Abstract

Obesity is closely associated with a multitude of musculoskeletal conditions. Many musculoskeletal diseases, including knee osteoarthritis and foot pain, are commonly thought to be related to mechanical overload, and the link to obesity intuitively supports such a notion. Walking is significantly changed in the presence of obesity—changes that are similar to those associated with physical disability among individuals in need of personal assistance in daily life. However, although obesity, osteoarthritis, and other painful musculoskeletal conditions exhibit similar changes in locomotion biomechanics, longitudinal data that confidently demonstrate a causal biomechanical link between obesity and osteoarthritis and plantar fasciitis do not exist and are needed to design better and rational treatments of patients with coexistence of obesity and musculoskeletal disorders.

In addition, weight loss leads to adaptations in gait reducing the knee loads more than can be explained by the weight loss magnitude.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

So sicher sind Tattoos: Neue Daten zur Risikobewertung

22.05.2024 Melanom Nachrichten

Das größte medizinische Problem bei Tattoos bleiben allergische Reaktionen. Melanome werden dadurch offensichtlich nicht gefördert, die Farbpigmente könnten aber andere Tumoren begünstigen.
