The radiological assessment of muscle properties—size, mass, density (also termed
radiodensity), composition, and adipose tissue infiltration—is fundamental in muscle …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces muscle wasting that is especially severe after complete
and permanent damage of lower motor neurons, as can occur in complete conus and cauda …

The manual muscle test (MMT) is a flexible diagnostic tool, which is used in many
disciplines, applied in several ways. The main problem is the subjectivity of the test. The …

Objectives: Long-term lower motor neuron denervation of skeletal muscle is known to result
in degeneration of muscle with replacement by adipose and fibrotic tissues. However, long …

Sarcopenic muscular degeneration has been consistently identified as an independent risk
factor for mortality in aging populations. Recent investigations have realized the quantitative …

Sarcopenia, which is characterized by decline in muscle mass, muscle strength, and
physical performance, is common in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and is …

The olfactomotor system is especially investigated by examining the sniffing in reaction to
olfactory stimuli. The motor output of respiratory-independent muscles was seldomly …

Objective This article describes a first attempt to generate a standardized and safe selective
surface electrostimulation (SES) protocol, including detailed instructions on electrode …

Background and Objectives: Sarcopenia is a recognized prognostic factor for both
complications and survival in cancer patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship …

Histochemistry, immuno-histochemistry, gel electrophoresis of single muscle fibers and
electromyography of aging muscles and nerves suggest that: i) denervation contributes to …
