Abstract

Patients with stroke are at a high risk for long-term handicap and disability. In the first weeks after stroke muscle wasting is observed frequently. Early post-stroke rehabilitation programs are directed to improve functional independence and physical performance. Supplementation with essential amino acids (EAAs) might prevent muscle wasting and improve rehabilitation outcome by augmenting muscle mass and muscle strength. We aim to examine this in a double blinded, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients with ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke will be enrolled at begin of the early post-stroke rehabilitation in a parallel group interventional trial. Oral supplementation of EAAs or placebo will be given for 12 weeks in a double blinded manner. Physical and functional performance will be assessed by exercise testing before supplementation of EAAs as well as at discharge from the in-patient rehabilitation, at 12 weeks and 1 year afterwards. This is the first randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical study aiming to assess the effect of the EAAs supplementation on muscle strength, muscle function and physical performance in stroke patients during early post-stroke rehabilitation. Supplementation of EAAs cou...Continue Reading

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
