metastasis of gastroesphageal junction (gej) adenocarcinoma in skeletal muscle is rare and primary sites for skeletal muscle metastases are usually lung, renal and colorectal cancer. we have encountered with the first case report of solitary psoas muscle metastasis of gej adenocarcinoma. here we describe a 65 years old man was diagnosed with gej adenocarcinoma in tertiary hospital, tehran, iran...

Metastasis of gastroesphageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma in skeletal muscle is rare and primary sites for skeletal muscle metastases are usually lung, renal and colorectal cancer. We have encountered with the first case report of solitary psoas muscle metastasis of GEJ adenocarcinoma. Here we describe a 65 years old man was diagnosed with GEJ adenocarcinoma in tertiary hospital, Tehran, Iran...

it has been reported that cither lithium or verapamil can potentiate the neuromuscular blocking activity of certain neuromuscular blockers. in the present investigation, possible interaction of verapamil with lithium has been described. the dose ■ response effects of verapamil and lithium on diaphragmatic contractility were assessed in vitro. mechanical responses of the muscle to indirect (nerv...

objective(s): pregabalin (pgb) is a new antiepileptic drug that has received fda approval for patient who suffers from central neuropathic pain, partial seizures, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and sleep disorders. this study was undertaken to evaluate the possible adverse effects of pgb on the muscular system of mice. materials and methods: to evaluate the effect of pgb on skeletal...

intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all hemangiomas. typical presentation is a soft-tissue mass and/or pain without cutaneous changes. whereas calcification of hemangiomas is common; ossification of these lesions is very rare. we describe a case of ossified intramuscular hemangioma of quadriceps presented with painless knee extension contracture and thigh mass.

skeletal muscle is a highly differentiated tissue with very specific functions which has low potential of regeneration. skeletal muscle injuries especially in athletes almost have lead to muscular dysfunctions and healing may be prolonged for several years. therefore, working on skeletal muscle differentiation remained an importance in biomedical researches. adipose derived stem cells (adscs) a...

fasting induces short-term physiological adaptations which spare the body's remaining carbohydrate stores and mobilize lipid stores to provide a substitute fuel for many tissues and organs, especially skeletal muscle. rodent studies show that regular occurrence of fasting then refeeding, stimulates adaptations in muscle which make the animal better placed to withstand a further period of fastin...

BACKGROUND To compare the relationship of skeletal muscle mass with bone mineral content in an ethnically diverse group of 6 to 18 year old boys and girls. METHODS 175 healthy children (103 boys; 72 girls) had assessments of body mass, height, and Tanner stage. Whole body bone mineral content, non-bone lean body mass (nbLBM), skeletal muscle mass, and fat mass were assessed using dual-energy ...
