Evaluation of Porcine Psoas Major as a Scaffold Material for Engineered Heart Tissues. [PDF]

Tissue Eng Part C Methods, 2023
Decellularized porcine myocardium is commonly used as scaffolding for engineered heart tissues (EHTs). However, structural and mechanical heterogeneity in the myocardium complicate production of mechanically consistent tissues. In this study, we evaluate the porcine psoas major muscle (tenderloin) as an alternative scaffold material.

Immediate effect of application of the pressure technique to the psoas major on lumbar lordosis. [PDF]

J Phys Ther Sci, 2018
[Purpose] To demonstrate immediate alteration in lumbar lordosis and the lumbar angle in each segment after the application of the mechanical pressure technique to the psoas major muscle (PM). [Participants and Methods] In all, 34 participants were assigned to either the PM pressure technique group (n=17) or control group (n=17). Three dimensional (3D)
