background: this study investigated the effects of lignosus rhinocerotis (lrs) supplementation and resistance training (rt) on isokinetic muscular strength and power, anaerobic and aerobic fitness, and immune parameters in young males. methods: participants were randomly assigned to four groups: control (c), lrs, rt, and combined rt-lrs (rt-lrs). participants in the lrs and rt-lrs groups consum...

This chapter places emphasis on patients with more weakness in proximal than distal parts. The most common type of proximal muscular dystrophy is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Due to rapid deterioration, DMD can be seen as a severe form of muscular dystrophy. Other types of proximal muscular dystrophies have a slower rate of disease progression compared to DMD, such as Beck muscular dystro...

objective ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy is a rather severe type of congenital muscular dystrophy with early onset features related to motor development. in general it is inherited in autosomal recessive principles, however in the western world mostly seen with de novo dominant mutations in the collagen vi genes. milder form of the condition is the bethlem myopathy. there may be overlap ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...

facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (fshd) is a common inherited muscular dystrophy presented clinically with slowly progressive weakness and wasting of facial and limb muscles and rare bulbar muscle involvement. we present herein a 70-year-old man who was a known case of fshd with complaint of 15-day history of progressive difficulty in chewing and dysarthria and was found to have myastheni...

The possibility of calculating muscular forces and momentums and their influence on skeleton was evaluated in this study by means of computerized tomography performed on a living person. Through this, the surface and corrected surface for each muscle cross section area were obtained, the distance from muscular centroide to the neutral bone axis was measured, and muscular force and muscular mome...

s-j syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of short stature, blepharophimosis, puckerd mouth, myotonia, muscular weakness, pectus carinatum and stiff joints. case report: first case: n.1. a boy aged 7 years. his main abnormalities included puckered lip, blephharophimosis, muscular hypertrophy and weakness, pectus carinatum, short stature, shoulder joint limitation and myopia. myotonic ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of external intervention factor (types of music) on physical fitness factors in adolescent boys. 30 adolescent boys (9-12 years old, msd height, weight and bmi: 133.82.40 cm, 35.62.97 kg, and 19.91.21 kg/cm2), were selected and performed the tests in three stages (fast music, slow music, control) with counter balance method. in each stage, the...
