There is a growing body of evidence to strongly support the use of labile surfaces in training and rehabilitating the neuro-musculo-skeletal system1. Most of this evidence supports the notion that labile surface exercises stimulate the activation of muscular contraction strategies originating from segmental and multi-segmental spinal reflexes and reactions. Local stabilization muscles primarily...

Whether you refer to the Epstein-Barr virus as Mononucleosis or as Glandular Fever, cases of mild to severe muscular weakness have been documented in the literature as a result of this illness. However, what has not been fully explored is the how certain foods may trigger neurochemical reactions in the neuro-muscular interface in some cases of those previously infected with the Epstein-Barr vir...

Since the discovery of the myogenic nature of the main flight-muscle rhythm in flies and some other insects (Pringle, 1949; Roeder, 1951) there has been wide agreement that the nervous command to individual motor units must be one in which the significant aspect of the temporal code is the average frequency of nerve impulses and not detail of sequential pattern or the phase of each impulse (Wil...

BACKGROUND Endocannabinoids (EC) and the cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor are involved in the regulation of motility in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms are not completely resolved. The purpose of this work was to study the physiological influence of the endocannabinoid anandamide, the putative endogenous CB1 active cannabinoid, and of the CB1 recept...

Background Mutations in proteins can have deleterious effects on a protein’s stability and function, which ultimately causes particular diseases. Genetically inherited muscular dystrophies include several genetic diseases, which cause increasing weakness in muscles and disability to perform muscular functions progressively. Different neuro-muscular diseases are caused by different types of muta...
