c-Map for Born–Infeld theories

Physics Letters B, 2016
The c-map of four dimensional non-linear theories of electromagnetism is considered both in the rigid case and in its coupling to gravity. In this way theories with antisymmetric tensors and scalars are obtained, and the three non-linear representations ...

Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic

The Differing Phenotypes of the Three Most Common Postsynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes Governed by Their Underlying Molecular Pathogenic Mechanisms

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The congenital myasthenic syndromes are rare disorders of impaired signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. Despite next generation sequencing facilitating the identification of variants in myasthenic‐associated genes, these variants are frequently of unknown significance and the clinical diagnosis can be delayed.

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

Contemporary analysis of phrenic nerve injuries following cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation: A single-centre experience with the systematic use of compound motor action potential monitoring.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundPhrenic nerve injury (PNI) remains one of the most frequent complications during cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation (CB-PVI). Since its introduction in 2013, the use of compound motor action potential (CMAP) for the prevention of PNI ...

Primary BPH Stromal Cell Cultures Exhibit Heightened Androgen‐Responsiveness

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common disease in aging males. BPH growth is androgen‐dependent, and it appears that androgens preferentially stimulate the growth of BPH as compared to normal prostate. The mechanism of preferential androgen stimulation of BPH growth is not clear.

Transcriptome Inference and Systematic Approaches to Investigate TCM Compounds With Beneficial Metabolic Effects

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds can improve obesity by increasing energy consumption. This study aimed to identify and verify TCM compounds that promote adipose thermogenesis to alleviate obesity via transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, network pharmacology, and ...

Acute nerve stretch and the compound motor action potential

Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury, 2011
In this paper, the acute changes in the compound motor action potential (CMAP) during mechanical stretch were studied in hamster sciatic nerve and compared to the changes that occur during compression.

Apigenin Protects Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Regulating Trx1 Through Binding to PRDX2

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most severe stroke subtype with high mortality and disability rates. Although apigenin has shown cerebroprotective potential in preclinical studies, its mechanism of action, particularly in hypertensive ICH, remains poorly understood.

Laponite Network Controls FGF‐2 Release and Drives Functional Nerve Regeneration via 3D‐Printed Nerve Wrap Interfaces

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We developed a 3D‐printed nerve interface integrating a biomimetic nanocomposite hydrogel with sustained delivery of thermostable FGF‐2. The bioactive interface supports Schwann cell activity and myelination while providing a regenerative microenvironment.
