2016年3月1日 · Bilateral Muscle Wasting: Temples • Look at patients straight on and have them turn their head from side to side • Inspect for “scooping” or hollowing of the temporal region • Such signs indicate wasting of the temporalis muscle Photo used with permission.

2019年10月10日 · Temporal wasting: The wasting of the temporal muscles and subcutaneous fat in the temporal region occurs with serious nutritional deficiencies and severe catabolism (meaning when muscle protein breakdown massively outpaces muscle protein synthesis).

Demonstrating good reliability in both TMT measurement techniques, and by evaluating factors potentially confounding the diagnostic accuracy, this study demonstrates the clinical feasibility and utility of temporalis muscle measurement to monitor muscle wasting in a neurocritical care setting.

In patients with bitemporal wasting of the muscles of the temples, MRI can reveal fatty degeneration of the temporalis muscle. You can also use bitemporal wasting to help make diagnoses of connective tissue disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or malnutrition.

Quantification of temporal muscle volume assessed on routine computed tomography (CT) scans may serve as a biomarker for muscle wasting in patients suffering from acute brain injury. This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

2024年3月1日 · The primary outcome was changes in temporal muscle dimensions between admission and follow-up two to five days later. Secondary outcomes included assessing the impact of temporal muscle atrophy on 30-day survival, as well as identifying any clinical factors associated with temporal muscle atrophy.

Aim: Temporal muscle wasting is subjectively evaluated during nutritional assessment of protein-energy malnutrition. However, a quantitative evaluation method has not been established.

2022年10月26日 · This study demonstrates the clinical feasibility and utility of ultrasound- and CT-based TMT measurements for the assessment of muscle wasting. Keywords: critical care; muscular atrophy; quadriceps muscle; sarcopenia; temporal muscle; ultrasonography.

Temporal wasting was visually evaluated by two examiners. Temporal muscle thickness was measured using ultrasonography. Nutritional status was evaluated by anthropometric measurements including body mass index, arm muscle circumference and calf circumferences.

2022年10月26日 · Temporalis muscle (TM) atrophy has emerged as a potential biomarker for muscle wasting. However, its diagnostic utility as a monitoring tool in intensive care remains uncertain. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of sequential ultrasound- and computed tomography (CT)-based measurements of TM thickness (TMT).
