Researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have found a way to use artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose muscle wasting, called sarcopenia, in patients with head and neck cancer. AI provides a ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, a team of researchers from Germany analyzed skeletal muscle biopsies of patients with persistent fatigue and malaise post-exertion to ...

Muscular strength and its improvement are important to everyone for their regular day-to-day life activities. Conventionally, muscle function can be assessed by means of physical performance tests and ...

Understanding individual muscle strength is crucial for optimizing physical therapy and enhancing athletic performance. Traditional methods, however, often fall short in precision. The newly ...

The proposed muscle network analysis framework identifies a redundancy-to-synergy shift as a marker of stroke recovery, yielding new biomarkers that could objectively quantify functional impairment ...

AJR: use of the L1 vertebral level—typically included on both chest and abdominal CT examinations—rather than the L3 level expands the reach of opportunistic CT screening for sarcopenia “Automated ...

There are various ways to estimate muscle mass percentage. These include using medical equipment, calculating body fat percentage, and measuring certain areas of the body. Maintaining a healthy ...

Measurement of the phase angle (PhA) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be explored as a quick and non-invasive method to measure muscle activity and strength, especially useful in people ...
