Paper 16: Effectiveness of hematoma aspiration and platelet-rich plasma muscle injections for the treatment of hamstring strains in athletes

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2022
Objectives: The effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on recovery in acute hamstring injuries is controversial. Previous study results are inconsistent, and a standardized therapeutic approach has not been established yet.

Endothelial cell impact on smooth muscle cell properties: role of hemodynamic forces [PDF]

, 2009
The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cell monolayer located at the interface of the vessel wall and bloodstream, where it regulates the physiological effects of humoral and hemodynamic stimuli on vessel tone and remodelling.

Elasticity mapping of gastrocnemius fascia and myotendinous junction of the medial gastrocnemius during passive ankle and knee dorsiflexion

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
Background and purposeMuscle strain is a common side-effect of exercise. In this context, many scholars have focused primarily on the biological characteristics of the muscle, generally overlooking the importance of myofascial elasticity.

Does papillary muscle free strain has predictive value in risk stratification of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundPapillary muscle free strain has not been evaluated previously in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) patients. Our aim was to evaluate free papillary muscle free strain in HCMP patients and to find whether it has a value for prediction of ...

External physical and biochemical stimulation to enhance skeletal muscle bioengineering [PDF]

, 2015
Cell based muscle tissue engineering carries the potential to revert the functional loss of muscle tissue caused by disease and trauma. Although muscle tissue can be bioengineered using various precursor cells, major limitations still remain.; In the ...

Effects of an acute bout of dynamic stretching on biomechanical properties of the gastrocnemius muscle determined by shear wave elastography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of dynamic stretching (DS) exercise on passive ankle range of motion (RoM), resting localized muscle stiffness, as measured by shear wave speed (SWS) of medial gastrocnemius muscle, fascicle strain ...

Post-training urinary titin fragment concentration increases in athletes with previous muscle strain injury: a pilot study in soccer players

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2021
Urinary titin fragment concentration has been established as a noninvasive biomarker of muscle protein degradation and muscle damage after exercise. We hypothesized that concerning the microdamage in the chronic phase of muscle strain injury, muscle ...
