Deconditioning in quiescent Crohn’s Disease patients with heightened fatigue perception. Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, 19(1), Article jjae194. https://doi.org/10.1093/ecco-jcc/

Background & Objective

IBD fatigue aetiology is poorly understood. This study quantified body composition and physical function alongside proton magnetic resonance imaging (1H MRI) and spectroscopy (31P MRS) measures of organ structure and functio...

We evaluated the impacts of COVID-19 on multi-organ and metabolic function in patients following severe hospitalised infection compared to controls. Patients (n = 21) without previous diabetes, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease were recruited...

Journal Article
Shur, N. F., Simpson, E. J., Crossland, H., Constantin, D., Cordon, S. M., Constantin-Teodosiu, D., Stephens, F. B., Brook, M. S., Atherton, P. J., Smith, K., Wilkinson, D. J., Mougin, O. E., Bradley, C., Macdonald, I. A., & Greenhaff, P. L. (2024). Bed‐rest and exercise remobilization: Concurrent adaptations in muscle glucose and protein metabolism. Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 15(2), 603-614. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.13431

Background
Bed-rest (BR) of only a few days duration reduces muscle protein synthesis and induces skeletal muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, but the scale and juxtaposition of these events have not been investigated concurrently in the same ind...

Review article: The aetiology of fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease and potential therapeutic management strategies (2021)
Journal Article
McGing, J. J., Radford, S. J., Francis, S. T., Serres, S., Greenhaff, P. L., & Moran, G. W. (2021). Review article: The aetiology of fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease and potential therapeutic management strategies. Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 54(4), 368-387. https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.16465

Background: Fatigue is the inability to achieve or maintain an expected work output resulting from central or peripheral mechanisms. The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) fatigue can reach 86% in active disease, persisting in 50%-52% of...

GeroScience, 43(4), 1567-1584. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11357-021-00396-0

Resistance exercise training (RET) is well-known to counteract negative age-related changes in both muscle and tendon tissue. Traditional RET consists of both concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) contractions; nevertheless, isolated ECC contractions...
