FEEDING IN THE WASTING DISEASES.

A Study of Creatine Metabolism in Diseases Causing Muscle Wasting.

The concept that focuses on oral motor and feeding function in cancer patients with muscle wasting

I read with great interest the recent article reporting the relation between skeletal muscle mass and dysphagia in cancer patients by Hidetaka Wakabayashi et al. In criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenia, loss of muscle mass, reduced handgrip strength, or gait speed is assessed as representative value of impaired muscle strength or physical performance. Assessment of oral motor and feeding fu...

Is salt-wasting the long awaited answer to the hyperuricaemia seen in uromodulin storage diseases?

showed portal vein thrombosis with progression to superior and inferior mesenteric vein and splenic vein (Figure 1). Antithrombin III, protein C and S were normal; lupus anticoagulant 1.19 (<1.2); anticardiolipin antibody was positive (IgG 30.5/IgM 50: <10). Our patient meets the criteria for SLE and for APS [1,4]. APS is characterized by lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies, vascula...

Chronic Wasting Disease in Bank Voles: Characterisation of the Shortest Incubation Time Model for Prion Diseases

In order to assess the susceptibility of bank voles to chronic wasting disease (CWD), we inoculated voles carrying isoleucine or methionine at codon 109 (Bv109I and Bv109M, respectively) with CWD isolates from elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer. Efficient transmission rate (100%) was observed with mean survival times ranging from 156 to 281 days post inoculation. Subsequent passages in Bv109I...
