Entire Body System
Weight Loss
- SUMMARY: Cancer patients may develop weight loss, cachexia, which can be distressing for both patients and their family.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Weight loss, performance status (PS), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, the nutritional risk index, daily energy intake, energy balance (equal to daily energy intakes minus the REE), and survival were recorded.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The terms used to describe weight loss (hypermetabolism, cachexia, wasting, catabolism) are often inconsistent. The aim of this review is to define the components of energy expenditure and the terms that describe inappropriate weight loss.[journals.lww.com]
- Hypermetabolism in MND patients is associated with a greater functional decline but not a change in RFTs or weight loss.[jnnp.bmj.com]
- The symptoms of cachexia are loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle atrophy, and fatigue. While anorexia is strongly linked in cachexia, the role of metabolism in cancer cachexia is unclear.[medicalnewsbulletin.com]

Pathophysiology
- This finding may reflect a prodromal pathophysiology of epilepsy. Attention should be paid to the diagnosis of CJD while using FDG PET.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The pathophysiologic mechanism of CBS is poorly understood. However, hypermetabolism of the thalamocortical pathway as a result of deafferentation was recently proposed as a possible mechanism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Increased glucose metabolism on the interictal PET scan and decreased glucose metabolism on an interictal PET scan in the epileptogenic supratentorial zones and the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere are interesting observations for understanding the pathophysiology[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- These quantitative and qualitative derangements in skeletal muscle bioenergetics likely contribute to the long-term pathophysiological stress response to burn trauma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Correlation with intracranial EEG usually corroborates the highly epileptogenic pathophysiologic state.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
- From a treatment perspective, it is recognized that there is probably no "magic bullet"; that regimens will probably be time dependent and "multiple drug"; and that the best treatment is prevention.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
