Observation of Mammalian Similarity Through Allometric Scaling Laws [PDF]
, 2002 We discuss the problem of observation of natural similarity in skeletal evolution of terrestrial mammals. Analysis is given by means of testing of the power scaling laws established in long bone allometry, which describe development of bones (of length $L$ and diameter $D$) with body mass in terms of the growth exponents, \QTR{it}{e.g.} $\lambda =d\log

Computed tomography measures of nutrition in patients with end-stage liver disease provide a novel approach to characterize deficits [PDF]
, 2018 Aim Patients with cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) develop severe nutrition deficits that impact on morbidity and mortality. Laboratory measures of nutrition fail to fully assess clinical deficits in muscle mass and fat stores.

Single Muscle Fiber Proteomics Reveals Fiber-Type-Specific Features of Human Muscle Aging [PDF]
, 2017 Skeletal muscle is a key tissue in human aging, which affects different muscle fiber types unequally. We developed a highly sensitive single muscle fiber proteomics workflow to study human aging and show that the senescence of slow and fast muscle fibers

Early Rehabilitation with Weight-bearing Standing-shaking-board Exercise in Combination with Electrical Muscle Stimulation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]
, 2012 The objective of early rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to increase the muscle strength of the lower extremities. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise induces co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles. The

The Energy of Muscle Contraction. III. Kinetic Energy During Cyclic Contractions
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 During muscle contraction, chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy when ATP is hydrolysed during cross-bridge cycling. This mechanical energy is then distributed and stored in the tissue as the muscle deforms or is used to perform external work.
