Heat stress can cause testicular damage and affect male fertility. The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is involved in various physiological pathophysiological processes, with antioxidant anti-inflammation effects. aim of this study was to investigate whether H2S could reduce the caused by heat stress. In study, we constructed a rat heat-stress model treated it H2S. Histopathology, high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics analysis molecular biology methods were used donor NaHS...

Objective: Current Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADSs) exhibit considerable variability in size thresholds for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). This study harnesses the systematic variations among dissimilar TIRADSs optimization strategies selection. Methods: The analysis focused on discrepancies observed four widely utilized TIRADS systems: ACR-TIRADS, Kwak-TIRADS, C-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS. Subsequently, several methods derived from combination of two were constructed via...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia is a disorder associated with age that reduces the mass of skeletal muscles, strength and/or physical activity. It increases risk fall incidence which can result in fractures, hospitalizations, limited movement, and considerably decreased quality life. Hence, it needed to explore candidate screening tools evaluate sarcopenia initial phases. The reported studies have been revealed sensitivity specificity Ishii score chart are higher. However, principally based...

Abstract Objective To assess the utility of preoperative Sarcopenia index (SI) as a predictive marker risk postoperative complications following hip fracture surgery in older adults. Study design This observational study enrolled adults with who were hospitalized Department Orthopedics West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from December 7, 2010 - June 14, 2017, and underwent surgery. Primary outcome measures Clinical data collected medical records serum creatinine cystatin C measured...

To assess the predictability value of Sarcopenia index((SI, serum creatinine value/cystatin C value×100) in determining potential chemotherapy-induced undesirable reactions and eventual death older patients diagnosed with stage III or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). General information was retrieved from health records mortality data obtained by phone interview. Serum Cr CysC levels were measured before chemotherapy. The endpoints recorded any causes. Logit regression analysis...

Older adults individuals have a higher risk of stroke recurrence, leading to high mortality and disability rates, which, in turn, hinders the achievement healthy aging. This study aimed assess utility baseline sarcopenia index (SI) based on serum creatinine (Cr)/cystatin C (CysC) as prognostic marker for recurrence first-ever ischemic older survivors (ISOS).Data were obtained from an cohort study. The information was collected medical records face-to-face interviews with patients admitted...

Medical image analysis, particularly polyp segmentation, plays a pivotal role in the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. The accuracy precision identification significantly influence subsequent diagnostic conclusions therapeutic strategies. However, segmentation still grapples with several challenges such as 1) considerable variations size, shape, color, location, 2) high degree visual similarity between polyps their immediate tissue surroundings, attributable to factors...

To examine the association between sarcopenia index (SI) and risk of intraprocedural events post-discharge death during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

This analysis was designed to explore the utility of body mass index (BMI) and calf circumference (CC) values in diagnosis sarcopenia.A cross-sectional community-dwelling adults ≥50 years old conducted. An InBody 770 bioimpedance (BIA) device used for measuring muscle mass, a grip-strength dynamometer assess strength, 4 m gait speed (GS) gauge physical function. The Asian Working Group Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria were define sarcopenia. cut-off BMI CC based on computed Younden's AWGS...

Abstract Purpose This study sought to explore the potential correlation between low handgrip strength (HGS) with or without asymmetry and fall risk in middle-aged older Chinese adults. Methods Baseline characteristic data from participants 45+ years of age regarding events collected two rounds (2011–2013) China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study were utilized for present analyses. HGS was defined according updated American Society Hand Therapist. Fall identified through self-...

Abstract Background The use of handgrip strength (HGS) in clinical cancer research is surging. association between HGS and outcomes patients with varied across studies, which might be due to the different measurement protocols for HGS. We aimed answer three questions: (1) Did various HGS, along numbers repetitions, lead significant differences maximum values? (2) If yes, were these clinically significant? (3) repetitions affect identification weakness or asymmetry? Methods continuously...

Here, we investigate the relationship between mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and calf (CC) screening indicators of sarcopenia risk pneumonia in stable patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.The study is prospective includes inpatients schizophrenia from two mental health centers Western China. The studied indicators, MUAC CC were assessed standing patients. as was analyzed by performing a statistical logistic regression analysis.For this study, 339 schizophrenia, aged 50 years over...

Abstract Objective Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality, it usually occurs in older adults. Our goal here was to assess the efficacies of muscle mass-related biomarkers, such as, aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase (AST/ALT) creatinine/cystatin C*100 (Cr/CysC*100), predicting 1-, 2-, 3-year mortalities CAP patients. Methods Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting Participants: A teaching hospital western China. Hospitalized...

The association between sarcopenia severity and fall history remains under-researched at present. Accordingly, this study was developed to evaluate the relationship sarcopenic status prior events in a multiethnic group of older community-dwelling adults Western China. A retrospective survey study, data comes from West China Health Aging Trend study. based In total, analysis incorporated 2719 (59.2% women). Grip strength, gait speed skeletal muscle mass index values were analysed for all...
