Nerve conduction study

The major findings of this study are as follows: 1) the lowest stimulation frequency (1 Hz) most effectively increased energy expenditure in human paralyzed muscle, when normalized across a fixed number of stimulus pulses; 2) energy expenditure during electrical stimulation is not…

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disease that targets the neuromuscular junction resulting in impaired impulse transmission and skeletal muscle weakness. The muscular weakness may exacerbate during periods of activity while improving after periods of rest, occurring with various severities. Muscles that control the eyes, eyelids, facial expression, swallowing, and talking can also be affected. Symptoms are presented as drooping of the eyelids, called ptosis, blurred or double vision,…

Introduction: Planarians are free-living aquatic flatworms that posses remarkable regeneration abilities in addition to its distinct negative phototaxis behavior. A wealth of research studies has thoroughly examined its photophobic behavior under different wave frequencies and light conditions. Planarian are highly sensitive to white light and wavelengths of high frequencies, blue-green range ( Paskin TR, 2014). Two basic pigment-cup eyes situated in the head region govern its photophobic…

splinting and splinting plus local steroid injection in moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome; A Randomized control clinical Trial Introduction Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which defined as “a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist” is considered as the most common disabling neuromascular condition of the upper extremities(1,2). With an incidence rate of 276:100000 per year, it known as the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy, accounting for 90%…

4.4 Interpretations The data collected from this study are not strongly affected by convective fluid flow in the wellbores or surrounding strata. Rather, the geothermal gradient profiles show a more conductive thermal regime in the vicinity of the wells. Unfortunately, the wells are too shallow to make more significant observations of the deep thermal regime, but the high geothermal gradients in the Paliza Canyon and E10 wells show some promise of quantifying temperatures of a geothermal…

relationships, patterns or trends in your results? From our [processed] results, we can conclude that the polystyrene cup served as the least effective conductor of heat, the tin mug coming in at a close second. The most effective material for heat conduction was the plastic mug. At the beginning of the tests, all of the water in the cup declined in temperature at a steady, even rate, but once one minute had passed, they had all started to cool down at very different rates. The plastic trails…

react to the certain stimulus. The word neuropathy is defined as nerve damage and thus the nerves that could be referred to are motor, sensory or autonomic nerves. As a result, symptoms can range anywhere from numbness and tingling to paralysis or organ dysfunction depending on the type of nerves(s) that are damaged. Motor nerve damage can result in muscle damage or uncontrolled movements. Depending on the size of the sensory nerve that is damaged, patients may become over sensitive or even…

that the paralysis arose from the nerve sheath becoming thickened and compressed in stylomastoid foramen. The cold hypothesis, or paralysis e frigore, maintained that exposure to draughts produced the palsy. Exposure to cold or drafts considered as the primary cause of Bell's palsy. Cobb and Coggeshall38 hypothesized:-Edema of a nerve trunk may interrupt passage of the nerve impulses along axons, especially if the oedema happens to be a point at which the nerve is passing through a bony canal…

shock-like pains, abrupt in onset and termination, and limited to the distribution of one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve (Oberman, 2010). It is also known as “Tic Doloureux”. The exact cause of TN is still unclear, but the pain is triggered by several factors, such as eating, washing, shaving, cold, warmth, and draught (Van Kleef et al., 2009). According to studies and statistics, TN mostly affects people older than 50 years of age. The highest incidence occurs in the ages between 50…
