Article Synopsis
- - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is linked to increased risks of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and has a complex relationship with osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal women, highlighting the need for further study on these connections.
- - A study involving 444 postmenopausal women found that those with DM had higher rates of sarcopenia (23.4%) and lower rates of OP (33.5%) compared to controls, suggesting differing impacts of DM on muscle and bone health.
- - Results indicated that longer menopause duration positively influenced OP risk, while higher age and body mass index correlated with greater sarcopenia risk; DM appeared to negatively impact OLST scores, reflecting challenges
Unlabelled: As muscle and bone are closely-related, we have explored the association between sarcopenia-related measurements and bone mineral density (BMD) (and osteoporosis) in postmenopausal women. Grip strength, anterior thigh muscle thickness and chair stand test were found to be related with BMD. Additionally, grip strength < 22 kg increased the odds ratio of osteoporosis 1.

Periodic or cyclic seizures are extremely rare phenomena, most of which are nonconvulsive, only reported in critically ill patients. Here we report a patient with periodic focal impaired awareness seizures following a minor stroke and address possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
