Treatment of sarcopenia: the road to the future.
TL;DR: The advent of patient-centred (P4) care has increased attention to the fact that different molecular changes can result in the need to have different therapeutic approaches to similar conditions such as sarcopenia, and Riuzzi et al. highlight that sarc Openia can result from a variety of molecular changes resulting in changes in myofibre metabolism and alterations in satellite cell properties.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
