Assessing the Risk of Stroke in the Elderly in the Context of Long-COVID, Followed Through the Lens of Family Medicine.

Background/aim: Patients infected with COVID-19 may experience a range of acute and chronic neurological disorders. While severe neurological complications like strokes and seizures were less common during the acute or post-COVID period, the long-term effects of COVID-19, known as long COVID, have received limited attention. This study aimed to examine the lasting consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection and establish potential connections with related diseases.

The Contribution of Diet Therapy and Probiotics in the Treatment of Sarcopenia Induced by Prolonged Immobilization Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The prolonged immobilization associated with COVID-19 infection and the restrictions imposed by the pandemic have determined major changes in physical activity and eating habits, with a negative impact on physical performance. This study monitored non-pharmacological interventions (diet therapy and probiotics) in managing sarcopenia for patients with recent SARS-CoV-2 history (14 days). A prospective study was performed on 200 patients (between December 2020−December 2021), with SPPB score < 9, randomly divided into: Group K—DP (93 patients) with dietary therapy (protein 1.

Evaluation of Geriatric Sarcopenia and Nutrition in the Case of Cachexia before Exitus: An Observational Study for Health Professionals.

It is important to assess the physical and nutritional status of the body using a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) in patients with cachexia; however, the correlation between cachexia and nutritional evaluations remains unclear. The objective of this study is to follow the effects of diet therapy in patients with cachexia/sarcopenia, using parameters measured by BIA, clinical parameters, and other nutrition-related assessments in patients with osteoporosis. This study aims to clarify the correlation between BIA-measured parameters, clinical parameters, and other nutrition-related assessments.

The Effects of the 'Catabolic Crisis' on Patients' Prolonged Immobility after COVID-19 Infection.

: Quarantine, isolation and bed rest associated with COVID-19 infection favored the loss of muscle and bone mass, especially in elderly patients. The current study aims to compare the presence of sarcopenia and osteoporosis in patients with a recent (one month) history of SARS-CoV-2 infection versus the general population. : A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 157 patients were enrolled, divided into two groups, comparable in structure.
