P139/31 Role of sarcopenia as a predictor of functional outcome of ischemic stroke
ConclusionIschemic stroke patients with an early diagnosis of sarcopenia (according to EWGS and AWGS) had a significantly higher risk of poor functional outcome. Height-adjusted ASMs may play an important role in predicting poor functional outcomesDisclosure of Interestnone

As an inhibitor of norepinephrine release, dexmedetomidine provides no improvement on stroke-associated pneumonia in mice
Conclusion: The clinical use of DEX in stroke patients should be approached with caution, considering its inability to alleviate SAP symptoms and reduce the infarct area. Further research is necessary to fully understand the relationship between decreased CD3+ T cells and DEX’s influence on SAP.

Validity of Bioelectric Impedance in Relation to Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry for Measuring Baseline and Change in Body Composition After an Exercise Program in Stroke
Vanzella, LM, Lawand, R, Shuaib, M, Oh, P, Corbett, D, and Marzolini, S. Validity of bioelectric impedance in relation to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for measuring baseline and change in body composition after an exercise program in stroke. J Strength Cond Res 36(12): 3273–3279, 2022—Exercise is an important strategy to improve fat-free mass (FFM) and reduce percent fat mass (FM%). However, no study has reported on a valid, cost-effective method to measure changes in body composition after stroke. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dua...

Utility of ultrasound as a promising diagnostic tool for stroke-related sarcopenia: A retrospective pilot study
This study aimed to examine the correlation between ultrasonographic quadriceps muscle thickness (QMT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived appendicular lean mass (ALM) in patients with acute hemiplegic stroke. Twenty five participants were included (13 men and 12 women) in this study, who were diagnosed with stroke within 1 month. For both paretic and non-paretic legs, QMT was measured by an ultrasound and ALM was obtained by performing DXA scan. We analyzed the difference and the correlation between ultrasonographic QMT and DXA-derived lean body mass of both paretic and non-paretic legs. Stroke patients wer...

Sickle cell bone disease and response to intravenous bisphosphonates in children
ConclusionChildren with SCD have the potential for extensive and early-onset bone morbidity. In this series, IV bisphosphonates were effective for bone pain analgesia and did not trigger sickle cell complications.

Sarcopenic Obesity in Individuals With Neurodisabilities: The SarcObeNDS Study
ConclusionIn summary, we observed significantly lower BMI and SMI scores in both genders compared to healthy controls. At the clinical level, a timely diagnosis and rapid treatment of sarcopenia and/or obesity in this population may prevent further metabolic repercussions accompanied by higher functional decline and lower quality of life.

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 4310: Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis from DXA Scan and Retinal Images Using Deep Learning
In this study, we aimed at diagnosing CVD using a novel approach integrating information from retinal images and DXA data. We considered an adult Qatari cohort of 500 participants from Qatar Biobank (QBB) with an equal number of participants from the CVD and the control groups. We designed a case-control study with a novel multi-modal (combining data from multiple modalities—DXA and retinal images)—to propose a deep learning (DL)-based technique to distinguish the CVD group from the control group. Uni-modal models based on retinal images and DXA data achieved 75.6% and 77.4% accuracy, respective...

The Effect of Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplementation on Stroke-Related Sarcopenia
ConclusionOur results showed a positive effect of BCAA supplementation on sarcopenia after stroke. We also found that nutritional support helps functional improvement during neurological recovery. These results suggest that comprehensive rehabilitation intervention combined with BCAA supplementation could be a helpful option during the critical period of post-stroke neurological recovery.

Body Anthropometrics and Rectal Temperature Cooling Rates in Women With Hyperthermia
CONCLUSIONS: Body anthropometrics did not affect CWI Trec cooling rates in women with hyperthermia. Clinicians need not worry about anthropometric characteristics slowing the treatment of severe hyperthermia in women using CWI.PMID:35230443 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-225-20
