Running economy (RE), defined as the energy demand for a given velocity of submaximal running, has been identified as a critical factor of overall distance running performance. Plyometric and resistance trainings, performed ...

The comprehensive assessment of a psychiatric case requires evaluating the symptoms from a comprehensive perspective, without bias, and suspecting unlikely pathologies where appropriate. We emphasize this from a case of ...

Objective: Hand-held flexible poles which are brought into oscillation to cause alternating forces on trunk, are advocated as training devices that are supposed to solicit increased levels of stabilizing trunk muscle ...

One drawback of in vitro cell culturing is the dedifferentiation process that cells experience. Smooth muscle cells (SMC) also change molecularly and morphologically with long term culture. The main objective of this study ...

The congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous hereditary myopathies with preferentially autosomal recessive inheritance, that are characterized by congenital hypotonia, ...

Local anesthetics have myotoxic effects and inhibit Ca-ATPase activity and Ca transport in skeletal muscles. Such effects have not been fully elucidated in masticatory muscles. We tested the hypothesis that local anesthetics ...
