Left ventricular mass correlates with lean body mass in patients with disease-associated wasting
Dear Editor, The key feature of disease-associated malnutrition, or cachexia, is muscle wasting [1]. However, an efficient tool for the assessment of skeletal muscularity in daily practice is not available yet [2]. We recently demonstrated that left ventricular mass (LVM) as measured by echocardiography reflects nutritional status in patients with systemic sclerosis [3]. Similarly to skeletal m...
متن کاملBody mass index and prognosis of metastatic breast cancer patients receiving first-line chemotherapy.
BACKGROUND The effect of body mass index (BMI) on the prognosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not been explored so far. METHODS The relationship between BMI (kg/m(2)) and progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) was assessed in 489 patients with MBC enrolled in three clinical trials of first-line chemotherapy. World Health Organization BMI categories were used: normal,...
متن کاملIs cardiac wasting accompanied by skeletal muscle loss in breast cancer patients receiving anticancer treatment?
We have read with great interest the article by Klassen et al., which demonstrated that muscle strength was significantly decreased in breast cancer patients receiving anticancer treatment, compared with healthy subjects. In addition to impaired muscle strength, chemotherapyinduced cardiomyopathy has drawn much attention in this field. Intriguingly, some patients have shown dose-independent rev...
متن کاملBody Image and Quality of Life in Female Patients with Breast Cancer and Healthy Women
Background & aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the relationship between body image and quality of life in female patients with breast cancer and healthy women. Methods:In the current descriptive, causal, comparative, cross-sectional study, 50 women with breast cancer, referring to the radiotherapy and oncology clinic of Imam Reza Hospital (Mashhad, Iran) and 50 healthy wom...
متن کاملComparison of total body potassium with other techniques for measuring lean body mass in men and women with AIDS wasting.
BACKGROUND Lean body mass is an important predictor of survival and functional status in patients with AIDS wasting. The bias between different techniques for assessing body composition in AIDS wasting is not known. DESIGN We compared total body potassium (TBK) with fat-free mass (FFM) determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and skinfold-t...
