Precise Few-shot Fat-free Thigh Muscle Segmentation in T1-weighted MRI [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Precise thigh muscle volumes are crucial to monitor the motor functionality of patients with diseases that may result in various degrees of thigh muscle loss. T1-weighted MRI is the default surrogate to obtain thigh muscle masks due to its contrast between muscle and fat signals.

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

An Euler-Bernoulli-Type Beam Model of the Vocal Folds for Describing Curved and Incomplete Glottal Closure Patterns [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Incomplete glottal closure is a laryngeal configuration wherein the glottis is not fully obstructed prior to phonation. In this work, we introduce an Euler-Bernoulli composite beam vocal fold (VF) model that produces qualitatively similar incomplete glottal closure patterns as those observed in experimental and high-fidelity numerical studies, thus ...

Myosteatosis as a New Risk Factor of Surgical Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Computed tomography (CT) scan–defined myosteatosis is a common feature in ESKD patients receiving kidney transplantation (KT) and is associated with mortality after KT. We aimed to explore the impact of myosteatosis and other CT scan based morphometric data on the occurrence of early surgical complications after KT.

Investigating the Correlation between Force Output, Strains, and Pressure for Active Skeletal Muscle Contractions [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Experimental observations suggest that the force output of the skeletal muscle tissue can be correlated to the intra-muscular pressure generated by the muscle belly. However, pressure often proves difficult to measure through in-vivo tests. Simulations on the other hand, offer a tool to model muscle contractions and analyze the relationship between ...

Cisplatin‐Induced Muscle Wasting and Atrophy: Molecular Mechanism and Potential Therapeutic Interventions

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Platinum‐based chemotherapeutics, particularly cisplatin, are crucial in the treatment of various malignancies due to their strong antitumor effects. However, a significant side effect of cisplatin is muscle atrophy, which severely impairs physical strength, diminishes quality of life and complicates cancer therapy.

The Ratio of Visceral to Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Is Associated With Postoperative Anastomotic Leakage in Patients With Rectal Cancer With Gender Differences in Opposite Direction

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 9, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe postoperative complication in colorectal cancer and exerts negative impacts on patients' outcomes. Studies have found that body composition measured by CT images was associated with increased overall postoperative complications in colorectal cancer; however, few focused on postoperative AL in ...

A Case of Achieving Urinary Continence Using Gracilis Muscle Flap for Recanalization and Fistula After Bladder Neck Closure

IJU Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 227-230, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction We present the case of a patient who achieved urinary continence after undergoing a gracilis muscle flap (GMF) for recanalization and fistula after bladder neck closure (BNC). Case Presentation A male patient with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction complained of difficulty inserting the catheter because of numerous false ...
