TL;DR: It is probably safe to counsel athletes with suspected myopathy to continue to undertake physical activity at a lower intensity, so as to prevent muscle damage from high intensity exercise and allow ample recovery to favour adequate recovery.

TL;DR: Total antioxidant status can be used to evaluate the level of stress in muscle by other markers, such as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, malondialdehyde, sulfhydril groups, reduced glutathione, oxidized glutathion, superoxide dismutase, catalase and others.

TL;DR: Serum total LDH and specific isozyme activities change with the training status of the athlete, and variation in LDH isozymes profile might have a role in studying muscle response to training.

TL;DR: Easy accessible guidelines on rotator cuff tears management could be considered as recommendations for a good clinical practice developed through a process of systematic review of the literature and expert opinion, in order to improve the quality of care and rationalize the use of resources.

TL;DR: ISMuLT, the "Italian Society of Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons", in line with its multidisciplinary mission, is proud to cover the gap in the scientific literature on muscle injuries.
