ABSTRACT Fascial defects with muscular herniation are an uncommon, treatable cause of calf pain. Differential diagnosis includes deep vein thrombosis, compartment syndrome, soleus strain/tear, and muscle or subcutaneous tumour. In this case, sonography was more sensitive for diagnosis than magnetic reson...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic neuromuscular disorder with progressive clinical signs until death, around the second decade of life. Mdx is the most used animal model to pre-clinical studies of DMD. Parameters of exercise on this muscular disease are still unknown. This research aimed to ...
The efficacy of videos in anatomy education is still being debated. It appears that one of the major factors discouraging learners to use videos has been their length. To counteract this, 24 short videos (the longest lasting 1 minute and 13 seconds), were created for a course on musculoskeletal anatomy. ...
Knowing the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle is critical to understand how it works under normal situation and the disorders caused by extreme or pathological conditions. Sarcomere is the basic structural unit of striated muscle tissue. An important element of sarcomere architecture are the intermediate...
La inervación del músculo flexor superficial de los dedos (FSD) es controversial. Diversos autores describen que los ramos de este músculo surgen independiente o desde un tronco común que proviene desde el nervio mediano, dentro de la región cubital. Otras descripciones señalan la presencia de ramo...
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of simvastatin on mechanical properties of muscle and bone in hypercholesterolemic rats submitted to physical exercise. Methods: Ten male Wistar rats were submitted to a high-fat diet rich in cholesterol for 90 days. The ani...
Abstract Sciatic nerve transection (SNT), a model for studying neuropathic pain, mimics the clinical symptoms of "phantom limb", a pain condition that arises in humans after amputation or transverse spinal lesions. In some vertebrate tissues, this condition decreases acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity,...
ABSTRACT Objective: To validate calf circumference as a technology for assessing muscle mass in the elderly. Method: Cross-sectional study with 132 elderly people from Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. Decreased muscle mass was determined by the skeletal muscle mass index (IME) using Dual Energy X-Ray Absortom...

SUMMARY: During routine anatomical dissection of the left supraclavicular and infraclavicular regions of a male cadaver, a supernumerary muscle was observed, which, by its position and insertions, consistent with the subclavius posticus muscle (posterior subclavius muscle). It had its anterior insertion ...
RESUMEN: Las variaciones anatómicas del músculo bíceps braquial en cuanto a la presencia de cabezas accesorias o supernumerarias pueden tener incidencia importante en los diagnósticos clínicos y radiológicos, así como en procedimientos quirúrgicos. La ausencia de una clasificación adecuada para ...
