Impaired recovery of aged muscle following a disuse event is an unresolved issue facing the older adult population. Although investigations in young animals have suggested that rapid regrowth skeletal entails coordinated involvement macrophages, this phenomenon has not yet been thoroughly tested as explanation for impaired aging. To examine hypothesis, (4-5 mo) and old (24-26 male mice were examined controls 2 wk hindlimb unloading (HU) 4 (RL4) 7 (RL7) days reloading after HU. Muscles...
Key points Insulin sensitivity (as determined by a hyperinsulinaemic‐euglyceamic clamp) decreased 15% after reduced activity. Despite not fully returning to baseline physical activity levels, insulin unexpectedly, rebounded above that recorded before 2 weeks of 14% the recovery period. Changes in response were primarily driven men but, women. There modest changes ceramides (nuclear/myofibrillar fraction and serum) following absence major body composition (i.e. fat mass), related...
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy-directed lingual tonsillectomy and midline posterior glossectomy have been employed for the treatment of obstructive apnea in children. The purpose this study is to evaluate outcomes children undergoing tonsillectomy, glossectomy, or combined base tongue reduction procedures apnea.Case series with chart review.Tertiary care academic medical center.A case was performed review pediatric patients who underwent surgery as directed by drug-induced endoscopy. Pre-...
Evaluate factors associated with treatment delays and their effect on survival in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Retrospective cohort study.National Cancer Database.Patients receiving primary radiation or surgery for carcinoma were included from 2004 to 2017. The outcomes the diagnosis-to-treatment interval (DTI) 5-year survival. Variables of prolonged DTI (>30 days) assessed via logistic regression models. Survival was then through Cox proportional hazards Candidate variables both age,...
Prior studies have demonstrated the efficacy of lingual tonsillectomy in treating pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. The goal this study is to describe postoperative outcomes following as a part drug-induced endoscopy-directed multilevel surgery.
Background: All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are prevalent in Appalachia and cause significant morbidity mortality the pediatric population. This study investigated injury types severity patients over a 15-year period. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on ATV-related traumas presenting to our institution from 2005 2020. Patients were divided into 3 age groups (0–7, 8–12, 13–17 y) evaluate differences accident demographics, hospitalization, Glasgow Coma Scale, Injury Severity...
Many older adults undergo repeated cycles of inactivity as they encounter sickness or injury. It is unknown how readily the insulin sensitivity and muscle mass healthy men women are affected by modest physical (step reduction) if these outcomes recover following a return to habitual activity. PURPOSE: To determine changes in leg function recovery. METHODS: Healthy (5F/7M, 70±2y, 26 kg/m2 BMI, HbA1c 5.5±0.1%) were assessed before (PRE), after 2-weeks step reduction (RA: <75% normal activity),...
