Purpose: This study defines correlative and causal relationships between muscle strength and size before and after unilateral resistance training (RT) in a large cohort of healthy adults, focusing on sex differences within these relationships.
Methods: Results from 1233 participants (504 males and 729 females) in a retrospective analysis were included. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength (MVC), one-repetition maximum strength (1RM), biceps cross-sectional area (CSA) and elbow flexor volume (VOL) measures of the non-dominant and dominant arm were evaluated from baseline and after 12-wk RT twice per week.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant condition of lymphoid progenitor cells that primarily affects the pediatric population, but also adults. The 5-year survival rate is 90% in children and approximately 40% in adults, with survival increasing through the use of peripheral stem cell allotransplantation (SCT). The relapse rate after stem cell transplantation (SCT) in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients ranges from 35% to 45%, making relapse a major cause of death in this population.

Background: Sagittal spinal alignment is closely related to knee joint function, and sagittal malalignment can affect knee joint pain. This study investigated the association between knee joint pain intensity and sagittal spinal alignment in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 187 patients with knee osteoarthritis who were scheduled for primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from December 2021 to March 2023.
