Hypogravity reduces trunk admittance and lumbar muscle activation in response to external perturbations [PDF]

, 2020
Reduced paraspinal muscle size and flattening of spinal curvatures have been documented after spaceflight. Assessment of trunk adaptations to hypogravity can contribute to develop specific countermeasures.

CT of Patients With Hip Fracture: Muscle Size and Attenuation Help Predict Mortality.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2017
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the association between muscle cross-sectional area and attenuation, as measured on routine CT scans, and mortality in older patients with hip fracture.

Correlation between Mid Upper Arm Muscle Area/Size and Muscle Strength

Althea Medical Journal, 2016
Background: Muscle area/size reflects the true magnitude of muscle tissue changes. Muscle strength is an active tension generated by muscle that depends on its capacity to exert force on an object. The relation between the quantity of muscle area and the

Non-linear Scaling of Passive Mechanical Properties in Fibers, Bundles, Fascicles and Whole Rabbit Muscles

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Defining variations in skeletal muscle passive mechanical properties at different size scales ranging from single muscle fibers to whole muscles is required in order to understand passive muscle function.

Towards defining muscular regions of interest from axial magnetic resonance imaging with anatomical cross-reference: a scoping review of lateral hip musculature

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Measures of hip muscle morphology and composition (e.g., muscle size and fatty infiltration) are possible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Muscle hypertrophy and muscle strength: dependent or independent variables? A provocative review

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2020
The question whether the muscle hypertrophy induced by resistance training, hormone administration or genetic manipulation is accompanied by a proportional increase in muscle strength is still open.

Thigh muscle size and vascular function after blood flow-restricted elastic band training in older women

OncoTarget, 2016
We examined the effect of elastic band training with blood flow restriction (BFR) on thigh muscle size and vascular function in older women. Older women were divided into three groups: low-intensity elastic band BFR training (BFR-Tr, n = 10), middleto ...
