Abstract: Sarcopenia is strongly associated with poor outcomes and mortality following injury among the geriatric population. Diagnosis using psoas area is most common, but may be unavailable given limited radiographic evaluation following low impact injuries. Masseter… read more here.

Abstract: Background Masseter area (MA), a surrogate for sarcopenia, appears to be useful when estimating postoperative survival, but there is lack of consensus regarding the potential predictive value of sarcopenia in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.… read more here.
