Investigating the Mechanism of Conditioning Versus Postoperative Electrical Stimulation to Enhance Nerve Regeneration: One Therapy, Two Distinct Effects

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regeneration after peripheral nerve injury is often insufficient for functional recovery. Postoperative electrical stimulation (PES) following injury and repair significantly improves clinical outcomes; recently, conditioning electrical stimulation (CES), delivered before nerve injury, has been introduced as a candidate for clinical ...

Neurofilament Light Chain Levels, Skeletal Muscle Loss, and Nutritional Decline: Key Prognostic Factors in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hypermetabolism and weight loss are established negative prognostic factors in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the role of individualized body composition parameters in predicting ALS progression has been underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between nutritional parameters, neurofilament

Quality of Life of People With Neuromuscular Diseases: The Role of Stigma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Stigma is thought to have a profound impact on quality of life (QoL) among people with neuromuscular diseases (NMD), but empirical evidence is limited. This study sought to explore associations of enacted stigma (social exclusion) and felt stigma (shame, fear of exclusion) with QoL.

Can Manual Therapy Alter Muscle Stiffness in Patients With Spinal Accessory Nerve Injury?

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Shoulder and neck dysfunctions resulting from spinal accessory nerve injury impair quality of life. This study aims to investigate the effects of manual therapy in combination with standard physiotherapy on the mechanical properties of muscle, neck and shoulder function, pain, and quality of life in head and neck cancer patients ...

Proteomic Insight Into Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis Pathways

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, but the pathogenesis mechanism is still elusive. Advances in proteomics have uncovered key molecular mechanisms underlying AD, revealing a complex network of dysregulated pathways, including amyloid metabolism, tau pathology, apolipoprotein E (APOE), protein degradation ...

The Prognostic Significance of Handgrip Strength in Cirrhosis: Simplicity Is the Ultimate Sophistication

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
The advantages to measure handgrip strength (HGS) are simple, convenient, noninvasive, cost‐effective, and easy to be widely carried out during daily clinical practice. Mounting evidence demonstrates that muscle strength measured by HGS is a feasible and reliable metric to evaluate nutritional status, as well as relevant cirrhosis‐related complications
