Are characteristics of muscle fiber type predictive of skeletal muscle mass and strength in elderly men?
Skeletal muscle mass and strength in elderly men are positively correlated with muscle fiber type-specific CSA, myonuclear content, and SC content. These findings support the assumption that a decline in SC content plays an important role in age-related decline in muscle mass and strength.
We found continuous PB infusion to be an effective sedative for children when other drugs fail. However, we observed a high rate of clinically significant complications requiring discontinuation of the drug.
