The strength of the respiratory muscles can be evaluated from static measurements (maximal
inspiratory and expiratory pressures, MIP and MEP) or inferred from dynamic maneuvers (…

All of the most widely-cited studies for the prediction of maximum exercise responses have
utilized either volunteers or referred subjects. Therefore, selection bias, with overestimation of …

The objective of the present study was to compare anthropometry with bioelectrical impedance
(BIA) in relation to densitometry (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; DEXA) as methods of …

This study aimed to investigate the clinical usefulness of an anthropometrically based
method for estimating leg lean volume (LLV) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary …

Exercise critical power (CP) has been shown to represent the highest sustainable work rate (WR)
in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Parameter estimation, …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is currently considered a systemic disease, presenting
structural and metabolic alterations that can lead to skeletal muscle dysfunction. This …

Purpose Anthropometric (ANTHRO) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric (DEXA)
estimates of total body and leg fat-free masses (FFM) were obtained in 77 randomly selected …

Microglia are essential for CNS homeostasis and innate neuroimmune function, and play
important roles in neurodegeneration and brain aging. Here we present gene expression …

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and often fatal cancer, affecting ~1 person per
