Background: Muscle fatigue has been known to influence brain activity, but very little is known about how cortical centers respond to muscle fatigue.Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of muscle contraction and fatigue induced by two different percents of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) on Electroencephalography (EEG) signals.Material and Methods: In t...

The potential effect of blocking the CCR5 receptor on HIV disease progression biomarkers is not well understood. We showed that an 8-day maraviroc (MVC) monotherapy clinical test (MCT) can be used in selecting patients to receive MVC-containing combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). Using this MCT model, we assessed the effect of MVC on several HIV disease progression biomarkers during the MCT...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of boceprevir (BOC) and telaprevir (TVR) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of maraviroc (MVC) in healthy volunteers. METHODS In this open-label, fixed-sequence study, 14 volunteers received MVC 150 mg twice daily alone for 5 days (period 1), followed by MVC + BOC 800 mg 3 times daily and MVC + TVR 750 mg 3 times daily, each for 10 days in periods 2 and 3, respecti...

Imaging and brain stimulation studies seem to correct the classical understanding of how networks, rather than contralateral focal areas, control generation unimanual voluntary force. However, scaling hemispheric-specificity network activation remain less understood. Using fMRI, we examined effects parametrically increasing right-handgrip force on functional connectivity among sensorimotor bila...

Subjects and methods The present pilot study is a case report on a single proband. Surface EMG (Noraxon) was recorded on one healthy subject during 3 resistive exercises using TheraBand (blue color). EMG activity during the agistic-excentric-exercises was analyzed on m. obliquus abdominis int., m. rectus abdominis, m. latissimus dorsi, m.erector spinae TH-L on the right and left side. The EMG a...
