Comparison of levels of satisfaction and rates of adverse events in different anatomical injection sites in outbound travelers: a randomized controlled trial

Tropical Diseases, Travel Medicine and Vaccines
Background The choice of a specific anatomic site for vaccine administration may influence rates of acceptance but has not been studied before. Methods We conducted a randomized controlled trial in a pretravel clinic, comparing reported levels of ...

Alterations in whole muscle quality and physiological cross-sectional area measured with quantitative MRI following ACL injury

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Emerging evidence suggests that there are morphological and physiological changes to the vastus lateralis after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. However, it is unclear whether these alterations are limited to just the vastus lateralis

Ageing of human myofibres in the Vastus Lateralis muscle: A narrative review

Ageing Research Reviews
Human skeletal muscle is a complex, dynamic tissue that changes profoundly with age. It comprises heterogenous cells including long, contractile, multinucleated myofibres, broadly classified into type I (slow-twitch/oxidative) fibres and type II (fast-twitch/glycolytic) fibres, as well as a variety of mononucleated cells (e.g., immune, satellite, and ...

Identification of ultrasound predictors and development of a diagnostic scoring system for sarcopenia using LASSO regression: a cross-sectional study

Scientific Reports
Ultrasound-based muscle assessment has emerged as a practical and noninvasive tool for evaluating sarcopenia; however, the relative diagnostic value of individual ultrasound-derived muscle parameters and their integration into a simple scoring system ...
