Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Clinical Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1002/ca.23344
Abstract: Vastus medialis (VM) has two partitions, longus (VML), and obliquus (VMO), which have been implicated in knee pathologies. However, muscle architecture of VMO and VML has not been documented volumetrically. The aims of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21676
Abstract: The jaw system in mammals is complex and different muscle morphotypes have been documented. Pigs are an interesting group of animals as they are omnivorous and have a bunodont crushing dentition. Moreover, they have interacted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2016.10.096
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Changes in muscle architecture after stroke are usually assessed by investigating inter-limb differences. As a result bilateral changes of muscle architecture might be missed. Our aim was to investigate whether bilateral architectural changes in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2019.110678
Abstract: BACKGROUND Muscle mass and strength decline are known to be key factors in the development of physical incapacities in later life. These structural and functional declines are even more significant in older people during hospitalizations,… read more here.
