Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Phase-detection distributed fiber-optic vibration sensor without fading-noise based on time-gated digital OFDR.

Optics Express, 2017
For a distributed fiber-optic vibration sensor (DFVS), the vibration signal extracted from the phase of backscattering has a linear response to the applied vibration, and is more attractive than that from the intensity term.
