The research objective was a morphological analysis of posttraumatic regeneration of musculoskeletal tissue in rats after experimental blast injury with field simulation of remote musculocutaneous injury of lower limbs. Wound process was evaluated visually and by histological characteristics of injury zones. This research helped to deepen understanding of details of regenerative process of blast musculocutaneous injury and formation of regenerating muscular and connective tissue of skeletal muscle in rats

Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a common and most severe type of Motor Neuron Disease. It is characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, wasting and fasciculations. Survival is for 3-5 years, and the death is from respiratory paralysis. The incidence of ALS is between 0.6 and 3.8 per 100000 persons per year. Males are predominantly affected. Here is a case report of 45yrs old male who presented with complaints of difficulty in walking since 3years, with an insidious asymmetric onset of weakness of bilateral lower limbs with wasting and fasciculations. In Ayurveda, the case was symptomatologically diagnosed as Mamsa Sosha, which occurs as the result of obstruction of Snayu and Rakthadhamanis (Mamsavaha srotomoolas). The assessment was done using ALSFRS-R Scale. The treatment was aimed at improving the quality of life and also decreasing the rate of disease progression. The treatment principle adopted was Srothosodhana (Ama- Avaranaghna cikitsa) and Brimhana. Promising results were obtained after treatment.

Abstract As slow gait speed is a major feature of frailty and a diagnostic criterion of sarcopenia, gait speed measurement is widely used. Nowadays, with development of wearable devices, it is possible to measure daily-life gait speed without additional effort just by wearing the device. It is meaningful to measure daily-life gait speed and to analyze the association between the speed and sarcopenia. Participants were men over 50 years of age who visited the university hospital. Daily-life gait speed was checked using a smart belt (WELT) for 4 weeks. Afterwards, a survey about past medical history, usual gait speed measurement, handgrip strength measurement, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry were performed. A total of 217,548 daily-life gait speed measurement data were analyzed for 106 participants. The mean daily-life gait speed was 1.23 ± 0.26 m/s. The mean age was 71.1 ± 7.6, and daily-life gait speed was significantly slower as people get older. (P<0.001) Additionally, weekday gait speed (1.23 ± 0.26 m/s) was significantly faster than weekend gait speed (1.22 ± 0.26 m/s). (P<0.001) Participants with sarcopenia (1.15 ± 0.25 m/s) had significantly slower mean daily-life gait speed than normal subjects (1.23 ± 0.26 m/s). (P<0.001) In analyzing factors related to gait speed, age and skeletal muscle mass of lower limbs were significantly associated with mean daily-life gait speed. Additional information about the gait speed can be obtained by measuring daily-life gait speed, and the daily-life gait speed has a significant association with the skeletal muscle mass of lower limbs.
