Utility of Computed Tomography Imaging in Assessing Soleus Muscle Viability for Flap Coverage [PDF]
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global OpenBackground:. The use of soleus muscle flaps for traumatic middle-third injuries to the lower leg can have variable viability, as there is no standardized way to evaluate the muscle before flap selection. This case series investigated both the utility and

Muscular Echovariation as a New Biomarker for the Classification of Soleus Muscle Pathology: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2021 Background: Soleus injury is one of the most common soft tissue tears during sport activities. Current classifications of muscle tears are based on symptoms and tear size and they do not contribute suitable evidence-based treatment protocols.

Metformin Pre-Treatment as a Means of Mitigating Disuse-Induced Rat Soleus Muscle Wasting [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Currently, no ideal treatment exists to combat skeletal muscle disuse-induced atrophy and loss of strength. Because the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in rat soleus muscle is suppressed at the early stages of disuse, we hypothesized that

EMG-normalised kinase activation during exercise is higher in human gastrocnemius compared to soleus muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In mice, certain proteins show a highly confined expression in specific muscle groups. Also, resting and exercise/contraction-induced phosphorylation responses are higher in rat skeletal muscle with low mitochondrial content compared to muscles with high

Effects of pleiotrophin overexpression on mouse skeletal muscles in normal loading and in actual and simulated microgravity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a widespread cytokine involved in bone formation, neurite outgrowth, and angiogenesis. In skeletal muscle, PTN is upregulated during myogenesis, post-synaptic induction, and regeneration after crushing, but little is known regarding

Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to long-term microgravity in the MDS mission. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The effect of microgravity on skeletal muscles has so far been examined in rat and mice only after short-term (5-20 day) spaceflights. The mice drawer system (MDS) program, sponsored by Italian Space Agency, for the first time aimed to investigate the ...

Anatomy of Arterial Supply of the Soleus Muscle [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2011 Soft tissue defects of the lower limb are a challenge to the plastic surgeon but a soleus muscle flap often provides the solution. Various types of soleus muscle flap have been described, based mainly on the vascular supply. This study has been conducted

Measuring neuromuscular junction functionality [PDF]
, 2017 Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) functionality plays a pivotal role when studying diseases in which the communication between motor neuron and muscle is impaired, such as aging and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
