This paper presents examples of hysteresis from a broad range of scientific disciplines and demonstrates a variety of forms including clockwise, counterclockwise, butterfly, pinched and kiss-and-go, respectively. These examples include mechanical systems made up of springs and dampers which have been the main components of muscle models for nearly one

Muscle ultrasound in hereditary muscle disease [PDF]
In this review we summarise the key techniques of muscle ultrasound as they apply to hereditary muscle disease. We review the diagnostic utility of muscle ultrasound including its role in guiding electromyography and muscle biopsy sampling. We summarize the different patterns of sonographic muscle involvement in the major categories of genetic muscle ...

Selective Cricothyroid Muscle Reinnervation by Muscle-Nerve-Muscle Neurotization [PDF]
To determine if selective reinnervation of the cricothyroid muscle could be achieved with muscle-nerve-muscle neurotization.Case series.Tertiary referral center.Three consecutive patients with high vagal lesions that resulted in unilateral laryngeal paralysis.Patients underwent laryngeal reinnervation with ansa hypoglossi to recurrent laryngeal nerve ...

Muscle versus Snail: Muscle wins [PDF]
Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are often governed by the transcription factor Snail and entail the loss of apical junctions from epithelial cells. In this issue, Weng and Wieschaus (2016. J Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508056) report that actomyosin contractility can strengthen junctions to override Snail-dependent junctional ...

Muscle Spindles in Phasic and Tonic Muscle
Comparisons were made of muscle spindle structure between phasic and tonic muscles stained by the gold chloride method. The most significant difference was in the ring diameter of the sensory nerve terminals wrapped around the nuclear bags. In tibialis anterior it was largest, in gastrocnemius intermediate, and in soleus smallest.

Muscle spindles of the rat sternomastoid muscle
The sternomastoid (SM) muscle in rodents presents a peculiar distribution of fiber types with a steep gradient from the ventral, superficial, white portion to the dorsal, deep, red region, where muscle spindles are restricted. Cross section of the medial longitudinal third of the rat SM contains around 10,000 muscle fibers with a mean diameter of 51.28±

Muscle Differentiation: A Gene for Slow Muscle? [PDF]
Skeletal muscle comes in two fundamental flavours, slow and fast, which determine physiological performance. Zebrafish screens have provided a handle on the molecular mechanism driving slow muscle formation. The transcriptional repressor Blimp1 has now been shown to be required in embryonic slow muscle precursor cells.

Muscle Development: Making Drosophila muscle [PDF]
Analysis of flies with mutations in the gene encoding the D-mef2 transcription factor identifies it as a controller of differentiation in multiple muscle cell types; it is the first such gene to be described.
