Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy (MMH) is a well-known clinical benign condition that not gender-specific and it can be monolateral or bilateral. Botulinum Toxin type A (BoNTA) injection has been widely described for MMH treatment non-surgical facial slimming. BoNTA masseter injections have high efficacy safety profile, but the risks of side effects remain. Muscular bulging during mastication compli...

Skeletal muscle injury is common in body injuries suffered in sports and car accidents. Development of new tracers is significant for assessing muscular injury with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and monitoring repair of muscle injury in response to treatment. Copper is required for wound healing and increased copper ions were detected in the soft tissue of wound in r...

The incorporation of [2-3H]glycerol and lysolecithin labeled with [2-3H]glycerol into lecithin and its subspecies was investigated in epithelial and muscular layers of rat small intestine. The labeled compounds were administered in two wways: the intraduodenal injection and the injection into femoral vein. The incorporation of glycerol into lecithin was distinctly higher in epithelial layer tha...

PURPOSE To investigate the development of a laparoscopy technique for local injection into the X-linked muscular dystrophy (mdx) diaphragm. METHODS It was used 10 mice Balb/C57 and 5 mdx mice and three differents decubitus type were tested: the right lateral, supine, and supine decubitus with 20 degrees elevation of the forelimb. Abdominal caudal face and the 10 intercostal space were tested ...

Blood flow was measured with the electromagnetic flowmeter in the saphenous artery bed (cutaneous) and in the distal femoral and popliteal beds (muscle). The effects of ischemia and of intraurterial injection with methacholine, 1-epinephrine and 1-norepinephrine were studied before and again after each injection of progressively increased doses of antiadrenergic drugs. These studies indicate a ...

this study determines the value of linkage analysis using six rflp markers for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in familial dmd/bmd cases and their family members for the first time in the iranian population. we studied the dystrophin gene in 33 unrelated patients with clinical diagnosis of dmd or bmd. subsequently, we determined the rate of heterozygosity for six intragenic rflp marker...

RATIONALE We report a case of acute steroid myopathy in a patient with eczema receiving one dose of intra-muscular injection of Compound betamethasone. PATIENT CONCERNS Acute steroid myopathy (ASM) is usually caused by exogenous corticosteroids, and typically, occurs with therapy using intravenous corticosteroids at high doses. DIAGNOSES The patient was considered as a diagnosis of acute st...

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases, with the majority of OA related changes being observed in the medial tibiofemoral compartment. Biomechanical changes in gait have been observed in patients with medial compartment knee OA (MC-KOA). In particular, the external knee adduction moment (KAM) has been linked with the presence, severity and progression of MC-KOA [1, 2]...
