Masseter muscle thickness in hospitalised stroke patients.

Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2010
The aim of the study was to investigate the thickness of the masseter muscles in stroke patients when compared to a control group (CG). Hospitalised stroke patients (18 men, 13 women; age 69.0 +/- 12.7 years) were compared to a CG (13 men, 11 women; age 68.8 +/- 10.8 years) composed to correspond to in age, gender and dental state. The thickness of the

Myosin thick filaments from adult rabbit skeletal muscles

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1999
Myosin subfragment 1 (S1) forms dimers in the presence of Mg(2+) or MgADP or MgATP. The entire myosin molecule forms head-head dimers in the presence of MgATP. The angle between the two subunits in the S1 dimer is 95 degrees. Assuming that the length of the globular part of S1 is approximately 12 nm and that the S1/S2 joint (lever arm approximately 7 ...

Muscle thickness in hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: sonographic determination

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1983
Abdominal sonography was performed in 169 infants with vomiting. The hypertrophied circular muscle of the pylorus and distal antrum could be seen as a thick, hypoechoic cylinder in all cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The thickness of each wall of this cylinder was 4 mm or more in 86 of 93 patients subsequently shown to have hypertrophic pyloric

Structure of short thick filaments from Limulus muscle

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1985
Shortened Limulus thick filaments, isolated from stimulated muscle, are structurally similar to long filaments, isolated from unstimulated muscle, except for length. Both have 3-fold screw symmetry with a helical repeat at approximately 43 nm, axial spacing of 14.5 nm between successive crowns of crossbridges and 4-fold rotational symmetry as estimated

EX10 Quadriceps muscle thickness and subcutaneous tissue thickness/age [ultrasound]

1991
Quantitation of muscle thickness is important in evaluation of muscle atrophy and hypertrophy in neuromuscular disease. Earlier, such measurements were performed using radiography (see subsection EX8), but today reproducible techniques are available with ultrasound that avoid radiation hazards.

Thick filaments of striated muscle are laterally interconnected

Journal of Ultrastructure and Molecular Structure Research, 1988
Earlier reports from this and other laboratories indicated that thick filaments may be interconnected along their length by rung-like structures. This study was carried out to test whether these interconnections are genuine structures; whether they appear in different muscle types; and whether they arise from myosin cross-bridges.

Passive dehydration reduces muscle thickness after resistance exercise

Journal of Sports Sciences
Dehydration-induced increased plasma osmolality (Posmo) alters whole body fluid balance which could alter resistance exercise (RE) induced intramuscular (IM) fluid shift.The purpose of the current report was to investigate the effect of dehydration on RE-induced change in whole body fluid balance in resistance trained (RT) men.Fourteen RT men performed

Estimation of muscle atrophy based on muscle thickness in knee surgery patients

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2013
SummaryThe purpose of this study was to establish an accurate estimation of muscle atrophy in the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle group. Eighteen individuals who underwent meniscectomy participated in the study (nine men and nine women, mean age 44·4 years).

Muscle thick filament mass measured by electron scattering

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1978
Abstract The mass per unit length of the vertebrate striated muscle thick filament has been measured to be 87 × 103 ± 23 × 103 daltons per nanometre in the region of uniform packing using an electron scattering technique. This method has the advantage that individual thick filaments can be measured separately, thus avoiding biases due to ...

Ultrasound Assessment of Adductor Muscle Size Using Muscle Thickness of the Thigh

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2012
Context:Previous studies investigated the relationship between ultrasound-derived anatomical muscle thickness (MTH) and individual muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle volume in several limb and trunk muscles; however, the adductor muscle that contributes to hip adduction and pelvic stabilization, as well as balance ability, has not been ...
