Abstract

Importance

Aging generates changes over the years. Because of this, the musculoskeletal system is directly degraded and suffer deficits in its performance in elderly patients with Sarcopenia, as this condition is characterized by a decrease in muscle mass and function.

Objective

Correlate the motor reaction time and functional skills of non-sarcopenic, pre-sarcopenic and sarcopenic elderly women, and analyze influence on the risk of falls.

Design

Cross-sectional observational analytical study, following the methodological strategies of STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology), carried out under the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of the Unievangélica University, no. 3.694.235/2019.

Setting

Participants were evaluated regarding: cognitive status, level of physical activity, fear of falling, body composition, motor reaction time, static and dynamic balance, gait kinetics, strength and endurance of the lower limbs and finally handgrip strength.

Participants

A total of 59 volunteer elderly women were assessed following the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP).

Results

The results show that there was a greater difference in motor reaction time between the non-sarcopenic and sarcopenic elderly women due to the executing organ being damaged by the presence of sarcopenia, causing motor response to slowdown. Functional deficit, fear of falling and greater risk of falls were observed in the sarcopenic group, under the harmful influence of increased motor reaction time.

Conclusion

Sarcopenic elderly women present increased motor reaction time, that is, slowed motor responses due to decreased muscle mass, strength and impaired musculature, which generate functional deficits that contribute to an increased risk of falls.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

HCL-Systeme bei Typ-1-Diabetes: Blutzuckerkontrolle besser, Risiko für Ketoazidose aber höher

Eine bessere Blutzuckerkontrolle und weniger Fälle von hypoglykämischem Koma, dafür mehr diabetische Ketoazidosen. Dieses HCL-Insulin-Therapie-Profil zeigte sich in einem Vergleich von Hybrid-Closed-Loop(HCL)- und Open-Loop-Systemen bei Typ-I-Diabetes im DPV-Register.

Kein (großer) Schutz vor Kolorektalkarzinom-Rezidiven durch ASS

Die erste Phase-3-Studie zum Nutzen von ASS in der adjuvanten Therapie des kolorektalen Karzinoms ist negativ verlaufen. Das abschließende Urteil über eine Sekundärprävention mit ASS ist trotzdem noch nicht gefallen.

Möglicher Zusatzeffekt von SGLT-2-Hemmern und GLP-1-Analoga bei COPD

Menschen mit Typ-2-Diabetes, die gleichzeitig an COPD leiden, könnten von der Behandlung mit SGLT-2-Hemmern und GLP-1-Rezeptoragonisten doppelt profitieren: Eine Analyse aus den USA deutet auf ein vermindertes Exazerbationsrisiko hin.
