Article Synopsis
- Muscle wasting syndrome, or sarcopenia, is an age-related condition marked by loss of muscle mass, strength, and function and is categorized into primary (aging-related) and secondary (disease-related).
- Secondary sarcopenia can result from conditions like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, which may exacerbate muscle loss through various mechanisms.
- It is crucial to screen and diagnose sarcopenia in patients with cardiovascular issues, as it significantly raises the risks of complications like rehospitalization and mortality.
Understanding how microbial communities adapt to environmental stresses is critical for interpreting ecological patterns and microbial diversity. In the case of the Gobi Desert, little is known on the environmental factors that explain hypolithic colonization under quartz stones. By analyzing nine hypolithic communities across an arid gradient and the effects of the season of the year in the Hexi Corridor of this desert, we found a significant decrease in hypolithic colonization rates (from 47.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile and mycolic-acid-containing strain, designated Y48, was isolated from soil contaminated by crude oil located in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Y48 belongs to the genus Nocardia and is closely related to N. cummidelens DSM 44490 (99.
