Abstract

Severe muscle volume loss is a recognized negative prognostic factor in patients with chronic liver disease. However, the effect of skeletal muscle fat deposition, referred to as myosteatosis on muscle volume loss remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between myosteatosis and skeletal muscle volume loss. We enrolled 362 patients with chronic liver disease (186 men, 176 women; mean age 68.4 ± 10.0 years, 94 with cirrhosis) who underwent liver biopsy and computed tomography scanning between January 2013 and February 2017. A transverse computed tomography image of each scan at the third lumbar vertebra was used to evaluate skeletal muscle tissues. Prevalence of skeletal muscle volume loss and myosteatosis were 36% and 82%, respectively. Of those with skeletal muscle volume loss, 93% have concomitant myosteatosis. Univariate analysis revealed that higher age, female, lower body mass index (BMI), higher serum albumin, lower alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lower gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, lower total bilirubin, lower α-fetoprotein, lower skeletal muscle attenuation, and liver steatosis were significantly associated with skeletal muscle volume loss. Multivariate logistic regression analysis co...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
