Role of medullary astroglial glutamine synthesis in tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with frequent masseter muscle contraction

Molecular Pain, 2018
Background The mechanisms underlying tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with masseter muscle hyperalgesia remain largely underinvestigated. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether masseter muscle contraction induced by daily electrical ...

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Essential Role of ATP Synthesized by Creatine Kinase in Contraction of -Toxin Permeabilized Preparations of Tonic Type Smooth Muscle

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
The role of ATP newly synthesized from ADP and phosphocreatine (PC) by creatine kinase (CK) in the contraction of tonic type smooth muscle, rat femoral artery was studied, since its necessity for phasic type smooth muscle was previously shown. In α-toxin-

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...

Impact of contraction intensity and ankle joint angle on calf muscle fascicle length and pennation angle during isometric and dynamic contractions

Scientific Reports
During muscle contraction, not only are the fascicles shortening but also the pennation angle changes, which leads to a faster contraction of the muscle than of its fascicles. This phenomenon is called muscle gearing, and it has a direct influence on the

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Exaggerated Pressor Response in Relation to Attenuated Muscle Temperature Response during Contraction in Ischemic Heart Failure

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
It is known that muscle temperature (Tm) increases with exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine if contraction-induced increase in Tm was altered in rats with heart failure (HF) induced by chronic myocardial infraction (MI) as compared with ...
