Experimental studies on mouse slow and fast twitch muscles
This thesis deals with physiological and mechanical properties of fast and slow twitch mouse muscles. It discusses isometric, concentric and eccentric contractions of mouse extensor digitorum longus ('EDL') and soleus ('SOL') muscles. This project primarily investigated the behaviors of muscles, to give better understanding and improved descriptions ...

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) drives loss of muscle strength, function and quality of life in ALS patients. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates muscle homeostasis via regenerative and metabolic processes, and although ECS alterations have been reported in ALS neural tissues, ECS remodelling ...

This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 53 studies and 1354 patients evaluates the outcomes of temporalis muscle transfer in facial nerve paralysis. Our results show that temporalis muscle transfer can restore smile asymmetry, oral commissure movement, and eyelid closure—findings that are translated to clinician‐rated assessments.

Characterizing Metabolic and Compositional Heterogeneity of Calf Muscle Using CEST MRI at 3 T
This study used 3 T CEST MRI to characterize metabolic and compositional heterogeneity in eight healthy calf muscles, focusing on amide, PCr, rNOE, and MT contrasts. Distinct signatures emerged between deep stabilizer and superficial powerhouse muscles. Significant correlations with age, fat content, BMI, and strength (e.g., rNOE vs. strength) revealed

Error Traps in Pediatric Neuromuscular Block
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are essential for safe pediatric anesthesia but remain a frequent source of preventable morbidity when misused, inadequately monitored, or incompletely reversed. Children, particularly neonates and infants, are especially vulnerable to residual neuromuscular block due to developmental pharmacological ...

Abstract A 5‐year‐old, male neutered, Bengal‐cross cat presented with progressive neurological signs (ataxia and torticollis). Initial haematology, serum biochemistry and electrolytes (including calcium) were unremarkable; however, ammonia was markedly elevated.

Skeletal muscle aging is associated with a decrease in expression of the lactate receptor GPR81. Treating senescent myoblasts in vitro and progeric mice in vivo with GPR81 agonist decreases intramyocellular lipid accumulation and reverses hallmarks of aging. ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle aging is associated with increased lipid accumulation, or myosteatosis,

ABSTRACT Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of heart failure (HF). However, the role of mitochondrial ROS (ROSm) in early MI dysfunction remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of MitoQ on cardiac function in cases of heart HF following MI.
