Cutpoints for Low Appendicular Lean Mass That Identify Older Adults With Clinically Significant Weakness
BACKGROUND Low lean mass is potentially clinically important in older persons, but criteria have not been empirically validated. As part of the FNIH (Foundation for the National Institutes of Health) Sarcopenia Project, this analysis sought to identify cutpoints in lean mass by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry that discriminate the presence or absence of weakness (defined in a previous report i...
متن کاملMembrane excitability, weakness, and fatigue.
A failure in membrane excitability, defined as an inability of the sarcolemma and T-tubule to translate the neural discharge command into repetitive action potentials, represents an inviting cause of mechanical disfunction in both health and disease. A failure at this level would precipitate a disturbance in signal transmission between the T-tubule and the calcium release channels of the sarcop...
متن کاملInhibitory Selection Mechanisms in Clinically Healthy Older and Younger Adults.
OBJECTIVE Declines in working memory are a ubiquitous finding within the cognitive-aging literature. A unitary inhibitory selection mechanism that serves to guide attention toward task-relevant information and resolve interference from task-irrelevant information has been proposed to underlie such deficits. However, inhibition can occur at multiple time points in the memory-processing stream. H...
متن کاملCaspase and calpain activation both contribute to sepsis-induced diaphragmatic weakness.
The cecal ligation perforation (CLP) model of sepsis is known to induce severe diaphragm dysfunction, but the cellular mechanisms by which this occurs remain unknown. We hypothesized that CLP induces diaphragm caspase-3 and calpain activation, and that these two enzymes act at the level of the contractile proteins to reduce muscle force generation. Rats (n = 4/group) were subjected to 1) sham s...
متن کاملThe Contribution of Physical and Mental Trainings to Depression and Insomnia Disorders in Older Adults
Introduction: Aging is associated with biological changes and may lead to various cognitive behavioural disorders such as insomnia and depression. Non-pharmacological interventions with pharmacological therapies would be effective, economical, and safe. The present study compared the effect of muscle strength-range of movement (MSROM) training and digital game on insomnia and depression disorde...
