Impact of Different Mechanical and Metabolic Stimuli on the Temporal Dynamics of Muscle Strength Adaptation.

Lambrianides, Y, Epro, G, Smith, K, Mileva, K, James, D, and Karamanidis, K. Impact of different mechanical and metabolic stimuli on the temporal dynamics of muscle strength adaptation. J Strength Cond Res 36(11): 3246-3255, 2022-A fundamental task in exercise physiology is to determine and ultimately improve the adaptations that take place in the human body, an integrated network of various physiological systems, for example, muscle, tendon, and bone.

Reliability and Accuracy of a Time-Efficient Method for the Assessment of Achilles Tendon Mechanical Properties by Ultrasonography.

The assessment of the force-length relationship under mechanical loading is widely used to evaluate the mechanical properties of tendons and to gain information about their adaptation, function, and injury. This study aimed to provide a time-efficient ultrasound method for assessing Achilles tendon mechanical properties. On two days, eleven healthy young non-active adults performed eight maximal voluntary isometric ankle plantarflexion contractions on a dynamometer with simultaneous ultrasonographic recording.

Pulsed dye laser therapy for viral warts.

Twenty-eight patients with 103 recalcitrant and 20 simple viral warts were treated with the Cynosure PhotoGenica V pulsed dye laser at 585 nm, and fluencies of 6.0-9.0 J/cm(2).

Orbital and globe rotation: the role of the periorbita.

We hypothesize that excyclorotation of the globe and extraocular muscle cone associated with external orbital rotation around each orbital axis in craniofacial conditions could be at least partially corrected by leaving the anterior periorbita (periosteum lining the orbit) attached to the surgically rotated portion of the orbit. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the degree of rotation of the globe in response to internal rotation of the anterior orbit, leaving the periorbita attached to the rotated portion of the orbit on one (study) side, and stripping the periorbita on the opposite (control) side, in nine fresh cadavers. There was a highly significant difference (P < 0.
