Estimation of Validity of A-Mode Ultrasound for Measurements of Muscle Thickness and Muscle Quality
BioengineeringThis study aimed to determine whether amplitude modulation (A-mode) ultrasound (US) provides accurate and reliable measurements comparable to those obtained using brightness modulation (B-mode) US under diverse conditions. Thirty healthy participants (15

Ciliary Muscle Thickness in Anisometropia [PDF]
Optometry and Vision Science, 2013 ABSTRACT Purpose 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.

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.

Regional Variation in Muscle Echogenicity Is Related to Muscle Thickness in Young Children
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2021 Quantitative ultrasound of muscle echogenicity may be influenced by the size of the muscle and, so, corrections may be required when comparing echogenicity between populations with different muscle size. This study examined the relationship between regional muscle echogenicity and geometry in young, typically developing children (n = 49, mean ...

Masseter muscle thickness and elasticity in periodontitis
Journal of Oral Science, 2020 This study aimed to compare the thickness and elasticity of the masseter muscle between patients with gingivitis and patients with periodontitis. A total of 124 patients (63 gingivitis, 61 chronic periodontitis) were recruited at the start of the study, but only 84 patients were declared as final participants. Patients were divided into two groups: (1)

Relationship of aging, skeletal muscle mass, and tooth loss with masseter muscle thickness
BMC Geriatrics, 2018 Background Previous studies have reported a relationship between masseter muscle thickness and tooth loss or limb muscle thickness. However, it is not yet known whether masseter muscle thickness is related to appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and grip ...

Ultrasound Muscle Assessment and Nutritional Status in Institutionalized Older Adults: A Pilot Study [PDF]
, 2019 Muscle thickness, measured by ultrasonography, has been investigated for nutritional assessment in older adults, however the associations between muscle ultrasound parameters in the lower limb and nutritional status have not been studied.

Thick-Filament Extensibility in Intact Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2018 Myofilament extensibility is a key structural parameter for interpreting myosin cross-bridge kinetics in striated muscle. Previous studies reported much higher thick-filament extensibility at low tension than the better-known and commonly used values at high tension, but in interpreting mechanical studies of muscle, a single value for thick-filament ...
