New paper from the lab! We show that masseter thickness is predictive of cachexia in subjects affected with head and neck cancer. Great collaboration between CU Anschutz Medical Campus and IU School of Medicine with team effort led by Julián Balanta-Melo DDS PhD Leah J. Novinger MD PhD Alex J. Jones

good time to remind folks that the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2020 sits relatively untouched before Congress. This bill would expand dietitian coverage for effective medical nutrition services beyond what is typically covered by insurance (t2dm,CKD)

These are welcome findings that prophy metformin can prevent alpelisib induced hyperglycemia. But it’s unfortunate these data are obtained 5 years after alpelisib FDA approval. We need better AE management strategies built into trials. PIK3CA Path Breakers #bcsm

Why don't you take your meds for HTN and high LDL?

Congrats to Maira for winning a poster award at NYAS Cancer Metabolism and Signaling in the TME conference! Here she is, soaking in wisdom from the legendary Craig Thompson!

Life Expectancy with Type 2 Diabetes?

Diagnosed at 50? 6 Year Shorter
Diagnosed at 30? 14 Years Shorter

Similar data in T1D. Cumulative impact of diabetes is real and should be addressed ASAP.

Very nice mechanistic sarcopenia study. Important to note these mice only lose 5-10% body weight in their cancer model. So not sure how these results will compare to more potent cachexia models where mice are losing >20% body weight
