Muscle stiffness as a cause of reduced muscle volume - a reliability study
(2014-12)A leading cause of impairment in elderly individuals is sarcopenia, the progressive deterioration of muscle size and strength, which ultimately limits muscle functionality. The loss of muscular strength is directly correlated ... -
Muscle Work Discrepancy during Incline and Decline Running at Three Speeds
(East Carolina University, 2009)Introduction: Previous research has explored muscle function during gait and this work has shown that more positive mechanical muscle work is produced in gait tasks that primarily raise the center of mass (incline gait ... -
Muscle work is biased toward energy generation over dissipation in non-level running
(East Carolina University, 2008-12-05)This study tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscles generate more mechanical energy in gait tasks that raise the center of mass compared to the mechanical energy they dissipate in gait tasks that lower the center of ... -
Muscles do more positive than negative work in human locomotion
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)Muscle work during level walking and ascent and descent ramp and stairway walking was assessed in order to explore the proposition that muscles perform more positive than negative work during these locomotion tasks. Thirty ... -
Musculoskeletal Disorders in Perioperative Personnel and Related Factors
(East Carolina University, 2021-11-29)Background: The nursing profession is physically demanding with increased rates of occupational injuries. Operating room nurses (ORNs) experience rates of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) between 66.1% to 92.5%. Surgical ... -

Mutations and deregulation of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mtor cascades which alter therapy response
(2012-09-20)The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR cascades are often activated by genetic alterations in upstream signaling molecules such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Certain components of these pathways, RAS, NF1, BRAF, ... -
