Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a body dismorphic disorder in which the sufferer is dissatisfied with their body size and shape. MD has yet to be studied in weightlifters, and the objective of this research study is to detect ...

Abstract To investigate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and meat quality traits by age of Korean native black goat (KNBG), four muscles (longissimus dorsi, LD; psoas major, PM; semimembranosus, SM; ...

OBJETIVOS: Investigar o efeito de um programa individualizado e supervisionado de exercícios para os músculos do assoalho pélvico (MAP) no pós-parto de multíparas e verificar a correlação entre dois métodos de me...

Abstract Background Approximately 75% of hyperthyroid cats lose muscle mass as accessed with a muscle condition scoring (MCS) system. After treatment, MCS improves as the cats regain muscle mass. Objectives To quantify t...

Ageing and obesity are major public health issues, both associated with reductions in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Muscle quality, which integrates the morphological and functional characteristics of ...

Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle training combined with positive expiratory pressure (IMT/PEP) may improve outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but evidence in exacerbation‑prone (Group E) di...

Abstract Background To evaluate the efficacy of an Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) program in improving kinesiophobia, exercise adherence, pain intensity, lumbar function, and spinal alignment paramete...

Abstract The present study evaluated the effects of fermented whey protein using kimchi lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus casei DK211 on skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in healthy middle-...

ABSTRACT To examine the acute effect of gliclazide on exercise performance and recovery of muscle strength in healthy participants. We conducted a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover clinical trial...

Abstract Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) impairs muscle function and recovery. While omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplementation has shown promise in mitigating EIMD, the role of their o...

The study verified the influence of different nutritional levels of the dams, before parturition, the weaning age of the lambs and the finishing system on lamb muscle fiber morphology and meat quality. Ile-de-France × B...

IntroductionAdrenal incidentalomas are an increasing clinical concern and, while most are non-functioning adrenal adenomas (NFAA), a relevant subset is associated with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), condition...

Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play a crucial role in culturing muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, there is a lack of extensive research on how each of these proteins influences proliferation and different...

Abstract Although intravenous lipid emulsions are routinely administered to preterm infants, their specific effects on skeletal muscle development remain unclear. In this study, a soybean oil‐based lipid emulsion (Intr...

ABSTRACT Background Physical exercise is recommended for sarcopenia prevention and treatment. Patients with frailty often show poor tolerance. To achieve universal availability, electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles...

We present a magnetically actuated vocal fold–phantom phonation system capable of reproducing longitudinal tension modulation to mimic cricothyroid (CT) and thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle activation. We first formulat...

Abstract Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common health problem faced by most parous women, particularly after vaginal deliveries, often due to pelvic floor muscle (PFM) damage. According to the International Conti...

ABSTRACT Background Low muscle mass is increasingly recognized to extend beyond aging and is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction. Its population‐level burden, ethnic disparities, metabolic clustering and mortality ...

Abstract Background Primary intramuscular hydatid disease is an exceptionally rare form of Echinococcus granulosus infection, accounting for only 0.5–5% of cases. Paravertebral muscle involvement is particularly uncomm...

Background. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has gained attention as a potential non-invasive strategy to enhance muscle recovery following exercise-induced muscle damage. However, its effectiveness remains inconsistent across ...

Abstract Cell-cultured meat, as a new type of meat food, can effectively mitigate the negative effects of conventional animal husbandry on the environment, health, and animal welfare. Muscle stem cells are the main seed ...

ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Obesity is often accompanied by skeletal muscle atrophy, which aggravates insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Chronic inflammation is implicated in this process, but the molecular med...

A new genus and species of land planarian, Pichidamas piru gen. nov. sp. nov., is described from Pichidamas, province of Osorno in Southern Chile. Pichidamas piru is a sub-cylindrical and slender Geoplaninae characterize...

Midlife represents a biological “phenotype transition” for women, during which sarcopenic obesity risk can rise despite stable BMI. Evidence anchored to the STRAW + 10 framework suggests that the interval surroundi...
