Hip fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Sarcopenia is a significant factor contributing to poor prognosis; however, the clinical diagnosis of sarcopenia remains difficult in surgical patients. This systematic review aims to identify the biomarkers of sarcopenia as diagnostic and predictive tools in patients admitted for hip fracture surgery.

Diabetic sensorimotor neuropathy (DSPN) is strongly associated with the extent of cellular oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) attenuates the progression of DSPN through its antioxidant and vasculoprotective effects. Kallistatin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

A possible involvement of immune- and vasoregulatory PACAP signaling at the PAC1 receptor in atherogenesis and plaque-associated vascular inflammation has been suggested. Therefore, we tested the PAC1 receptor agonist Maxadilan and the PAC1 selective antagonist M65 on plaque development and lumen stenosis in the ApoE atherosclerosis model for possible effects on atherogenesis. Adult male ApoE mice were fed a cholesterol-enriched diet (CED) or standard chow (SC) treated with Maxadilan, M65 or Sham.

: Uric acid (UA) and the markers of mineral bone metabolism and inflammation are commonly altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are associated with the risk of cardiovascular complications and death. Studies point to a link between high serum UA and mineral bone homeostasis and inflammation, but controversy remains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between UA levels and mineral bone metabolism and inflammation biomarkers in a sample of Mexican patients with CKD 3a-5.
