Immunomorphological manifestations of the wasting syndrome in a patient with myasthenia: thymus atrophy, reduction of the spleen lymphoid tissue, sclerosis of the lymph nodes, hyperplasia of the bone marrow, a decrease in the absolute number of T- and B-lymphocytes of the peripheral blood, intestinal necrosis, and cachexia, are first described. The condition developed along with exacerbation of the main pathological process and immunosuppressive therapy (roentgen irradiation of the thymus, cyclophosphan, hydrocortisone).

Viruses in the family can infect mammals and birds. Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) significantly affects the livestock industry by causing porcine circovirus-associated diseases, such as postweaning multisystem wasting syndrome, respiratory disease complex, and dermatitis nephropathy syndrome. Additionally, beak and feather disease virus in parrots, canine circovirus in dogs, and columbid circovirus (pigeon circovirus) in racing pigeons induce immunosuppression, followed by secondary infections in these hosts.

(PCV2) is the main and primary causative agent of Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS). To date, immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (IPMA), indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA), and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are the most commonly diagnostic methods for detecting PCV2 antigens. However, these methods require specialized equipment and technical expertise and are suitable for laboratory use only.

Cachexia is a systemic wasting syndrome prevalent in patients with cancer that significantly affects quality of life, health care costs, and therapeutic outcomes. Despite its clinical importance, cachexia is rarely formally diagnosed. This deficiency presents a challenge for effective patient management and care, health care resource allocation, and the advancement of therapeutic approaches.

A knowledge gap may exist when attempting to identify the pathogenetic mechanisms resulting in the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) or hypotonic hyponatremia. Ectopic secretion of antidiuretic hormone [ADH] is the classic cause of SIADH. But another form of inappropriate secretion of ADH occurs when interleukin 6 is activated.

Creatine monohydrate supplementation is widely used by athletes in high-intensity, power-based sports due to its ability to enhance short-term performance by increasing intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, which aid in ATP resynthesis during intense muscle contractions. However, emerging evidence suggests that creatine monohydrate offers benefits beyond athletic performance. This narrative review explores the literature supporting the advantages of creatine supplementation in women, vegans, and clinical populations.
