The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the paretic upper limb in post-stroke patients with spastic hemiparesis and to understand the potential of PBM as a long-term non-invasive therapy for reducing the side effects caused by spasticity in the hemiparetic upper limb after a stroke. This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial constituted of 27 participants, being Control group (CG = 12 healthy individuals) and PBM group (PBMG = 15 post-stroke individuals)...

Snapping triceps syndrome is a rare cause of medial elbow pain and ulnar neuritis caused by subluxation and triggering of the medial tricipital muscle belly over the medial distal humeral ridge and condyle. The diagnosis and surgical management of snapping triceps syndrome can be challenging due to the subtlety of the symptoms and the infrequent presentation. Despite the diagnosis relying largely on clinical examination, noninvasive dynamic ultrasonography may facilitate detection. Correct recognition of this condition is crucial in the avoidance of surgical misadventure and revision surgery...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to develop a novel wearable surface electromyograph called NOK, and compare its reliability and validity to an existing electromyograph. [Participants and Methods] The study participants were 23 healthy university students (Seven males and 16 females; age 20.3 ± 1.1 years [mean ± standard deviation]; height 162.0 ± 6.7 cm; weight 58.4 ± 10.1 kg) who all gave informed written consent. The newly developed electromyograph (NOK) features a rubberized skin contact surface that requires no electrodes and allows the acquisition of up to 10 channels of muscle waveforms on a portable personal computer...

AIM: To explore the effect of photobiomodulation on quadriceps strength and endurance torques in asymptomatic adults. METHODS: Twenty-eight asymptomatic adults were randomized to one of two interventions: photobiomodulation (n = 14) or sham (n = 14). Quadriceps strength was evaluated by maximum voluntary isometric contraction test (60°) and endurance by an elastic resistance in multiple-set knee extension/flexion repetitions using a traction dynamometer...

BACKGROUND: While there is growing evidence on the role of preconception nutrition for birth outcomes, limited evidence exists for its effects on maternal health. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the impact of preconception micronutrient supplementation on maternal body mass index (BMI) and composition at 6-7 y post-partum (PP). METHODS: We followed women who participated in a randomized controlled trial of preconception supplementation in Vietnam and delivered live offspring (n=1599)...

The effects of IT and R.I.C.E. treatment on arm muscle performance in overhead athletes with elbow pain (EP) have been partially validated. However, there is a lack of research evidence regarding the efficacy of these two methods on arm muscle performance among swimmers with EP. The aim of this study was to investigate the trends and differences in the effects of IT and R.I.C.E. treatment on arm muscle performance among swimmers with EP. The main outcomes were the time effects and group effects of interventions on muscle voluntary contraction (MVC)...

BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic organic chemicals with potential endocrine-disrupting effects, and have been found to impair the physical growth of offspring in both experimental and epidemiological studies. We aimed to investigate the effects of prenatal PFAS exposure on repeated measurements of multiple anthropometric indicators in infants. METHOD: PFAS were measured in serum samples collected from pregnant women at 12-16 gestational weeks...

BACKGROUND: The reduction of muscular hypertonia is important in the treatment of various diseases or rehabilitation. This study aims to test the efficacy of a 5 Hz mechanical muscle stimulation (tapotement massage) in comparison to a 5 Hz repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on the neuromuscular reflex response.

Background: Early-life factors such as preterm birth or very low birthweight (VLBW) are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. However, it remains unknown whether this is due to an increased risk of obesity (unhealthy central adiposity) because studies have predominantly defined obesity based on BMI, an imprecise adiposity measure. Objective: Investigate if adolescents born preterm with VLBW have a higher risk of unhealthy central adiposity compared to term-born peers. Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis of data from a prospective cohort study of 177 individuals born preterm with VLBW (<1500 g) and 51 term-born peers (birthweight ≥2500 g)...

The epidemiological picture of Taenia saginata infections in Kenya is fragmented with limited available data. Although Sarcocystis species are significant meat-borne parasites, few studies have explored their occurrence in Kenya. This study aimed to estimate the occurrence of bovine cysticercosis and screen for the presence of Sarcocystis spp. A meat inspection-based survey was conducted in ten abattoirs in Narok County, Kenya, and inspection for T. saginata cysticerci was limited to the Triceps brachii muscle...

Power assistance on joint torque may not be beneficial to all the related muscles. We investigated the effects of power assistance on torque release during isokinetic elbow flexion. An isokinetic dynamometer system was used to simulate dynamic elbow flexion with power assistance, which altered the exercise conditions of baseline isometric torque (greater and lower) and rotation speed (faster and slower) of the lever arm. Ten male right-handed participants performed exercise tasks using the system. We measured (1) the electromyogram (EMG) amplitudes of the biceps brachii (BB), brachioradialis (BR), and triceps brachii (TB) muscles, (2) torque output and its variability, and (3) the perceived assistance level...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of neonatal cholestasis, negatively affecting nutritional status, growth, and development. It is the most frequent paediatric indication for liver transplantation. The Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) operation is an effective procedure with favourable outcomes when performed before two months of age. The present study aimed to assess the nutritional status of patients with biliary atresia who underwent the Kasai operation and to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional counselling using medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) formulas and proper supplementation on their nutritional status, growth, and vitamin D levels...

OBJECTIVE: Brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) is often caused by traction during birth. In some cases, reinnervation occurs during spontaneous recovery and it causes involuntary co-contraction between antagonistic muscles. When it comes up between the biceps and triceps muscles, smooth active motion of the elbow joint is impaired. We are presenting outcomes of intercostal nerve (ICN) to radial nerve transfer to minimize elbow motion abnormality due to co-contraction. METHODS: We present five cases (two males and three females) of biceps and triceps co-contraction in BPBP patients treated from 2005 to 2018...

BACKGROUND: Globally, the oldest old population is expected to triple by 2050. Hospitalization and malnutrition can result in progressive functional decline in older adults. Minimizing the impact of hospitalization on functional status in older adults has the potential to maintain independence, reduce health and social care costs, and maximize years in a healthy state. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to identify nutritional interventions that target physical function, body composition, and cognition in the older population (≥ 75 years)...

Tamandua mexicana is an anteater species native from Mexico to Peru. This species is of great evolutionary interest because it belongs to one of the oldest clades of placental mammals in the American continent. This study aimed to describe the origin, insertion, and arterial supply of the intrinsic shoulder and brachial muscles of T. mexicana. We also compared the masses of the functional groups. Gross dissections were performed on both thoracic limbs of 13 cadavers. ANOVA followed by Tukey's test was used for statistical analyses...
