Article Synopsis
- This study used muscle functional MRI to analyze changes in hamstring muscle activation during a football match by measuring T2 relaxation times before and after the game.
- Eleven healthy football players participated, with T2 measurements taken at different muscle portions (proximal, middle, and distal).
- The results showed a significant increase in T2 values for the semitendinosus muscle, particularly in the middle and distal sections, highlighting the potential of this imaging technique for identifying muscle activation patterns and helping prevent injuries.

Objectives: There are doubts about the age limit for lung donors and the ideal donor has traditionally been considered to be one younger than 55 years. The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes in lung transplantation between organs from donors older and younger than 60 years.
Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study comparing the group of patients receiving organs from donors 60 years or older (Group A) or younger than 60 years (Group B) between January 2007 and December 2011.
