  2. 16. Effects of unloading on skeletal muscle mass and function in man

    Author : Hans Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atrophy; bedrest; concentric and isometric and eccentric muscle actions; disuse; electromyography; fatigue; fiber types and size; humans; inactivity; maximal voluntary force; recovery; skeletal muscle cross-sectional area; strength; suspension; tomog;

    Abstract : An experimental human model of skeletal muscle unloading of one lower limb and confined bedrest were employed to quantitate the adaptive responses to 10 days, 4 or 6 wk of unloading in healthy humans on quadricep skeletal muscle mass and function. Muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was assessed using tomographic imaging (CT, MRI). READ MORE

  4. 17. Traumatic patellar dislocation in childhood : late effects on knee function and cartilage quality

    Author : Eva Bengtsson Moström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and aim: Acute patellar dislocation affects approximately 1:1000 healthy children 9- 15 years of age, and up to 50% are at risk for recurrent dislocations. In adults the condition is associated with long-term complications, such as osteoarthritis and impairment of knee function. READ MORE

  5. 18. Effects of unloading and resistance exercise on skeletal muscle function, size and composition in man

    Author : Björn Alkner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atrophy; bed rest; confinement; countermeasure; electromyography; human; knee extensors; magnetic resonance imaging; microgravity; muscle function; myosin heavy chains; plantar flexors; resistance exercise; skeletal muscle; spaceflight; strength; training specificity; unloading;

    Abstract : Exposure to microgravity, i.e., spaceflight, causes muscle unloading leading to muscle atrophy and dysfunction. Thus, there is a need for effective countermeasures to combat these effects. READ MORE

  6. 19. Effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on human skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance training

    Author : Mats Lilja; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Previous studies in young adults suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may impair early skeletal muscle responses to exercise. Whether chronic use of NSAIDs affects skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance training in young adults remains uncertain. READ MORE

  7. 20. Markers of tissue ischaemia in lower limb arterial insufficiency : an experimental and clinical study

    Author : Göran Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Limb ischaemia; diagnosis; metabolism; skeletal muscle; subcutaneous adipose tissue; microdialysis; muscle biopsy; lactate; perfusion; lower body positive pressure; human; rat; ;

    Abstract : Lower limb ischaemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene are late consequences of advanced peripheral arterial disease, one of the facets of systemic atherosclerosis. The majority of patients will meet current criteria for critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Life expectancy in these patients is severely limited mainly due to coexisting coronary heart disease. READ MORE
