Background: Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a prevalent injury among the elderly, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has markedly enhanced the quality of life for many patients; however, the benefits of the direct anterior approach (DAA), which has gained popularity in recent years, remain a subject of debate. Sarcopenia frequently occurs in patients with FNF and is linked to adverse surgical outcomes.

Purpose: Body mass index (BMI) is associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving immunotherapy. Body compositions are considered to account for this association, but this hypothesis has yet to be verified conclusively.
Material And Methods: Our study included 305 patients received immunotherapy at 3 centers between August 2018 and February 2022.

Background: Most body composition research in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) has focused on overweight and obesity. Although limited research has shown muscle mass indexes and physical performance levels of adults with DS are similar to or lower than older adults with sarcopenia, there is still a large gap in the literature regarding sarcopenia.
Objective: This brief report provides a comprehensive descriptive analysis of sarcopenia and obesity markers in individuals with DS.

To analyze the evidence in the scientific literature that relates Long-Covid and obesity, a narrative review of articles published in English and Spanish in Medline and Embase in the last 5years has been carried out. Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes a systemic inflammatory state increasing nutritional demand that favors sarcopenia in Long-Covid syndrome. It also causes endothelial dysfunction and a prothrombotic state that favors the formation of microthrombi and tissue hypoxia.

However, mechanical complications and more particularly - proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) - are common with an incidence of 10%-40% depending on the studies.
