Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Determination of left ventricular (LV) end-systolic elastance (Ees) is of utmost importance for assessing the cardiac systolic function and hemodynamical state in humans. Yet, the clinical use of Ees is not established due to the invasive nature and high

Interrelationship between contractility, protein synthesis and metabolism in mantle of juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) [PDF]
, 2019 Young juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) can grow at rates as high as 12% body weight per day. How the metabolic demands of such a massive growth rate impacts muscle performance that competes for ATP is unknown.

Discovery and Treatment of Action Potential‐Independent Myotonia in Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is characterized by attacks of transient weakness. A subset of hyperKPP patients suffers from transient involuntary contraction of muscle (myotonia). The goal of this study was to determine mechanisms causing myotonia in hyperKPP.

Force Measurements From Myofibril to Filament
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Contractility, the generation of force and movement by molecular motors, is the hallmark of all muscles, including striated muscle. Contractility can be studied at every level of organization from a whole animal to single molecules.

Decreased myocardial injury and improved contractility after administration of a peptide derived against the alpha-interacting domain of the L-type calcium channel. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundMyocardial infarction remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease. The L-type calcium channel (IC a-L) is critical to excitation and contraction.

Contractile Mechanisms in Flagella
Biophysical Journal, 1971 The elastic theory of flexural waves in thin rods accurately predicts the velocity of flagellar bending waves over a wide range of viscosities. This shows that flagella behave as a purely mechanical system for the transmission of these waves. An evaluation of the total bending moment reveals that this moment occurs in phase over the entire length of a ...

Requirements for contractility in disordered cytoskeletal bundles
, 2012 Actomyosin contractility is essential for biological force generation, and is well understood in highly organized structures such as striated muscle. Additionally, actomyosin bundles devoid of this organization are known to contract both in vivo and in ...

Underactive bladder - an underestimated entity [PDF]
, 2020 Introduction. The concept of underactive bladder is relatively new. Currently there is no generally accepted definition of this pathology. Diagnosis depends on urodynamic findings, and symptoms are usually rare and intricated with the symptoms of other ...
