Introduction: Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a poor prognosis. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without etoposide consolidated by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are recommended for fit PTCL patients. The role of etoposide and ASCT in EATL is unclear.

Twelve healthy, young men (age: 24±3 y; BMI: 23.7±3.

Recently, we defined a whey and collagen protein blend (5:1-ratio) to optimize post-prandial plasma amino acid availability. Here, we assessed the ability of this blend to increase myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis rates at rest and during early recovery from exercise.

- Older adults (ages 73 on average) tried heat therapy by using an infrared sauna for 8 weeks to see if it helps their muscles stay strong and healthy.
- The study found that this heat treatment increased the number of tiny blood vessels in their muscles, which is good, but it didn’t make their muscles grow bigger or stronger.
- Overall, while the heat treatment helped the muscles' blood supply, it didn’t improve muscle strength or growth in the older adults.
Article Synopsis
- COPD leads to muscle dysfunction, which may be linked to the spatial relationship between satellite cells and capillaries in muscle tissue.
- A study compared muscle biopsies from 18 COPD patients and 18 healthy older adults, assessing muscle fiber types, satellite cell numbers, and capillary proximity.
- Results showed COPD patients had more type II muscle fibers, reduced capillarisation, and greater distances between satellite cells and capillaries, potentially impacting satellite cell function in COPD.
