Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2023 Padua Days of Muscle and Mobility Medicine (2023 PDM3), held from 29 March to 1 April 2023, was a meeting of scientists and clinicians from all over the world to share the state of the art in the development of rapid diagnostics in support of sustainable health in human and animal muscle or neuromuscular disorders. The event covered 40 hours of programming while allowing everyone worldwide to join freely for the ZOOM circulation of events from the Conference Halls of the Hotel Petrarca of the Thermae of Euganean Hills, Padua, Italy.
There were 13 Sessions during the 2023 PDM3:
- SESSION I: Adaptations to Physical Exercise in Aging: from Cell to Functioning;
- SESSION II: Skeletal Muscle Epigenetics and the Dark Side of the Genome;
- Session III: Adaptations in Aging: from Molecules to Functioning;
- Session IV: FES Managements of Acquired Muscle Diseases;
- SESSION V: Genetic Muscle Diseases;
- SESSION VI: Twenty Years of Italian Association of Myologists (AIM);
- SESSION VII: Senescence and Rejuvenation;
- Session VIII: Muscle Fascia, Biology and Pathology;
- SESSION IX: Non-invasive Assessments in Myology;
- SESSION X: Muscle Rehabilitation in Dentistry and Practical Course on Diagnosis and Functional Analysis of the Stomatognathic System;
- SESSION XI: LBI Workshop on Muscle Rehabilitation: from Mouse to Elderly;
- SESSION XII: AMB-REMOB: Results of an Early Outpatient Rehabilitation Program;
- SESSION XIII: European Medical Thermalism and the World Federation Hydrotherapy (FEMTEC).
More than 150 senior and young myologists attended invited lectures, seniors' oral presentations and young researchers’ short talks at the 2023 Padua Days of Muscle and Mobility Medicine.
I hope that many of them will submit their results, especially those relating to the diagnostic aspects of their research, to the 2023 and 2024 MDPI Diagnostics Special Issue on Biomarkers and Clinical Imaging for Diagnosis, Prevention and Management of Muscle Decay.
All accepted papers will soon be e-published and forwarded to PubMed.
