Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and irreversible airflow limitation. Different factors that modify pulmonary function include age, sex, muscular strength, a history of exposure to toxic agents. However, the impact body composition compartments sarcopenia on not well-established. This study aimed evaluate how affect in COPD patients.In cross-sectional study, patients with confirmed diagnosis COPD, > 40 years old, forced expiratory volume first...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with high morbidity mortality. Patients often exhibit impaired nutritional status alterations in body composition, such as dynapenia sarcopenia, which correlate poor pulmonary function, reduced exercise tolerance diminished quality of life. However, the impact sarcopenia on prognosis has not been examined extensively ILD patients. We assessed risk factors for mortality their prevalence ILD. Methods...

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have alterations in body composition, such as low cell integrity, mass, and disturbances water distribution evidenced by higher impedance ratio (IR), phase angle (PhA), well strength, muscle sarcopenia. Body composition are associated adverse outcomes. However, according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People 2 (EWGSOP2), impact of these mortality COPD patients is not well-established. Our aims were evaluate whether...

Background: Antineoplastic treatments produce adverse events (AE) such as gastrointestinal toxicity. These AE can reduce nutritional intake and promote weight muscle mass loss. Objective: To determine if body composition, status, or function predicts toxicity during chemotherapy in cervical cancer (CC) patients. Methods: Women with CC were studied. Nutritional status was evaluated according to PG-SGA, composition measured bioimpedance. Toxicity graded the National Cancer Institute (NCI)...

Background: Coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a significant public health problem worldwide. COVID-19 increases the risk of non-pulmonary complications such as acute myocardial injury, renal failure, thromboembolic events, and multi-organic damage. Several studies have documented increased inflammation molecules, endothelial dysfunction biomarkers, dysregulation coagulation factors in patients. In addition, endothelium exacerbated by oxidative stress (OxS) promoted endocrine...

Abstract Background SARS-CoV-2 is a systemic disease that affects endothelial function and leads to coagulation disorders, increasing the risk of mortality. Blood levels biomarkers such as Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), Thrombomodulin or Dendritic Cell Antigen-3 (BDCA3), uUokinase (uPA) increase in patients with severe can be prognostic indicators for Therefore, aim this study was determine effect VWF, BDCA3, uPA on Methods From May 2020 January 2021, we studied prospective cohort hospitalized...

After hospital discharge, post-COVID-19 syndrome has been observed to be associated with impaired diffusing capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and lung imaging abnormalities, in addition loss of mass/strength, sarcopenia, obesity impact exercise tolerance, pulmonary functions, overall prognosis. However, the relationship between function coexistence low strength sarcopenia patients remains poorly investigated. Therefore, our aim was evaluate association dynapenia patients. This...
