Body fat, metabolic changes before pancreatic cancer diagnosis may aid in early detection
In the 36 months prior to diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, researchers observed “predominant changes” in patients’ body composition and biochemical markers, which may serve as potential biomarkers for early cancer detection.
Study indicates links between specific adipose tissue, insulin resistance and CKD
PHILADELPHIA — Compared with controls, patients with chronic kidney disease showed greater accumulation of intermuscular adipose tissue that has a strong association with insulin resistance, according to data presented at ASN Kidney Week.
Heavy daily drinking tied to increased ectopic fat
Increased daily alcohol intake was associated with elevated ectopic adiposity, especially among individuals who reported binge drinking in the past month, researchers reported.
Biologics may provide good imaging results for rotator cuff repair
NEW ORLEANS — Use of biologics in rotator cuff repair may provide good imaging results, but more research is needed on its impact on clinical outcomes, according to a presenter here.
VIDEO: Speaker addresses use of autologous tissue in orthobiologic surgery
NEW ORLEANS — In this video, Brian J. Cole, MD, MBA, FAANA, discusses the possible use of autologous tissue for orthobiologic surgery.
Speaker: Surgeons should understand how to bill for orthobiologics
LAS VEGAS — In addition to discussing the use of orthobiologics with patients, surgeons need to understand how to bill for orthobiologics, according to a presenter here.
AI-measured epicardial adipose tissue may improve CV risk prediction
A deep learning model trained to quantify epicardial adipose tissue volume measured via routine coronary CT angiography scans can improve risk assessment for CV and non-CV outcomes, independent of other risk factors, researchers reported.
