Introduction: Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus are serious global health challenges, which are caused by aging population, increasing levels of obesity and insufficient amount of physical activity. Althoug...

Abstract Background X‐linked dystrophin‐deficient muscular dystrophy (MD) is a form of MD caused by variants in the DMD gene. It is a fatal disease characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal m...

BackgroundSarcopenia is a progressive, age-associated condition marked by loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, representing a key nutritional and functional problem in aging people. This study examine...

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) are both key parameters of intrinsic capacity. To date, the impact of adherence to physical activity guidelines by older adults on these facets is poorly und...

Abstract Background Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) delivered transcutaneously activates skeletal muscle; its effectiveness is determined by stimulation parameters and by how skin-applied currents recruit und...

Several Sarcocystis spp. have carnivores as definitive host and sarcocysts are common in muscles of herbivores (intermediate host). However, sarcocysts have been found in muscles of wild and domestic carnivores suggestin...

Ageing, immobilization, sepsis or cachexia reduce muscle mass and function. The age-related loss, i.e. sarcopenia, contributes to frailty and results in a loss of mobility and autonomy in aging and disease. Affected ind...

Systematic tool use is a central component of the human niche. However, the timing and mode of its evolution remain poorly understood. A newly developed method for the analysis of muscle recruitment patterns (Validated E...

Rhabdomyolysis develops due to skeletal muscle cell damage. One of the most important complications of rhabdomyolysis is acute kidney injury. Herein, we present a case found to have normal renal function at first hospita...

Abstract Background Myosin heavy chain (MyHC)-related congenital myopathies display variable age of onset and clinical manifestations depending on the mutated isoform. Cardiomyopathy, ophthalmoplegia and primarily proxim...

Background and objectivesPostoperative recurrence after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) remains a clinically relevant challenge, complicating pre...

Abstract Background Outcomes after curative-intent sarcoma surgery vary substantially and are incompletely explained by tumor-centered factors alone. Although CT-based body composition metrics provide objective host-rela...

BackgroundGlobal population aging is accelerating, and China faces a significant challenge with “aging before affluent.” The disabled older adults population in China is projected to reach 58 million by 2050. Early i...

Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue due to injury to muscle tissue and can lead to acute renal failure in the case of underlying hypovolemia and acidosis. We present a case with nephrotic synd...

Abstract Myasthenia, a syndrome of impaired neuromuscular transmission, occurs as either an acquired or congenital condition. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disorder with autoantibodies against the neur...

Background: Osteoporosis has long been considered a disorder confined to bone tissue. Growing evidence now highlights its systemic origins, governed by intricate communication between multiple organs. The multi-organ-bon...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of combining immunocastration and β-adrenergic agonists (β-AA) on blood metabolites and their correlations with performance and carcass traits of Nellore...

Among the reasons of childhood mortality, cancer is the leading cause ofdeath [1,2]. Of all paediatric cancers diagnosed, soft tissue sarcomas account for7%, of which approximately 50% are rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), with an...

BackgroundSarcopenia, an age-correlated decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, has been increasingly linked to ferroptosis, which is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. Nev...

Abstract Background Idiopathic functional urinary outflow tract obstruction (iFUOTO) is an uncommon but life‐limiting disease whose etiology and clinical course of disease remain poorly understood. Objective Characteri...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito de um programa de exercício na massa gorda (MG), área de adiposidade visceral (AAV), massa muscular esquelética (MME) e índice de massa muscular esquelética (IMME) de mulheres pós-menopá...

Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) is traditionally recognized for its antioxidant and health-promoting properties, yet evidence on the bioaccessibility, bioavailability, microbiota-related effects and mechanism of action of sta...

Abstract This study reports on Kudoa spp. (Myxozoa, Multivalvulida) from the fish species Lutjanus analis, Bagre marinus, Aspistor luniscutis and Lutjanus jocu, which were caught in Aracaju, state of Sergipe, Brazil. The...

The role of carnitine as a transport molecule to facilitate fatty acid metabolism and energy production has been studied extensively. Adequate carnitine levels are critical to normal function in tissues of the heart and ...
