[Congenital ptosis associated with fatty infiltration of levator eyelid muscle].
PURPOSE To quantify the fat in the levator muscle of patients with congenital ptosis, as related to clinical and epidemiological aspects of this disease. METHODS Twenty-two levator muscle samples of the superior eyelid from patients with congenital ptosis were morphometrically evaluated with aim of establishing a relationship between the fat quantity and age, sex, ptosis degree and levator mu...
متن کاملShort‐term disuse promotes fatty acid infiltration into skeletal muscle
BACKGROUND Many physiological and/or pathological conditions lead to muscle deconditioning, a well-described phenomenon characterized by a loss of strength and muscle power mainly due to the loss of muscle mass. Fatty infiltrations, or intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), are currently well-recognized components of muscle deconditioning. Despite the fact that IMAT is present in healthy human sk...
متن کاملInvestigating the cellular origin of rotator cuff muscle fatty infiltration and fibrosis after injury.
BACKGROUND rotator cuff muscle atrophy, fibrosis and fatty infiltration are common complications after large and massive rotator cuff tears. Currently, there are no effective treatments for these muscle pathologies after injury. Furthermore, the cellular source for fibrotic and adipose tissues in rotator cuff muscle after injury remains unknown. In this study, we proposed that two groups of mus...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Atrophy and Fatty Infiltration after Massive Rotator Cuff Tears in a Novel Rat Model
INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are the most common tendon injury seen in orthopedic patients. Although small tears are amenable to arthroscopic repair, massive RCT repairs can result in re-tears and poor clinical outcomes. Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration in rotator cuff muscles are major complications of chronic massive RCT and are thought to be among the factors responsible for t...
متن کاملMuscle atrophy and fatty infiltration after an acute rotator cuff repair in a sheep model.
INTRODUCTION rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are the most common tendon injury seen in orthopedic patients. Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration of the muscle are crucial factors that dictate the outcome following rotator cuff surgery. Though less studied in humans, rotator cuff muscle fibrosis has been seen in animal models as well and may influence outcomes as well. The purpose of this study was t...
