Filter by:The study applies the Sluggishness, Assistance in walking, Rising from a chair, Climb stairs, Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire in older patients hospitalized in an acute care geriatric unit and aims to determine its performance indicators to screen for sarcopenia according to the revised European Consensus on definition and diagnosis (EWGSOP2) within this population
To assess the impact of a muscle-targeted nutritional therapy consisting of nutritional counseling and high-quality whey protein-based oral nutritional supplements enriched with leucine and vitamin D, on the recovery of post-COVID-19 patients
Prospective, observational study to assess sarcopenia across three chronic inflammatory diseases: chronic liver disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis both before and after therapeutic intervention (standard of care treatment i.e. nutrition/exercise; biologic for IBD etc).
There are many factors involved in outlining the patient's profile and in defining which factors can be configured as risks related to the surgical act; for the modern surgeon it is no longer possible to identify the patient at risk of complications based on the mere age or some comorbidities historically considered more influential on the surgical outcome, but each patient must be evaluated in its entirety including age, fragility, comorbidity, state nutritional and sarcopenia and, if necessary, implementing preoperative therapeutic strategies aimed at minimizing the impact of some of these factors on the outcome of surgery. Our study aimed at creating, if possible, an "identikit" of the patient who is more likely to have serious postoperative complications; in order to improve the therapeutic decision and the approach to patients with severe surgical risk since choosing the right treatment for the right patient is essential to obtain a good result.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease of aging. The average age of PD onset is about 60 years old. Sarcopenia is common in PD patients, and one in five Parkinson's patients is diagnosed with severe sarcopenia. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease is expected to increase in the coming decades as the population ages. Sarcopenia is a syndrome with progressive and widespread loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, resulting in disability, loss of quality of life, and even death. Chronic disease, long-term bedridden, unreasonable diet and drug therapy may be the important factors leading to sarcopenia. China is gradually stepping into an aging society. Sarcopenia, as an age-related disease, lacks effective treatment, and has become a global public health problem and frontier research problem, bringing huge economic burden to families and society. The decline of the musculoskeletal system in the elderly will lead to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle strength, as well as decreased motor ability and balance ability, and ultimately lead to a decline in the quality of life of the elderly. The European Working Group on Sarcopenia recommends routine screening for sarcopenia in older people aged 65 and over in the community. At present, screening for sarcopenia has not received enough attention in China, and there is no unified standard for screening methods. The assessment of sarcopenia mainly focuses on three aspects: muscle mass, muscle strength and muscle function. The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients are postural tremor, bradykinesia and stiffness. The existence of sarcopenia may lead to poor treatment control in PD patients, and the recognition of sarcopenia in PD patients may have therapeutic effects. This project through the cross-sectional survey of Parkinson's disease less muscle disease prevalence situation, further clear according to Parkinson's disease staging classification muscle disease prevalence, less and less by Logistic regression analysis to investigate the muscle disease and Parkinson's disease progression and the correlation between the severity of disease, for the next step nursing intervention strategies for implementation of PD patients less muscle disease provides guidance basis, to prevent and delay the less muscle disease is of great significance.
Frailty, the decline in physical and cognitive reserves leading to vulnerability to stressors is increasingly being recognized as a public health concern. Although multiple measures exist that can identify frail patients, very little is known about how or when to intervene. Sarcopenia, or the degree of muscle wasting, is closely correlated to frailty and patient outcomes. This is a prospective cohort study of critically ill patients to identify modifiable risk factors of sarcopenia, as potential targets to reduce frailty.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world after cardiovascular disease (8.7 million deaths in 2015 for 17.5 million cases) 1. Despite a great deal of progress in disease detection and treatment, the incidence of cancer is steadily increasing (+ 33% in 2015) and particularly in certain locations (pancreas, lungs, brain and stomach), including risk factors are not always identified. Advanced stage cancer (= metastatic) is most often incurable with the exception of germ cell tumors. Palliative care is then most often offered. Palliative care favors the patient's quality of life as a whole (medical, physical, psychological and social). The symptoms most often reported by patients are: pain, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, and are directly related to phenomena such as cachexia, loss of autonomy and deterioration of psychological state, resulting in decreased overall survival. Chemotherapies and targeted therapies (immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, participation in a clinical trial) can provide a benefit in quality of life and survival only in the early phase (little benefit in the terminal phase). Other prognostic factors can impact the quality of life and overall survival in these situations: sarcopenia and disorders of nutritional status (obesity, undernutrition). The study of sarcopenia by CT scan of patients in a palliative situation is still too scarce. Sarcopenia is an often underestimated event and is associated with older age, co-morbidities, increased infectious complications, and early mortality. The study of the prevalence of sarcopenia by CT scan would confirm its prognostic impact in a palliative situation.
This study will evaluate the adaptations in skeletal muscle that occur in response to 10 weeks of weight training with or without peanut protein supplementation in untrained men and women ages 18-30
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of supplementation with a nutritional blend based on Omega 3 fatty acids, the probiotic leucine Lactobacillus paracasei PS23 (OLEP), on muscle mass recovery in sarcopenic patients.
