Neurobiology of Disease, 2006 The mechanisms by which aging induces muscle impairment are not well understood yet. We studied the impact of aging on Ca2+ homeostasis in the slow-twitch soleus and the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of aged rats by using the fura-2

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Effect of Dietary Restriction on Muscle Performance in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2011 Dietary restriction (DR) can extend the lifespan in various organisms and is thought to present potential benefits in human. However, it is still a controversial issue now among scientists due to lack of strong supportive evidence in human.

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

Kinematic Features of Voluntary and Involuntary Head Movements in Cervical Dystonia
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has a varied motor presentation, combining abnormal postures with complex involuntary head movements. Classification of these motor patterns remains imprecise, relying on descriptive terminology without robust definitions. Objectives To provide a kinematically‐grounded description of the motor phenomenology of

Mouse skeletal muscle fiber-type-specific macroautophagy and muscle wasting are regulated by a Fyn/STAT3/Vps34 signaling pathway [PDF]
, 2012 Skeletal muscle atrophy induced by aging (sarcopenia), inactivity, and prolonged fasting states (starvation) is predominantly restricted to glycolytic type II muscle fibers and typical spares oxidative type I fibers.

Key Interventions in Friedreich's Ataxia and Their Impact on Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with multisystemic symptoms that requires multidisciplinary care. This systematic review summarizes available pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, their outcomes, and alignment with patient‐centered care domains, as well as their impact on these domains.
