Muscle wasting in intensive care patients: ultrasound observation of the M. quadriceps femoris muscle layer.
Wolfgang Gruther,Thomas Benesch,Carina Zorn,Tatjana Paternostro-Sluga,Michael Quittan,Veronika Fialka-Moser,Christian Spiss,Franz Kainberger,Richard Crevenna +8 more
TL;DR: Loss of muscle mass shows a negative correlation with length of stay, and seems to be higher during the first 2-3 weeks of immobilization/intensive care unit stay, while Ultrasound is a valid and practical measurement tool for documenting muscle mass as part of the daily routine at an intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term High-Level Exercise Promotes Muscle Reinnervation With Age
Simone Mosole,Ugo Carraro,Helmut Kern,Stefan Loefler,Hannah Fruhmann,Michael Vogelauer,Samantha Burggraf,Winfried Mayr,Matthias Krenn,Tatjana Paternostro-Sluga,Dušan Hamar,Jan Cvecka,Milan Sedliak,Veronika Tirpakova,Nejc Šarabon,Antonio Musarò,Marco Sandri,Feliciano Protasi,Alessandra Nori,Amber Pond,Sandra Zampieri +20 more
TL;DR: The data show that long-term physical activity promotes reinnervation of muscle fibers and suggest that decades of high-level exercise allow the body to adapt to age-related denervation by saving otherwise lost muscle fibers through selective recruitment to slow motor units.
