In patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), sarcopenia is correlated with frequent complications and increased mortality. Myostatin, a myokine, is a potential biomarker of skeletal mass and/or sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to examine the association between myostatin and muscle mass and evaluate myostatin as a biomarker of sarcopenia in LC.

- The study investigated the relationship between lymphoma severity and cardiovascular health, specifically looking at arterial inflammation through FDG uptake in patients with active Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Sixty-two chemotherapy-naïve patients were compared to previously treated lymphoma patients to assess metabolic tumor volume and glycolysis associated with arterial fluoride uptake.
- Results showed significant correlations between disease severity and arterial inflammation, with higher FDG uptake in active lymphoma patients compared to controls, particularly in advanced stages of the disease.

Background: The pathophysiology of acute pericarditis remains largely unknown, and biomarkers are needed to identify patients susceptible to complications. As adipose tissue has a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, we hypothesized that quantification of epicardial fat volume (EFV) provides prognostic information in patients with acute pericarditis.
Materials And Methods: Fifty (n = 50) patients with first diagnosis of acute pericarditis were enrolled in this study.
