Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) has been employed in medicine (epilepsy, headaches, and
diabetes), where its effects are mainly attributed to a nitrogen alkaloid called piperidine (1-(1 …

Age-related skeletal muscle atrophy appears to be a muscle group-specific process, yet only
a few specific muscles have been investigated and our understanding in this area is limited …

Introduction Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) and re-injuries are endemic in high-speed
running sports. The biceps femoris long head (BFlh) is the most frequently injured muscle …

“Muscle tone” is a clinically important and widely used term and palpation is a crucial skill for
its diagnosis. However, the term is defined rather vaguely, and palpation is not measurable …

Background We investigated the potential of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)
stiffness measurements in skeletal muscles as an outcome measure, by determining its test …

Myositis has many etiologies, and it can be encountered in the acute or chronic setting. Our
goal is to increase the radiologist's knowledge of myositis and other urgent muscle disorders …

Abstract Knowledge of the mechanical properties of brain tissue in vivo is essential to
understanding the mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to creating …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique for determining the mechanical
response of soft materials using applied harmonic deformation of the material and a motion …

Objective. In vivo imaging assessments of skeletal muscle structure and function allow for
longitudinal quantification of tissue health. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) non …

Aim of study: Most sprained lateral ankle ligaments heal uneventfully, but in some cases the
ligament's elastic function is not restored, leading to chronic ankle instability. Ultrasound …
