MUST READ! DINOSAUR study investigates use of novel AI-aided ultrasound to assess muscle quality & diagnose sarcopenia. 🦖
🔎 💪🏼 Sarcopenia diagnosis is currently based on clinical guidelines, including assessment of skeletal muscle mass (quantity) but not quality. Intramuscular adipose tissue aka IMAT (think fat marbling in wagyu beef!) is useful marker of muscle quality. We found that IMAT index obtained via @musclesound U/S has potential to act as practical point-of-care tool for sarcopenia screening & diagnosis! 💪

This study is the first to report scattered fasciculations in the vastus intermedius muscles of multiple patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection identified with MSK ultrasound. @Paul_Wischmeyer@FudimMarat@drjohnwhittle

Just Published and a must Read!:
The IMAT index, a pioneering development from @musclesound , obtained via MSK ultrasound, is a practical point-of-care tool for sarcopenia screening and diagnosis. Clinical relevance: Now, we can assess sarcopenia, defined not only as a decline in muscle mass but also a dysregulated mitochondrial substrate utilization (which gives rise to the accumulation of intramyocellular lipids -> increased IMAT-Index).

CPET as a point-of-care (POC) assessment!
We demonstrated the feasibility of a novel augmented 6-Minute Incremental Step Test (6MIST) with the @vo2master and the @splendo Health CRF platform for simultaneous CPET parameters. 6MIST-measured CPET parameters were strongly correlated with the iCPET-derived measurements. @DukeHeartCenter@FudimMarat@Paul_Wischmeyer@drjohnwhittle
