Compositional and functional MRI of skeletal muscle: a review Body Composition

Compositional and functional MRI of skeletal muscle: a review

While some applications still require systematic clinical validation, quantitative MRI is now established as a comprehensive technique, that can be used to characterize a wide variety of structural and compositional changes in healthy and diseased skeletal muscle.
Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective Body Composition

Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective

Specifically, our review shows that the amount of SM measured with in vivo reference methods is variable depending on multiple factors, and hence, there is no single accepted ‘gold standard’ against which other in vivo methods are calibrated or validated.
Spirituality and Consciousness: An Emerging Vision for the Twenty-First Century Paradigm Shift

Spirituality and Consciousness: An Emerging Vision for the Twenty-First Century

How a path has opened up toward a radically different but still science-based picture of reality, one that takes consciousness as ontologically fundamental and celebrates human spiritual experiences and capacities.
Exploring the Science of Shape: How Physical Activity, Sleep, and Stress Affect Body Composition Lifestyle

Exploring the Science of Shape: How Physical Activity, Sleep, and Stress Affect Body Composition

Body composition is inherently influenced by various factors, with physical activity, sleep, and stress being among those most amenable to individual regulation. These factors represent modifiable determinants that individuals can actively manage.
