An ultrasound of one's thigh or shoulder muscle could help detect insulin resistance, a stage that often precedes prediabetes, a study suggests. Ultrasounds of muscles of 25 patients -- who were ...

DOI: 10.1002/jum.16741 A simple ultrasound of a patient's thigh or shoulder muscle may detect insulin resistance before it progresses to type 2 diabetes or even prediabetes.

The most common form is congenital muscular torticollis. It is characterized by the shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), a muscle that bends and turns the neck. Theories for the cause ...

A person with sternocleidomastoid pain might notice trigger points along the side or front of the neck. Frequently, pain from this muscle radiates elsewhere, causing ear, eye, or sinus pain.

For each of these species, they manually segmented and reconstructed in three dimensions the skeletal structures and muscle groups connecting the head to the trunk, derived from the somitic or ...

Neck muscle injuries can be painful and cause more than just pain. It's wise to look out for signs of problems with your neck muscles. You can get neck muscle injuries by not using them often ...

While fatigue in neck muscles has long been suspected of causing pain, the actual mechanical changes in the spine and muscles that precede weakness remain an outstanding question. Now, using high ...

Conventional ultrasound (Figure 1C) identified a well-defined slightly hyperechoic spindle-shaped lesion (measuring 40 mm × 17 mm × 9 mm) in the left sternocleidomastoid muscle with color Doppler ...
