The consequences of short-term disuse are well known, but effective countermeasures remain elusive. This study investigated the effects neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during 5 days bed rest on retaining lower limb muscle mass and function in healthy young old participants. One leg received NMES quadriceps (3 × 30min/day) (NMES), other served as a control (CON). Isometric strength (MVC), rate force development (RFD), lean mass, thickness were assessed pre-and post-intervention....
Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) has been associated with senescence, lower muscle strength, and physical performance in healthy older people. Still, it is not clear whether GDF-15 can be utilized as a biomarker of sarcopenia frailty the early stages hospitalization. We investigated association plasma older, acutely admitted medical patients.
Background COVID-19 is associated with subclinical myocardial injury. Exogenous ketone esters acutely improve left function in healthy participants and patients heart failure, but the effects have not been investigated previously hospitalized for COVID-19. Methods This a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study comparing single oral ester dose of 395 mg/kg placebo. Fasting were to either placebo morning afternoon or vice versa. Echocardiography was performed immediately...
Frailty is associated with longer length of stay and adverse outcomes in elderly hospitalized patients, including early re-hospitalization 12-month mortality. Identifying these risk levels on presentation at emergency departments crucial to deliver family education, plan care, arrange referrals, anticipate complications. Many instruments are available covering objective subjective parameters. Our multi-center cohort study 2,749 patients Australia, Denmark Ireland used Fried’s, Rockwood’s,...
