Article Synopsis
- * Patient symptoms included fever, headache, and hearing loss, with tests revealing infection indicators and abnormal brain lesions confirmed through advanced imaging techniques.
- * Rapid pathological diagnosis, including immunohistochemistry and PCR, played a vital role in distinguishing the cryptococcoma from a potential malignant tumor, leading to successful antifungal treatment.
Backgrounds: One-leg standing time (OLST) has been frequently used physical performance measure; however, what muscular characteristics OLST represents remains uncertain.
Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between OLST and muscle characteristics to clarify the possibility of using OLST as a physical performance measure.
Methods: Study participants comprised 1144 older adults aged 65 years or older.
