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.

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Recent Trends in Electrical Stimulation Therapy.

Journal of exercise physiology, 1994
1991年から1993年までの3年間における国内の理学療法士の論文，学会発表と，同時期のPhysical Therapy誌における論文の比較から，電気刺激療法に関する最近の傾向と問題点を探った。国内の学会では，筋力増強のための電気刺激療法，Physical Therapy誌では，創傷・潰瘍治癒，浮腫抑制のための電気刺激療法に関するものが多くみられた。また，Physlcal Therapy誌では動物を対象とした基礎的研究に関する論文がみられるのも特徴的であった。これらのことから，従来より指摘されている，より基礎的な研究による作用メカニズムの解明が必要なことが改めて示唆された。
