Contexto e objetivo: O envelhecimento está associado a diversas alterações fisiológicas que podem afetar a aptidão física e a capacidade funcional, como a sarcopenia e a dinapenia. O presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever e comparar aspectos físicos e funcionais de adultos em relação aos c...

Caracterización clínica de pacientes con miopatía inflamatoria en la región del Maule

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (2), 2024
Inflammatory myopathies belong to a heterogeneous group of autoimmune diseases, which are mainly characterized by muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzymes, myopathic changes on electromyography, and muscle biopsy abnormalities. They may also have extraocular manifestations as well as involvement of the l...

Effect of Swimming at Low Temperature on Uncoupling Protein Gene Expression in Skeletal Muscle of Wistar Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: As the economy develops and living standards improve, overweight and obesity are increasingly prevalent. Currently, weight-loss medications are primarily administered orally or intravenously, which can result in poor targeting, low bioavailability, frequent administration, and high toxicity and ...

Morphology and Morphometry of the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles of the Hand: Laterality and Sexual Dimorphism

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The dorsal interosseous muscles (DIM) are intrinsic muscles of the hand located dorsally between metacarpal bones, which play a role in finger abduction. Anatomical variations of these muscles in terms of form and length have been well documented, but variations regarding sex and laterality are ...

Geriatr Gerontol Aging; 18 (), 2024
Objetivo: Objetiva-se avaliar a relação entre consumo de proteínas (CP), atividade física (AF) e massa muscular (MM) em indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais de idade. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo a partir da linha de base e segunda onda do estudo ELSA-Brasil. O CP foi avaliado por meio d...

Standing-Long-Jump Test Application in Identifying Female Adolescents at Risk of Sarcopenic Obesity

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: The identification of children and adolescents who are at risk of sarcopenic obesity development often requires specialized equipment and expensive test procedures. Therefore, the establishment of cheaper and faster methods would be greatly useful, especially if they could be applied in the fiel...

HSJ; 14 (), 2024
Objective: To analyze the muscle mass and cross-sectional area of the muscular fiber of the hemiparetic soleus in an animal model, in order to identify the muscular adaptations that occur in ischemic stroke.Method: Twelve Rattus norvegicus were divided into 2 groups: stroke group (n=6) and control group ...

The Accessory Muscular Head of the Triceps Brachii Muscle with Tendinous Attachment

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Variations in the triceps brachii muscle are uncommon, and especially limited reports exist on the accessory heads of tendinous origin that attach near the upper medial part of the humerus. During anatomical training at Nagasaki University School of Medicine, the accessory head of the triceps br...

Effect of Long-term Peripheral Nerve Stimulation on Neuro-Muscular Complex Morphologic Recovery in Experiment

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Peripheral nerve injury is an extremely important medical and socio-economic problem. It is far from a solution, despite on rapid development of technologies. To study the effect of long-term electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves, we used a domestically produced electrical stimulation syst...
