Mercredi, avril 24, 2024

PHILADELPHIA, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As patients with congenital heart diseases live longer, researchers are attempting to understand some of the other complications they may face as they age. In a new study, a team from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) used state-of-the-art technologies to understand the underlying biology of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD).

Key Points: 
  • In a new study, a team from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) used state-of-the-art technologies to understand the underlying biology of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD).
  • The Fontan operation is the current standard of care for single-ventricle congenital heart disease.
  • As more patients undergo the Fontan surgery for single-ventricle congenital heart disease, FALD has become a more recognized problem.
  • Little information exists on FALD, yet it is distinct from other forms of liver disease, which is why researchers at CHOP wanted to understand the basic biology that could lead to better treatment options and improve these patients' quality of life.

Why you shouldn’t be afraid to start running after middle age

As someone who started marathon running in mid-life, I know how many aches and pains (and doubts) you can have if you take on the challenge to start running at an older age.

Key Points: 
  • As someone who started marathon running in mid-life, I know how many aches and pains (and doubts) you can have if you take on the challenge to start running at an older age.
  • Hobbling around my orthopaedic hospital after my first marathon actually led me to do research on runners.
  • The high-resolution MRI scans found most of the 115 middle-aged participants had abnormalities in their knees before starting marathon training.
  • But while osteoarthritis is more common after middle age, it may actually be a lack of activity that leads to osteoarthritis.
  • Reduced muscle use, whether it is through inactivity or sarcopenia or both, also reduces the production of anti-inflammatory myokines from the muscles.
  • These chemicals are released when we exercise, and help reduce joint swelling and calm irritated joint linings.
  • This effect is pronounced in runners because running uses some of the largest muscles in the body – such as the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings.

Where to begin

  • If you want to start running, the main message is to ease into it to reduce the risk of injury.
  • One of the best ways to ease into running in mid-life is the NHS Couch to 5K running programme.
  • It’s a free guide that will help you gradually work up towards running 5km in just nine weeks.
  • If you’ve experienced any of these problems, you’ll want to be careful when exercising to avoid further damage.
