Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in measuring the distance from the limbus to the insertion of primary and previously operated rectus muscles in children.
Methods: In this prospective, double masked, observational study the distance of the extraocular muscle insertion from the limbus measured by AS-OCT preoperatively was compared to intraoperative measurement using the surgical calipers. Consecutive patients 4-18 years of age undergoing primary or repeat strabismus surgery on horizontal or vertical rectus muscles between September 2013 and May 2014 were included. Patients with any condition that interfered with imaging were excluded. Participants were asked to look in the direction opposite to the muscle to ensure that the middle third of the muscle was being imaged and measured.
Results: A total of 65 muscles were evaluated, including 9 muscles undergoing reoperation and 10 vertical rectus muscles. Of these, 62 muscles were successfully imaged. In all reoperated eyes, the AS-OCT measurements were within 1 mm of the intraoperative measurements. Overall, 89.7% (95% CI, 78.8%-96.1%) of the measurements were within the 1 mm difference considered "clinically acceptable." The intraclass correlation coefficient comparing the reliability of the AS-OCT measurements with intraoperative measurements was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.53-0.85), or "good" agreement.
Conclusions: AS-OCT can accurately detect rectus muscle insertions in primary or previously operated cases in children as young as 4 years of age.

The adoption of robotic surgery has been widespread and increasing amongst gynecologic surgeons given the ability to decrease morbidity. It is important that plastic surgeons adjust their reconstructive algorithm to ascertain the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery. Herein we report our outcomes of robotic-assisted rectus abdominis muscle reconstruction of the posterior vaginal wall along with a current literature review on robotic-assisted reconstructive pelvic surgery.

Background: Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) and sarcopenia are prevalent conditions in gastrointestinal cancer patients, whose early diagnosis is essential to establish a nutritional treatment that contributes to optimizing adverse outcomes and improving prognosis. Phase angle (PhA) and rectus femoris ultrasound measurements are considered effort-independent markers of muscle wasting, which remains unrecognized in oncology patients.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the potential utility of PhA, rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RFCSA), and rectus femoris thickness (RF-Y-axis) in predicting malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients with esophagogastric cancer (EGC).

: The aim of this study is to determine whether different playing positions in football influence muscle asymmetry, which is a common cause of injuries in football. This study aimed to determine the difference in the functional and lateral asymmetry of the knee joint muscles measured using tensiomyography (TMG) between football players of different playing positions. : This study included 52 professional football players (25.

Background: Ankle sprains often result in muscle atrophy and reduced range of motion, which can cause long-term ankle instabilities. Understanding the changes to muscle-such as atrophy-and concomitant changes to deep fascia-which may thicken alongside muscle loss-after ankle sprain injury is important to understanding structural changes about the joint and how they might contribute to longer-term impairments. Here, we employ advanced MRI to investigate skeletal muscle and fascial structural changes during the recovery period of one patient undergoing immobilization after ankle sprains.
