Point of care ultrasonography of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness for assessing nutritional status in critically ill children [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Muscle wasting occurs early during critical illness. It is associated with poor PICU outcomes. Ultrasonography can detect muscle thickness in critically ill children.

Association between Onodera’s prognostic nutritional Index and ultrasound-measured muscle thickness in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a retrospective cross-sectional study [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes progressive muscle wasting. Ultrasound-measured thickness captures this loss. Nutritional status influences ALS prognosis, yet the link between Onodera’s Prognostic Nutritional Index (OPNI) and muscle

Relationship between modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) Score and nutrition intake with quadriceps femoris muscle thickness in critically ill patients

Qanun Medika: Jurnal Kedokteran Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya, 2021
Muscle wasting in critical illness is seen from inadequate nutrition intake and stress catabolism. Modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (NUTRIC) Score is a screening tool that measures starvation, inflammation, disease severity, and organ ...

Ciliary Muscle Thickness in Anisometropia [PDF]

Optometry and Vision Science, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between ciliary muscle thickness (CMT), refractive error, and axial length both across subjects and between the more and less myopic eyes of adults with anisometropia.Both eyes of 29 adult subjects with at least 1.00 D of anisometropia were measured. Ciliary muscle thickness was measured at

THICK FILAMENTS IN VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1971
Two sets of myofilaments were demonstrated after incubation of strips of rabbit portal-anterior mesenteric vein under moderate stretch in a physiological salt solution. Thick filaments had a mean diameter of 18 nm and reached a maximum length of 1.4 µm with a mean length of 0.61 µm.
