Quantitative 3D-CT imaging of sarcopenia mitigation in elderly: evidence from a case report

European Journal of Translational Myology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: June 28, 2024

This case study examines the effectiveness of using combined CT imaging and 3D in monitoring prevention sarcopenia through continuous daily exercises an elderly patient. Using a 256-slice scanner with dose reduction technology advanced muscle segmentation open-source software DAFNE, we compared changes mass density 70-year-old patient 2014 2023. The obtained images allowed creation detailed models for more accurate intuitive assessment leg musculature. Despite aging, results scans performed at beginning end period did not show significant patient's musculature, suggesting that persistent Full-Body in-Bed Gym protocol (“Gym Bed" exercise routine) can effectively contribute to maintaining elderly. These preliminary highlight potential techniques only diagnose but also quantify non-pharmacological interventions against sarcopenia.

Effects of the Full-Body in-Bed Gym program on quality of life, pain and risk of sarcopenia in elderly sedentary individuals: preliminary positive results of a Padua prospective observational study

European Journal of Translational Myology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 33(3)

Published: Sept. 26, 2023

Age-related muscle loss poses a significant health concern in an aging population. This study aimed to assess the impact of home Full-Body in-Bed Gym protocol on quality life, pain and risk sarcopenia elderly subjects. A total 22 subjects with median age 71.90 years were included study. Patients participating program, frequency three times week for two months, demonstrated enhancement their as indicated by 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Component Summary (p = 0.04), improvement levels 0.03). Although not statistically significant, there was also risk. given freedom decide whether continue treatment after evaluation outcomes. Patient compliance exercise over six months its feasibility sustainability, even long term. These findings suggest that may play valuable role mitigating age-related loss, emphasizing importance further investigation into such rehabilitation prevention strategies.

Proteomic reference map for sarcopenia research: mass spectrometric identification of key muscle proteins located in the sarcomere, cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix

European Journal of Translational Myology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 24, 2024

Sarcopenia of old age is characterized by the progressive loss skeletal muscle mass and concomitant decrease in contractile strength. Age-related dysfunctions play a key pathophysiological role frailty syndrome can result drastically diminished quality life elderly. Here we have used spectrometric analysis mouse hindlimb musculature to establish protein constellation at advanced widely sarcopenic animal model. Proteomic results were further analyzed systems bioinformatics voluntary muscles. In this report, proteomic survey aged muscles has focused on expression patterns proteins involved contraction-relaxation cycle, membrane cytoskeletal maintenance formation extracellular matrix. This includes markers fast versus slow phenotypes myosin-containing thick filaments actin-containing thin filaments, as well that are associated with non-sarcomeric cytoskeleton various matrisomal layers. The bioanalytical usefulness newly established reference map was demonstrated comparative screening normal dystrophic age, findings verified immunoblot analysis.

Muscle strength is essential for autonomy in daily activities and performance sports activities. Yet, conventional training challenging during recovery from pathological conditions. This study investigates a novel combined intervention employing Focal Vibration (FMV) Action Observation (AO) to enhance muscle strength. Twenty-seven healthy volunteers (18 females 9 males, aged 22 42 years) were enrolled an intervention-control comparing 2 groups: the group received AO treatment with FMV on right leg, control underwent only leg. design allowed comparison of four conditions: FMV+AO (intervention group, leg), alone left (control no-treatment NT leg). The treatment, conducted five times week (Mon-Fri) two weeks, involved 20-minute session quadriceps, coupled, observation gym video. assessments Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC), fatigue coefficient (FC) expressed at knee extension bilaterally measured beginning (T0), after first (T1), end (T2), one-week post-intervention follow-up (T3). demonstrated significant improvement MVC over time, reaching statistical significance T2 maintaining gain T3. In contrast, all other conditions milder increases without significance. FC did not differ significantly any condition. combination optimized strengthening, offering insights targeted treatments various settings.
