要旨

Background:

Grip strength (GS), an indicator of sarcopenia, declines with age and is associated with frailty, which increases the risk of postoperative delirium (POD). Assessing frailty in patients undergoing lower extremity surgery is challenging owing to limited mobility. We investigated whether GS, a simple screening tool, can independently predict POD and aimed to determine the most appropriate criteria for low GS in the Korean population.

Methods:

This prospective study included patients aged ≥ 65 years undergoing lower extremity surgery. Preoperative GS was measured, and sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) cut-offs and three other established criteria for GS weakness. POD was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of low GS in predicting POD. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables independently associated with POD.

Results:

GS was measured in 150 patients with a median age of 73 years. POD was diagnosed in 17 patients (11.3%), 13 of whom had low GS. Among the four sarcopenia criteria, the AWGS showed the highest area under the ROC curve (0.796). Of the variables analyzed-including age, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, body weight, intraoperative opioid use, and postoperative pain-only low GS was identified as an independent predictor of POD (odds ratio: 15.543, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

GS is a simple, reliable measure that may serve as an independent predictor of POD in elderly undergoing lower extremity surgery.

Heart Failure IV: Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation

Heart failure can be classified in various ways, with the most common classifications based on physical activity limitations, disease progression, severity, and treatment strategies.The Functional Classification of Heart Failure divides patients into four categories based on physical activity limitation due to symptom burden.Class I: Patients in this class have cardiac disease but no physical activity limitations. Ordinary activities like walking, climbing stairs, or routine tasks do not cause...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure

Binary Acids and Bases
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...

Strength of Cement

Strength tests for cement are not performed directly on neat cement paste due to difficulty in obtaining consistent, reliable specimens. Instead, cement is typically tested in the form of cement-sand mortar.
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
