Large-Scale Analysis of Iliopsoas Muscle Volumes in the UK Biobank [PDF]

Scientific Reports 10 (1), 1-10, 2020, 2020
Psoas muscle measurements are frequently used as markers of sarcopenia and predictors of health. Manually measured cross-sectional areas are most commonly used, but there is a lack of consistency regarding the position of the measurementand manual annotations are not practical for large population studies.

Analysis of the rate of force development reveals high neuromuscular fatigability in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2023
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces muscle wasting and a reduction in the maximum voluntary force (MVF). Little is known about the neuromuscular fatigability in CKD patients, defined as the reduction of muscle force capacities during exercise. Neuromuscular fatigability is a crucial physical parameter of the daily living. The quantification
