Introduction/Objectives: Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, is highly prevalent in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), significantly affecting their quality of life (QoL). Th...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a leading cause of disability and frailty in older adults. Though primarily seen as a musculoskeletal condition, emerging evidence sugg...

BackgroundSarcopenia elevates risks of falls, hospitalization, and mortality in older adults. Despite protein’s importance for muscle maintenance, evidence on its overall and source-specific role in sarcopenia developm...

BackgroundSarcopenia, an age-correlated decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, has been increasingly linked to ferroptosis, which is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. Nev...

BackgroundSarcopenia is a progressive, age-associated condition marked by loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, representing a key nutritional and functional problem in aging people. This study examine...

Ageing, immobilization, sepsis or cachexia reduce muscle mass and function. The age-related loss, i.e. sarcopenia, contributes to frailty and results in a loss of mobility and autonomy in aging and disease. Affected ind...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia is a muscle disease that increases the risk of falls, fractures, and mortality. Appendicular lean mass (ALM) assessment is central to its diagnosis, but standard methods like dual-energy X-...

Abstract Background Outcomes after curative-intent sarcoma surgery vary substantially and are incompletely explained by tumor-centered factors alone. Although CT-based body composition metrics provide objective host-rela...

Abstract Background Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy significantly impact the cardiovascular system. While cardiac toxicity is well characterized, the effects on the aorta, the body’s largest art...

ABSTRACT Understanding how skeletal muscle influences bone formation is essential for uncovering the mechanisms of muscle‐bone communication and developing therapies for osteoporosis. Here, we demonstrate that extracel...

Abstract Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation in lumbar‑spine muscles is associated with sarcopenia, low‑back pain and poorer surgical outcomes. Dixon MRI allows the measurement of IMF with voxel-wise fat ...

Bangle belongs to the ginger family and has anti-inflammatory properties; however, its efficacy against skeletal muscle atrophy in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unexplored. This study investigated the effects of Bangle...

ABSTRACT Background Physical exercise is recommended for sarcopenia prevention and treatment. Patients with frailty often show poor tolerance. To achieve universal availability, electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles...
