Heart failure is characterized by the inability of the cardiovascular system to maintain oxygen (O2) delivery (i.e., muscle blood flow in non-hypoxemic patients) to meet O2 demands. The resulting increase in fractional O2 extraction can be non-invasively tracked by deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration (...

The purpose of study was to identify the presence of strength asymmetries (SA) in young elite soccer players in relation to muscle group (knee extensors (KE) and flexors (KF)) and limb preference (dominant vs. non-dominant limb). Forty-one U16 national team soccer players (mean age 15.7±0.3 years, body ...
The tendons of the palmaris longus (PL) and radial carpal extensor (RCE) muscles have extensive applications in surgery, yet despite their constant use, information about their morphological and morphometric characteristics remains limited. The aim of this study was to describe the morphological and morp...
Resumen: El schwannoma es un tumor benigno derivado de la vaina neural de las células de Schwann. Habitualmente suele ser pequeño y solitario, siendo más frecuente en los pares craneales y en la médula espinal, aunque menos frecuente en las extremidades. Se han descrito casos de aparición en las ext...
Resumen: La anatomía neurovascular independiente de la cabeza larga del tríceps braquial y su idoneidad como un colgajo muscular libre han sido ampliamente estudiadas. En cambio, la trasposición de esta porción del tríceps para mejorar la flexión de codo ha sido descrita pocas veces. Se describen e...
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenic obesity is associated with disability in older people, especially in women. Resistance exercises are recommended for this population, but their efficacy is not clear. Objective To evaluate the effects of a progressive resistance exercise program with high-speed component ...
ABSTRACT Background Muscle strength is usually measured in individuals with stroke with Portable dynamometers (gold standard). However, no studies have investigated the reliability, the standard error of measurement (SEM) and the minimal detectable difference (MDD95%) of the dynamometry for the measurem...
Resumen: Antecedentes: La ruptura del músculo cuadrado crural es una lesión poco frecuente que se manifiesta por dolor en cadera y cuya incidencia se desconoce. El paciente puede manifestar dolor en región glútea y/o inguinal, su diagnóstico clínico es difícil por su rareza y porque el diagnóst...
Sarcocystis aucheniae are apicomplexan protozoa that infect South American camelids (SACs), giving rise to macroscopic cysts similar to rice grains in skeletal muscles. Visual detection of macrocysts in slaughtered animals hampers commercialization of SAC meat, a highly relevant economic exploitation for...
