Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) has been demanded for the assessment of appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) in clinical and epidemiological settings. This study aimed to validate BIA equations for predicting ASM in the standing and supine positions; externally to cross-validate the new and published and built-in BIA equations for group and individual predictive accuracy; and to assess the overall agreement between the measured and predicted ASM index as sarcopenia diagnosis. In total, 199 healthy older adults completed the measurements of multifrequency BIA (InBody770 and InBodyS10) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multiple regression analysis was used to validate the new multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) prediction equations. Each MF-BIA equation in the standing and supine position developed in the entire group included height/resistance, sex, and reactance as predictors ( = 92.7% and 92.8%, SEE = 1.02 kg and 1.01 kg ASM for the standing and supine MF-BIA). The new MF-BIA equations had a specificity positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 85% or more except for a sensitivity of about 60.0%. The new standing and supine MF-BIA prediction equation are useful for epidemiological and field settings as well as a clinical diagnosis of sarcopenia. Future research is needed to improve the sensitivity of diagnosis of sarcopenia using MF-BIA.

: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that body positions substantially affected the mortality rate. We hypothesized that body position modulates the contribution of abdominal (AB) and thoracic breathing (TB) to the breathing cycle (BC), as well as respiratory rate (RR). In addition, we hypothesized that physical activity level can increase the contribution of abdominal breathing.

Purpose: Worsening sagittal alignment of the spine, particularly kyphosis, may cause difficulty in assuming a supine position, restricting sleeping posture and movement and potentially leading to sleep disturbances. However, no studies have explored the relationship between sagittal spinal alignment and sleep disturbance. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between sagittal spinal alignment and sleep disturbance.

Purpose: Achieving precise postoperative alignment is critical for the long-term success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Long-leg standing radiograph (LLR) at 6 weeks post-op is the gold standard for assessing alignment, but its reliance on weight-bearing and positioning makes it less practical in the early postoperative period. Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) offers a potential alternative.

Analysing the support mechanisms of the vaginal ring pessary on supine and upright MRI.

Vaginal pessaries have been used for millennia to alleviate symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Despite their long-standing use, the success rate of pessary treatment is approximately 60%, and the underlying mechanisms of support are not well understood. This study aims to investigate three previously proposed hypotheses regarding the support mechanisms of pessaries, utilizing supine and upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): (1) support by bony structures, (2) support by levator ani muscles (LAM), and (3) the uterus keeping the pessary in place by acting as a lever.
