Wasn’t sure how to word the title but was hoping to get some tips. I’ve been doing a few c-arm cases for caudal injections and when I go to lateral, I’m getting a lot of white from the area without density of course. How do you correct this? It’s so bright that the dr can barely see the needle. I’ve had success with patients with a bigger rear end but when they are thin i just get so much white in the image

Hey, I’m new to lateral raises and it’s extremely difficult to do them two arms at once, even though the weight is very light. Will I still benefit from doing one arm at a time or is that incorrect?

The article mentions the paradoxical effect of higher intramuscular fat because it goes up in both T2D and athletes. We know this is part of the glucose sparing effect. But there is also intermuscular fat and this is where a difference can be noted between active insulin sensitive individuals and inactive insulin resistant individuals.

Abstract

Muscle’s structural composition is an important factor underlying muscle strength and physical function in older adults. There is an increasing amount of research to support the clear disassociation between the loss of muscle lean tissue mass and strength with aging. This disassociation implies that factors in addition to lean muscle mass are responsible for the decreases in strength and function seen with aging. Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a significant predictor of both muscle function and mobility function in older adults and across a wide variety of comorbid conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and COPD. IMAT is also implicated in metabolic dysfunction such as insulin resistance. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide a review of the implications of increased IMAT levels in metabolic, muscle, and mobility function. Potential treatment options to mitigate increasing levels of IMAT will also be discussed.
