Teleguided self-ultrasound scanning for longitudinal monitoring of muscle mass during spaceflight
iScience, 2021 Summary: Loss of muscle mass is a major concern for long duration spaceflight. However, due to the need for specialized equipment, muscle size has only been assessed before and after spaceflight where ~20% loss is observed.

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 ...

Muscle nuclear size in neuromuscular disease. [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1976 Nuclear size has been estimated in muscle biopsy specimens from seven healthy individuals, eight patients with infantile spinal muscular atrophy (types I and II), and eight patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The results indicate a great increase in nuclear size in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but not in spinal muscular atrophy when compared with

Relationship between masseter muscle size and maxillary morphology [PDF]
The European Journal of Orthodontics, 2011 The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between masseter muscle size and craniofacial morphology, focusing on the maxilla. Twenty-four patients (11 males and 13 females; mean age 27.6 ± 5.6 years) underwent cephalometric analyses. Ultrasonography was used to measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the masseter muscle and bite force ...
