Summary: This study found that decreased skeletal muscle mass was associated with the occurrence of heart failure, while the relationship between changes in fat mass and heart failure occurrence varied, even paradoxically, depending on sex.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a screening questionnaire to detect sarcopenic obesity in young and middle-aged female adults. Findings indicated that individuals who frequently dieted had lower levels of FFM and BMR.

Summary: The study found that increasing relative lean body mass and appendicular skeletal mass can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome in both men and women, while increasing relative body fat mass index can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. Particularly, the risk reduction of MetS is more significant in groups with higher baseline BMI and body fat mass index.

Summary: This study utilized data from the hindlimb joints of the Helmeted Guineafowl and American alligator to demonstrate a consistent relationship between walking and running poses and full joint mobility, providing additional constraints for reconstructions of extinct archosaurs. The inferential framework developed here can be expanded to identify ROM-based constraints for other animals and contribute to unraveling the history of vertebrate locomotor evolution.

Summary: The study confirmed that combining resistance exercise with leucine-rich protein supplements is more effective in preventing sarcopenia in the elderly than just performing resistance exercise alone.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity in postmenopausal women in Korea, and their association with knee osteoarthritis and knee pain. The findings showed that the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis, knee pain, and both conditions was highest in the sarcopenic obese group and lowest in the control group. Obesity with sarcopenia had a greater effect on knee osteoarthritis compared to obesity without sarcopenia.

Summary: This study found that increased predicted muscle mass or decreased predicted fat mass were associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in young adults. Conversely, decreased predicted muscle mass or increased predicted fat mass were associated with an elevated risk of CVD.

Summary: This study compared two different supplementary feedback contents, encoding the Cartesian coordinates of the end-effector of the robotic arm (Task-space feedback) and encoding the robot joints angles (Joint-space feedback), delivered to blindfolded participants through vibrotactile stimulation applied on participants' leg. The results showed that Task-space feedback was more accurate and suitable for activities with short training sessions, while Joint-space feedback showed potential for long-term improvement and applications requiring long training.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the metabolic parameter changes in females newly diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis who were practicing triathlon before treatment with L-thyroxine and after 3 and 6 months of treatment. The results showed significant reductions in body fat percentage and visceral adipose tissue, lower BMI levels, and significant differences in thyroid function tests (TSH and fT4) after L-thyroxine treatment.

Summary: The combination of liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is commonly used for feature annotation in untargeted omics experiments. However, ensuring that these features originate from endogenous metabolism remains challenging. In this paper, the authors evaluate the analytical utility of incorporating ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) into LC-MS/MS isotopologue workflows and demonstrate the enhanced separation space and increased annotation confidence provided by IMS.

Summary: The meta-analysis revealed significant loss of lean body mass and fat-free mass within the first year post-bariatric surgery, with a majority of the losses occurring within the first 3 months post-surgery. Interventions should be implemented perioperatively to mitigate these losses.

Summary: The study found no relevant relationships between low SMM and the PK parameters of capecitabine and its active and toxic metabolite 5-FU. However, there was a correlation between low SMM and the PK of the inactive and non-toxic metabolite FBAL.

Summary: This paper proposes a Time-Varying Kalman Filter that takes into account the effect of unknown variables by using a statistical description obtained from experimental data. The results of the experiment suggest that this method outperforms the traditional approach in terms of average performance and variability.

Summary: Cross-correlating CMB lensing and galaxy clustering can improve constraints on the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL) and the growth rate of structure. Using a SFB decomposition with large radial modes can significantly enhance the constraint on f(NL). Future wide-field high-redshift photometric surveys may lead to improved constraints.

Summary: Skeletal pneumaticity is a key feature of birds, and this study used microCT scans to quantitatively investigate the extent of skeletal pneumaticity in avian humeri. The results revealed a weak positive relationship between internal air volume and humeral size, as well as independent effects of humeral size, body mass, aquatic diving, and pneumaticity on cortical bone thickness. This study sheds new light on the evolution and ontogenetic progression of avian skeletal architecture.
