Understanding the torque output behavior of paralyzed muscle has important implications for the use of functional neuromuscular electrical stimulation systems. Postfatigue potentiation is an augmentation of peak muscle torque during repetitive activation after a fatigue protocol. The purposes of this study were 1) to quantify postfatigue potentiation in the acutely and chronically paralyzed sol...

Many previous studies have focused on youth soccer player injuries without body component analysis compared to non-athletes. Only a few studies which have investigated body components of youth soccer players, and studies that look at electrical characteristics used by rheobase and chronaxie as well as body components are even scarcer. Therefore, we feel that there is a need for a study investig...

introduction: over the last decade, exposure to electromagnetic waves due to base station antennas has increased. this study was planned to evaluate the effects of different electrical field strengths with 950 mhz waves of the gsm mobile phone system on the excitatory postsynaptic potentiation (epsp) slope of the dentate gyrus long-term potentiation (ltp). material and methods: twenty four naiv...

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) induces electrical remodeling, which is thought to be responsible for the low success rate of antiarrhythmic treatment in AF of longer duration. Electrical remodeling seems to be related to tachycardia-induced intracellular calcium overload. Due to its vagomimetic action, digoxin is widely used to control the ventricular rate during AF, but it also increases ...

douala metropolitan city loated in the littoral province of cameroon,has experienced a rapid urbaniation and industralisation. the city depends heavily on groundwater as a resource. due to ubiquitous sources of pollution, groundwater quality and contamination has become an imprtant issue for this urban groundwater supply. this study uses the major ion chemistry of groundwater together with t...

Shapes and volume fractions (number and volume) of the red blood cells (RBCs) are important indicators for checking the patient cases. Microcytes, macrocytes, Elliptocytosis, oblate, and prolate are different RBCs shapes related to the blood diseases. The structure, the volume and the number of RBCs cell have direct effects on the electrical characteristics of RBCs. Many mathematical algorithms...
