Volume change and pressure development in muscle during contraction. 1967.-Volume changes recorded in isometric and isotonic twitches of gastrocnemius muscle are similar to those recorded in sartorius muscle. The major differences are the greater difficulty in approaching isometric recording conditions in the gastrocnemius muscle and the possibility that a portion of the volume change could be ...

Only a small number of muscle activation patterns from lower limbs have been reported and simultaneous several limb muscles not yet investigated. The purpose this study was to examine any gender differences in surface electromyography (EMG) activity six recorded the dominant at baseline (i.e., with foot placed flat on floor neutral position), during concentric eccentric phases when performing h...

Tenotomy of the rat gastrocnemius muscle is commonly employed as a model of accelerated protein breakdown or as a system in which to follow the hypertrophy of the ipsilateral plantaris or soleus muscles [l]. We have studied changes in the activities of cathepsins B and L in rat gastrocnemius muscle over the period following tenotomy when the muscle atrophies. Individually caged rats (160 g) wer...

T ueday, M arch 8, 2017 Fasciocutaneous flaps were favored for foot wounds (p<0.01), whereas muscle flaps were favored for tibial wounds (p<0.01), Gustilo grade IIIb injuries (p<0.01), and wounds with exposed hardware/bone/tendon (p=0.03). Intraoperatively, fasciocutaneous flaps were associated with lower estimated blood loss (p<0.01). Increasing 17-year trends were noted in the use of fasciocu...

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common phenomenon during the prolonged muscle disuse caused by cast immobilization, extended aging states, bed rest, space flight, or other factors. However, the cellular mechanisms of the atrophic process are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the expression of muscle-specific RING finger ...

We describe two cases of myofibrillar myopathies, due to different gene mutations. The first was a girl with cardiomyopathy and sensory axonal neuropathy that underwent cardiac transplantation at 15 years suffers from rotatory scoliosis BAG3 mutation. second is male patient, evident limb-girdle weakness since age 3. Two muscle biopsies were performed ages 3 15, MRI, LDB3 sequence analysis also ...

Neglected Achilles Tendon Ruptures are commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons. In cases resistant to conservative treatment, a variety of surgical procedures have been utilized in the past. The senior -surgeon at our institution has utilized a technique -employing two turndown fascia flaps fashioned from the proximal Achilles tendon augmented by a tenomyodesis of the flexor hallucis longus and p...
