Positive staircase effect in the rat heart.
The apparent lack of a positive staircase effect in ray myocardium may reflect inadequate metabolic support. Isolated rat hearts (n equals 10) were perfused at 37 degrees C with Krebs buffer containing 5 mM glucose. In 10 preparations increases in heart rate from 240 to 480/min resulted in twofold increases in left ventricular pressure and dP/dt. Pacing at a rate of 480/min resulted in mechanic...
متن کاملThe staircase phenomenon: implications for monitoring of neuromuscular transmission.
BACKGROUND Repeated indirect stimulation enhances the evoked mechanical response of muscle (the staircase phenomenon). There are few data that document the magnitude of this effect in man. Inexpensive acceleromyographic monitors of neuromuscular function are now available. If these units are to be used as scientific tools or clinical monitors, additional information regarding how to achieve pro...
متن کاملThe staircase phenomenon at the corrugator supercilii muscle in comparison with the hand muscles.
BACKGROUND Phonomyography (PMG) is a novel method to monitor neuromuscular block. It is non-invasive and can be applied to any muscle. It can be used interchangeably with mechanomyography (MMG). The staircase phenomenon has not been investigated for this method or at the corrugator supercilii muscle. The purpose of this work was to determine the staircase effect at three different muscles using...
متن کاملGeometry Ascending a Staircase
A large metal sculpture, consisting of four orbs, commissioned for the stairway atrium of the Fitzpatrick CIEMAS Engineering Building at Duke University embodies the important idea that Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Art are closely connected. Made from hundreds of pounds of powder-coated, laser-cut aluminum, with an underlying geometric design, it was assembled at a four-hou...
