reevaluation of measured indices. The primary outcome of this study is the patient quality of life assessed by the IBDQ questionnaire. Other outcomes that will be evaluated before and after 8 weeks are muscle strength measured by a dynamometer and laboratory markers such as ESR and CRP and tool calprotectin. Also, disease activity using partial mayo score and Harvey Bradshaw score will be calculated and compared before and after treatment.
Sarcopenia is associated with the prognosis of HCC and cholangiocarcinoma. But there has been rare study focusing on the effect of sarcopenia on the prognosis of HCC treated with systemic therapy, such as interventional therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy and so on.
Sarcopenia is associated with the prognosis of HCC and cholangiocarcinoma. But there has been rare study focusing on the effect of sarcopenia on the prognosis of HCC treated with lenvatinib and anti-PD1.
Sarcopenia or the loss of skeletal muscle is highly prevalent in many diseases, including short bowel syndrome (SBS). While adaptation is more likely in SBS patients with a colon-in-continuity, the consequences and underlying mechanisms are unclear. An overabundance of fecal Lactobacillus was found but not yet linked to adaptation or sarcopenia. The objectives are to study the evolution of sarcopenia and the link with intestinal adaptation in SBS.
