Knee position affects medial gastrocnemius and soleus activation during dynamic plantarflexion: no evidence for an inter-muscle compensation in healthy young adults.

Knee joint position influences ankle torque, but it is unclear whether the soleus compensates to counteract the reductions in gastrocnemius output during knee-flexed versus knee-extended plantarflexions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of knee joint position and plantarflexion contraction velocity on ankle plantarflexion torque and electromyography activity of the medial gastrocnemius and soleus in healthy young adults. Healthy male participants (n=30) performed concentric plantar flexions in a custom-built dynamometer from 15° dorsiflexion to 30° plantarflexion at gradually increasing velocities during each contraction at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 210° s-1 in a supine position with the knee fully extended and while kneeling with the knee fixed in 90° flexion.

Article Synopsis
- HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (HIV-KS) is a tumor linked to HHV-8 infection, typically treatable with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and chemotherapy, though some cases resist treatment.
- A 58-year-old man with refractory HIV-KS faced complications after chemotherapy, which caused painful lesions that affected his ability to walk.
- Localized radiotherapy was used to treat his condition after ruling out metastases, leading to significant improvements in both appearance and mobility, suggesting a promising alternative for patients not responding to standard treatments.

Article Synopsis
- Classic Kaposi sarcoma (CKS) mainly affects older men, especially those of Mediterranean and Ashkenazi descent, presenting as skin lesions on the lower body.
- Treatment options for CKS include radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, cryosurgery, and immunotherapy, depending on the specific disease manifestations.
- The case study focuses on an 83-year-old man with CKS who developed painful and painless skin lesions, illustrating the complexities involved in diagnosing and managing this condition.

Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has multiple clinical variants, and most frequently presents on the lower extremities. Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy has significantly reduced the incidence of KS. However, KS is still prevalent in both HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients.
