Automatic retrieval of corresponding US views in longitudinal examinations [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common occurrence in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who spend long periods in bed. Muscle mass must be recovered through physiotherapy before patient discharge and ultrasound imaging is frequently used to assess the recovery process by measuring the muscle size over time.

Functionality-Driven Musculature Retargeting [PDF]

Computer Graphics Forum,40(2021)341-356, 2020
We present a novel retargeting algorithm that transfers the musculature of a reference anatomical model to new bodies with different sizes, body proportions, muscle capability, and joint range of motion while preserving the functionality of the original musculature as closely as possible.

Axial Muscle Size as a Strong Predictor of Death in Subjects With and Without Heart Failure

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The impact of skeletal muscle size, quantified using simple noninvasive images routinely obtained during cardiac magnetic resonance imaging studies on mortality in the heart failure (HF) population is currently unknown.

Morphological diversity of medusan lineages constrained by animal–fluid interactions [PDF]

, 2007
Cnidarian medusae, commonly known as jellyfish, represent the earliest known animal taxa to achieve locomotion using muscle power. Propulsion by medusae requires the force of bell contraction to generate forward thrust.

Opportunistic Measurement of Skeletal Muscle Size and Muscle Attenuation on Computed Tomography Predicts 1-Year Mortality in Medicare Patients.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2018
BACKGROUND Opportunistic assessment of sarcopenia on CT examinations is becoming increasingly common. This study aimed to determine relationships between CT-measured skeletal muscle size and attenuation with 1-year risk of mortality in older adults ...

Cycle training induces muscle hypertrophy and strength gain: strategies and mechanisms [PDF]

, 2015
Cycle training is widely performed as a major part of any exercise program seeking to improve aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health. However, the effect of cycle training on muscle size and strength gain still requires further insight, even though ...

Morphological characteristics of motor neurons do not determine their relative susceptibility to degeneration in a mouse model of severe spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 2012
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a leading genetic cause of infant mortality, resulting primarily from the degeneration and loss of lower motor neurons.

Accuracy analysis for explicit-implicit finite volume schemes on cut cell meshes [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The solution of time-dependent hyperbolic conservation laws on cut cell meshes causes the small cell problem: standard schemes are not stable on the arbitrarily small cut cells if an explicit time stepping scheme is used and the time step size is chosen based on the size of the background cells.

Impact of dairy protein during limb immobilization and recovery on muscle size and protein synthesis; a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of applied physiology, 2018
Muscle disuse results in the loss of muscular strength and size, due to an imbalance between protein synthesis (MPS) and breakdown (MPB). Protein ingestion stimulates MPS, although it is not established if protein is able to attenuate muscle loss with ...
