Objective: : To systematically review the effects of protein supplementation in older adults with sarcopenia.
Methods: : A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases until May 2023. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) randomized controlled trials with a quantitative study design; (2) studies with a study group of older adults with sarcopenia; (3) studies comparing muscle mass, muscle strength, and performance of older adults with sarcopenia after protein supplementation; and (4) studies published up to May 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Caregiver preparedness refers to how well caregivers feel equipped to meet the physical and emotional needs of patients, and this study focused on its impact on caregiver burden, depression, and quality of life (QoL).
- A survey of 151 caregivers revealed that higher preparedness was linked to lower levels of burden and depression, and better QoL, but increased caregiving duration didn't improve preparedness.
- The findings suggest that improving caregivers' sense of preparedness is essential for enhancing their well-being and ultimately benefiting the patients they care for.

Background Vitiligo is a pigmentary skin disorder characterised by a chronic and progressive loss of melanocytes. Although several theories have been suggested to the pathogenesis of vitiligo, an autoimmune process leading to melanocyte destruction appears most likely. Human leukocyte antigen-G is a non-classic, major histocompatibility complex Class I molecule that plays an important role in the suppression of the immune response.

The etiology of keloid is largely unknown; however, AD and keloid share inflammatory pathways characterized by T-helper cell 2 cytokines and increased dermal fibroblast activity. The prevalence of keloids has been reported to increase in patients with AD, but it remains controversial.
