Heat Therapy: Targeting Health, Disease, and Disability

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
The predominance of evidence suggests heat therapy has an impact on all aspects of health and performance, but the drivers of that improvement, the extent to which they are improved, and the specific populations in which improvements manifest are far from completely understood.

Muscle Imaging in Inclusion Body Myositis: Refinement of MRI Criteria and Insights Into Upper Body Involvement

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM) can be delayed because of its heterogeneous clinical presentation and the lack of specific biomarkers. Muscle imaging has gained increasing relevance over the past decade and is now included among the supportive criteria in the international diagnostic guidelines.

Reliability and Repeatability of Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Healthy and Pathological Patellar Tendons

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Patellar tendinopathy and bone‐patellar tendon‐bone autograft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are tendon injuries that impact long‐term knee health. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non‐invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based approach with the potential to assess tendon microstructure.
