In vitro muscle contraction: A technical review on electrical pulse stimulation in C2C12 cells

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of skeletal muscle cells is increasingly used to model exercise In vitro. The murine C2C12 myotube system has become a common platform for such studies, yet wide variability in EPS protocols hampers reproducibility and cross‐study comparisons.

Frequency responses of human magnetophosphene perception thresholds during dark adaptation point to rod modulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Magnetophosphenes are flickering lights perceived when an extremely low frequency magnetic field generates a sufficiently strong electric field in the head. Understanding how phosphenes are produced is crucial, as they form the basis for international safety standards and guidelines for both workers and the general population.

Effects of Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation in Patients With Fecal Incontinence: A Systematic Review

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fecal incontinence (FI) is a condition characterized by the involuntary loss of stool, resulting from the inability to control the sphincter and neuromuscular mechanisms responsible for continence. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve (posterior tibial nerve stimulation—PTNS) has been used ...
