Low muscle mass and malnutrition are prevalent conditions among adults of all ages, with
any body weight or body mass index, and with acute or chronic conditions, including COVID …

Purpose This narrative review provides an overview of the current knowledge of B-mode
ultrasound-derived echo intensity (EI) as an indicator of skeletal muscle quality. Method …

Nutritional ultrasound® is a new concept that uses ultrasound to assess body composition. It
is composed of the evaluation of fat-free mass and fat mass. It is an emerging, economical …

Purpose It has been proposed that skeletal muscle shows signs of resistance training (RT)-
induced muscle hypertrophy much earlier (ie,~ 3–4 weeks of RT) than previously thought …

Background: In critically ill patients, muscle atrophy is associated with long‐term disability
and mortality. Bedside ultrasound may quantify muscle mass, but it has not been validated in …

Aim The objective of this trial was to investigate the synergistic effects of bodyweight
resistance exercise and a protein supplement with vitamin D on skeletal muscle in …

Muscle quality (MQ), defined as the amount of strength and/or power per unit of muscle
mass, is a novel index of functional capacity that is increasingly relied upon as a critical …

Technological advances of hand-held ultrasound devices and educational programmes for
their use, such as point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) training, have contributed to the …

Background Sarcopenia is diagnosed on the basis of skeletal muscle mass and muscle
strength/function. However, more simple and accurate measures for muscle mass and …

Recently, interest in time-restricted feeding (TRF) has increased from reports highlighting
improvements in body composition and muscular performance measures. Twenty-six …
