“…Indeed, more sarcopenia was detected even in advanced liver disease with an expansion of ECW. While VFA measurements using the impedance method tend to be problematic, based on their strong correlation with VFA measured by CT and previous findings in chronic diseases, we believe it is a fully sufficient biomarker for clinical application (22)(23)(24).…”

Objective Although the prognosis is known to be poor in cirrhosis patients associated with sarcopenia, the relationships among skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and the liver have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, the prognosis and its associations with body composition and the severity of liver disease were examined in patients with cirrhosis. Methods The skeletal muscle mass and visceral fat area were measured in 161 patients with cirrhosis, the effects of body composition on the prognosis were analyzed, and any factors that contribute to changes in body composition were assessed. Results During the mean observation period of 1,005 days, 73 patients died. Patients with sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity had a poor prognosis, and this difference was pronounced in the subset of patients classified as Child-Pugh class A. A decreased skeletal muscle mass was strongly correlated with decreased serum albumin levels. Sarcopenia is a common feature of advanced cirrhosis, and transitions were observed from normal body composition to sarcopenia and from obese to sarcopenic obesity. Conclusion The body composition is a prognostic factor for cirrhosis, and a better body composition may be advantageous for obtaining a long-term survival in patients with cirrhosis.

“…1 But the commonest cause of hypothalamopituitary-adrenal axis suppression is exogenous steroid use, and about 1% of the UK population are on such therapy. 2 These steroid-treated subjects have a higher incidence of adrenal crises (15.2/100 patient years) compared with patients with Addison's and pituitary disease. Mortality is increased in hypoadrenalism and 25% die of an adrenal crisis.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] If these patients are then administered excess amounts of either endogenous or exogenous insulin without correcting their excess caloric intake and/or improving their decreased physical activity, they will experience inappropriate body weight gain although their blood glucose control may be improved. In this study, we added SGLT2 inhibitors to the patients' current medication and observed whether SGLT2 inhibitor administration could attenuate the tendency for HbA1c to get worse towards winter season.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Potential susceptibilities to seasonal change of HbA1c include inappropriate dietary calorie intake and insufficient physical activity in winter. In our hospital, the majority of diabetes patients are farmers and their physical activity is relatively lower in winter (agricultural off-season) than in summer (busy farming season).…”

“…Mortality is increased in hypoadrenalism and 25% die of an adrenal crisis. 2 These crises should be preventable with education of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs). However, studies show significantly poor knowledge in both groups, 3,4 leading to failure to increase…”
