Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used advanced LC-MS/MS assays to test whether higher serum myostatin levels correlate with lower insulin sensitivity in 74 overweight/obese adults aged 20-65 without type 2 diabetes.
- * The findings revealed that higher serum myostatin levels were linked to lower insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index) even after accounting for factors like BMI and sex, suggesting myostatin might play a role in the development of insulin resistance.
Male Runners With Lower Energy Availability Have Impaired Skeletal Integrity Compared to Nonathletes.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
September 2023
Context: Female athletes, particularly runners, with insufficient caloric intake for their energy expenditure [low energy availability (EA) or relative energy deficiency] are at risk for impaired skeletal integrity. Data are lacking in male runners.
Objective: To determine whether male runners at risk for energy deficit have impaired bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitecture, and estimated strength.
We previously reported a 2% Clavien IIIb urologic-induced complication rate associated with blind (no guidewire, no fluoroscopy) prophylactic ureteral localization stent (PULSe) placement. As part of a quality improvement initiative, mandatory guidewire placement before PULSe was performed and urologic-induced Clavien IIIb or greater complication rates were evaluated. A systematic review was performed to elicit the overall urologic-induced complication rate in the literature.
