Does skeletal muscle weakness recognized early during hospitalization for acute heart failure predict short-term mortality?

Clinical Nutrition Open Science
Introduction: Impairment of skeletal muscle is common in heart failure (HF) but understudied in acute episodes. Objective: To assess the relationship between skeletal muscle weakness identified early during hospitalization for acute HF and the risk of ...

Targeting STAT6 to mitigate sepsis-induced muscle atrophy and weakness: Modulation of mitochondrial dysfunction, ferroptosis, and CHI3L1-Mediated satellite cell loss

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Sepsis-induced muscle weakness is a debilitating consequence of prolonged critical illness, often associated with a poor prognosis. While recent research has shown that STAT6 functions as an inhibitor of myogenesis, its role in sepsis-induced muscle ...

Muscle weakness in cerebral palsy

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2009
Over the last two decades, muscle weakness has been shown to be a major component of cerebral palsy (CP) pathology. Caused by multiple etiologies including variations in the muscle fiber type, pathologic motor unit function, co-contraction of agonists and antagonists, and muscle size and rigidity, weakness interferes with function and leads to limited ...
