Filter by:There is in humans, at the muscular level, a great interindividual variability in response to the same mechanical stress. This phenotypic variability is multifactorial, influenced by environmental factors as well as multiple genetic variants. Thus, for the same level of muscle damage, two subjects with the same anthropometric characteristic, the same age, with the same medical history and the same level of physical activity, will present a variable level of muscle regeneration underpinned by the biological function of muscular stem cells and their microenvironment. Thus, faced with the same training, some athletes will develop iterative muscular lesions and more disabling repair deficits than others without knowing the reason of this greater susceptibility. Indeed, the links between the genotype of the skeletal muscle fiber and its response to exercise, as well as the regulation of muscle mass are poorly understood. Yet, in young adults, up to 70% of the observed variability in muscle strength and size is hereditary. This heritability of muscle size and strength seems to be lower in older people, probably related to increased comorbidity. Numerous experiments with athletes subjected to the same resistance exercise training have identified good and bad hypertrophic skeletal muscle responders. However, genetic variants that contribute to skeletal muscle strength and mass are largely understudied while a growing body of evidence indicates that epigenetic effectors, which modulate gene expression, may contribute to human muscle response heterogeneity to the same mechanical stress. Thus, to date, no analysis of the role of the interaction between genetic and epigenetic factors involved in the muscle functional response to exercise exists. The main hypothesis is that the epigenetic status of muscle stem cells (satellite cells) is an important contributor in muscle mass response to exercise by modulating chromatin architecture. Thus this study will identify the epigenetic modifications induced by training and their interaction with the genetic factors involved in the response of the biological function of the satellite cells to this training and on the other hand, to be able to link it to a blood signature.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is empirically associated with the use of lateral approach but has been reported in litterature even with the use of posterior approach. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the risk of residual limping one year after total hip arthropasty between lateral and posterior approach.
A randomised placebo controlled, double-blind, 30 Volunteer trial of Elio™ administered 2.4 grams per day in assessing its effects on post-exercise strength recovery and increases in markers associated with muscle injury and exertion.
Assessment of safety and efficacy of NAM/B6 oral administration on the amplification and commitment of satellite cells after a muscle injury
In the present study, investigators investigated whether supplementation with lemon verbena extract (LVE) could improve muscle damage and biochemical indicators after exhaustive exercise challenge. Based on maximum jump heights, 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) were equally divided into a placebo group (0 mg/human/day) and an LVE supplement group (400 mg/human/day), with gender-equal distribution. All subjects started supplementation 10 days before exhaustive exercise and continued it until all tests were completed. Before the intervention, after the exhaustive exercise, and on the following 3 days, the participants underwent 12-minute Cooper running/walking; blood collection; assessments of pain, muscle stiffness, maximum jump heights, and isometric maximum muscle strength; and anaerobic strength tests.
The study aims to determine the efficacy of a controlled short-term trial of CBD ingestion for reducing symptomatic response and facilitating recovery following induced muscle injury. A double-blind, randomized, three-arm study design will be used and participants will be randomly assigned to either a high dose (n=15), low dose (n=15), or vehicle control group (n=15). The clinical outcomes include measures of muscular pain and disability along with measures of pain-related fear and anxiety.
This is a feasibility study to determine if the investigators can conduct a clinical trial with a sham and control soft tissue treatment. The primary research questions are can the investigators provide the treatments as specified, can they recruit a sufficient number of participants, and does ART® decrease pain and improve function in 20-50 year-old adults with subacute or chronic lower limb soft-tissue injuries compared to a sham treatment? This is a pre-post ART® pilot study with a control group that would receive a sham ART® treatment. The study group is 20-50 year-old adults with subacute or chronic lower limb soft tissue injuries.
Rectus re-approximation and periton closure are not the obligatory steps during cesarean section. These steps are due to surgeon's preference. However, there is lack of knowledge about the relation of rectus muscle re-approximation and adhesion formation. We are going to study the rectus muscle stiffness by share-wave elastosonography.
We present the case of a 24-year-old professional soccer player, with no personal history of interest, who came to the X-Ray diagnosis service due to severe pain in the right quadriceps muscle after a 10-month evolution of muscle rupture occurred during sports practice.
