: Diabetes patients' quality of life can be severely impacted by diabetic muscle atrophy.: This study aimed to explore the impact of high-intensity exercise (HIE) alongside insulin treatment on muscle atrophy in a rat model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).: Fifty rats were allocated into five groups; Group 1, control sedentary (CS), T1DM was elicited in the rest of the groups by giving them Streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg), where group 2 (DS) remained sedentary, while groups 3,4,5 were treated with insulin after induction of diabetes. Group 4 (DI+MIE) and 5 (DI+ HIE) underwent moderate and high-intensity exercise, respectively.: HIE for 14 days combined with insulin treatment significantly restored muscle strength and mass with a significant modification in the mitophagy-related proteins and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF 21) compared to other treated groups.: This study concluded that there is a therapeutic role for HIE with insulin against T1DM-induced muscle atrophy.

Background: Sarcopenia is closely associated with a poor quality of life and mortality, and its prevention and treatment represent a critical area of research. Resistance training is an effective treatment for older adults with sarcopenia. However, they often face challenges when receiving traditional rehabilitation treatments at hospitals.

Introduction/aims: Upper limb paralysis is arguably the most limiting consequence of cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI). There is limited knowledge regarding the early structural changes of muscles implicated in grasp/pinch function and upper extremity nerve transfer surgeries. We evaluated: (1) muscle size and echo intensity (EI) in subacute cSCI (2-6 months) and (2) the influence of lower motor neuron (LMN) damage on these ultrasound parameters.

Objective: Unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy (UBE) is an emerging and minimally invasive surgeryfor lumbar spinal degenerative disease. However, the efficacy, safety and the radiological changes of dural sac and paraspinal muscle of UBE compared with the conventional percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) remains to be determined. The purpose of the study was to comprehensively compare the clinical efficacy between UBE and PTED in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal degenerative disease.

Following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, quadriceps muscle atrophy persists despite rehabilitation, leading to loss of lower limb strength, osteoarthritis, poor knee joint health and reduced quality of life. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these deficits in hypertrophic adaptations within the quadriceps muscle following ACL injury and reconstruction are poorly understood. While resistance exercise training stimulates skeletal muscle hypertrophy, attenuation of these hypertrophic pathways can hinder rehabilitation following ACL injury and reconstruction, and ultimately lead to skeletal muscle atrophy that persists beyond ACL reconstruction, similar to disuse atrophy.

Sarcopenia and cancer cachexia are two life-threatening conditions often misdiagnosed. The skeletal muscle is one of the organs most adversely affected by these conditions, culminating in poor quality of life and premature mortality. In addition, it has been suggested that chemotherapeutic agents exacerbate cancer cachexia, as is the case of doxorubicin.
