Decreased quadriceps muscle stiffness on ultrasound elastography is associated with sarcopenia in end-stage kidney disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Nephrology
BackgroundSarcopenia has emerged as one of the major complications in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), leading to greater disability and poor long-term outcomes.

Impaired lower limb muscle mass, quality and function in end stage liver disease: A cross‐sectional study

Experimental Physiology, 2023
Sarcopenia is associated with reduced quality of life and increased mortality in patients with end stage liver disease (ESLD). Historically, sarcopenia identification in ESLD utilised L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI).

Quadriceps Muscle Morphology Is an Important Determinant of Maximal Isometric and Crank Torques of Cyclists

Sports, 2023
The aim of this study was to determine if quadriceps morphology [muscle volume (MV); cross-sectional area (CSA)], vastus lateralis (VL) muscle architecture, and muscle quality [echo intensity (ECHO)] can explain differences in knee extensor maximal ...
