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 yr; BMI: 23.7 ± 3.

- A study evaluated the effects of a whey and collagen protein blend on protein synthesis rates after exercise in 28 men.
- The protein blend (30 g total) significantly increased plasma amino acid levels compared to a placebo, particularly enhancing myofibrillar protein synthesis in both rested and exercised legs.
- While the protein blend improved both myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis at rest, it primarily boosted myofibrillar synthesis during recovery after exercise.
Article Synopsis
- 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.
