Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was characterised with insulin resistance and deficiency, furthermore with advancing age the was also an increase in insulin resistance. Clinical studies has proven that insulin resistance and T2DM increase the incidence of frailty syndrome in the elderly. Oral antidiabetics metformin was associated with the inhibition of aging process. Eventhough, there was limitless literature and theorical that showed the relationship of metformin therapy to frailty syndrome. This study aimed to explore the possibility of metformin protective effect on frailty syndrome. This research method uses structured descriptive analysis with literature review. Article Data both original article, research article, Review article and case report are collected to be analyzed in accordance with the purpose of the title and writing of this article. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance and deficiency which had happened several decades earlier, in addition to the incidence of insulin resistance will also increase. On some clinical studies that have been conducted, insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes mellitus, it has been shown to increase the number of occurrences of frailty syndrome in old age. Conclusion Metformin was shown to have protective effect against frailty syndrome in elderly diabetic

Abstract

Introduction: Patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy often experience pain, cognitive impairments, and changes in brainwave activity. This study evaluated the efficacy of Virtual Reality Positive Self-Talk (VR-PST) on changes in brain wave activity in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted involving 92 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, who were randomly assigned to the VR-PST intervention group (n = 46) and the control group (n = 46). Participants in the VR-PST group received five intervention sessions conducted over a two-week period, consisting of structured cognitive self-talk presented in a virtual reality environment (VR-PST), while the control group received standard care. Brain wave activities in both groups were measured using the Muse 2 electroencephalographic (EEG) device before and after the intervention. Results: There were shifts in brain waves from delta to alpha waves in both groups, indicating relaxation; however, the VR-PST group showed a more dominant increase in beta waves. The VR-PST group demonstrated a trend toward greater cognitive activation; however, Fisher’s Exact Test showed that the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.052). Conclusions: Although the difference was not statistically significant, the observed trend of increased beta-wave activity in the VR-PST group suggests a possible enhancement of cognitive activation. However, this finding should be interpreted with caution, and further studies are required to confirm this effect.

Abstract

Background: Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is an adaptive process influenced by molecular signals and metabolic conditions. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, plays a crucial role in regulating skeletal muscle growth and regeneration through its interaction with key pathways such as mTOR, PGC-1?, FOXO, and myogenic factors. Aim: This literature review summarizes the current scientific evidence on the role of SIRT1 in muscle hypertrophy, including its effects on mitochondrial efficiency, oxidative stress reduction, and suppression of catabolic genes such as atrogin-1 and MuRF1. Method: A literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, focusing on articles from the last 10 years. Result: These findings indicate that SIRT1’s effects are highly context-dependent, varying with cellular energy status and external stimuli such as exercise or caloric restriction. Rather than directly inducing hypertrophy, SIRT1 facilitates a favorable cellular environment that enables sustained muscle growth. Conclusion: These insights offer promising potential for the development of molecular-based therapies to preserve or enhance muscle mass, particularly in aging populations or pathological conditions.
