El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la asimetría bilateral y comparar el índice de asimetría (IA) de las manifestaciones de la fuerza muscular de las extremidades inferiores. Participaron 16 hombres y 14 mujeres con una edad de 22.5 ± 2 años, todos ellos estudiantes universitarios, se les midió la fuerza muscular máxima dinámica, la fuerza máxima isométrica y la potencia muscular de cada extremidad inferior con la sentadilla unilateral. El IA presentado por los sujetos fue entre 2.8 ± 3.0 y 4.0 ± 4.3 % en las diferentes manifestaciones de la fuerza muscular, cuando se compararon dichas manifestaciones no hubo diferencia entre ellas. Por último las mujeres presentaron entre un 2.5 ± 2.7 y un 4.0 ± 4.1 % de IA de las manifestaciones de la fuerza mientras que para los hombres fue entre un 3.0 ± 3.4 y 5.0 ± 4.6 %, sin diferencia cuando se comparó por género. Por lo que se concluye que la asimetría bilateral de las manifestaciones de la fuerza está presente en los sujetos evaluados, siendo similar el IA de las manifestaciones evaluadas así como entre hombres y mujeres.Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine the bilateral asymmetry, and to compare the asymmetry index (AI) of muscle strength expressions in the lower limbs. A total 30 university students (16 men and 14 women) with a mean age of 22.5 ± 2 years participated in the study. Maximum dynamic muscle strength, maximum isometric strength, and muscle power in unilateral lower limb squat were assessed. The IA presented by the subjects ranged from 2.8 ± 3.0 and 4.0 ± 4.3 % in the different manifestations of muscle strength. The comparison of these manifestations revealed no differences. In addition, women scored between 2.5 ± 2.7 and 4.0 ± 4.1 % AI of expression of strength, whereas in men this value ranged between 3.0 ± 3.4 and 5.0 ± 4.6 %. No statistical difference was found comparing by gender. Therefore, we can conclude that there exists a bilateral asymmetry in the manifestations of strength in our sample, at the same time their IA is similar both considering the overall sample and assessing it by gender.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence, etiology and clinical significance of elevated troponin I in patients with acute upper or lower limb ischemia. The high sensitivity and specificity of cardiac troponin for the diagnosis of myocardial cell damage suggested a significant role for troponin in the patients investigated for this condition. The initial enthusiasm for the diagnostic potential of troponin was limited by the discovery that elevated cardiac troponin levels are also observed in conditions other than acute myocardial infarction, even conditions without obvious cardiac involvement. Patients and Methods: 71 consecutive patients participated in this study. 31 (44%) of them were men and mean age was 75.4 ± 10.3 years (range 44–92 years). 60 (85%) patients had acute lower limb ischemia and the remaining (11; 15%) had acute upper limb ischemia. Serial creatine kinase (CK), isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) and troponin I measurements were performed in all patients. Results: 33 (46%) patients had elevated peak troponin I (> 0.2 ng/ml) levels, all from the lower limb ischemia group (33/60 vs. 0/11 from the acute upper limb ischemia group; p = 0.04). Patients with lower limb ischemia had higher peak troponin I values than patients with upper limb ischemia (0.97 ± 2.3 [range 0.01–12.1] ng/ml vs. 0.04 ± 0.04 [0.01–0.14] ng/ml respectively; p = 0.003), higher peak CK values (2504 ± 7409 [range 42–45 940] U/ml vs. 340 ± 775 [range 34–2403] U/ml, p = 0.002, respectively, in the two groups) and peak CK-MB values (59.4 ± 84.5 [range 12–480] U/ml vs. 21.2 ± 9.1 [range 12–39] U/ml, respectively, in the two groups; p = 0.04). Peak cardiac troponin I levels were correlated with peak CK and CK-MB values. Conclusions: Patients with lower limb ischemia often have elevated troponin I without a primary cardiac source; this was not observed in patients presenting with acute upper limb ischemia. It is very important for these critically ill patients to focus on the main problem of acute limb ischemia and to attempt to treat the patient rather than the troponin elevation per se. Cardiac troponin elevation should not prevent physicians from providing immediate treatment for limb ischaemia to these patients, espescially when signs, symptoms and electrocardiographic findings preclude acute cardiac involvement.
