From Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Scoping Review of Artificial Intelligence‐Powered Chatbots for Addressing Patients' and Caregivers' Information Needs

open access: yesMedicine Advances, EarlyView.
This scoping review synthesizes evidence from 24 studies (2019–2024) to examine how AI‐powered chatbots address patients' and caregivers' health information needs across diseases. Findings highlight key benefits such as accessibility, empowerment, efficiency, and personalization, alongside important limitations related to empathy, language and ...

Possible mechanisms of muscle cramp from temporal and spatial surface EMG characteristics

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physiology, 2000
In this study, the initiation and development of muscle cramp are investigated. For this, we used a 64-channel surface electromyogram (EMG) to study the triceps surae muscle during both cramp and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in four cramp-prone ...

Muscle cramps

Muscle & Nerve, 2005
AbstractMuscle cramps are a common problem characterized by a sudden, painful, involuntary contraction of muscle. These true cramps, which originate from peripheral nerves, may be distinguished from other muscle pain or spasm. Medical history, physical examination, and a limited laboratory screen help to determine the various causes of muscle cramps ...

Muscle Cramps

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1990
Painful involuntary skeletal muscle contractions, or cramps, are common patient complaints and may be classified as examples of true cramp, tetany, contracture, or dystonia. The pathophysiologic and clinical features of each of these diagnoses are described. The approach to the patient with cramps should emphasize the history, physical examination, and,

Origin and Development of Muscle Cramps

Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2013
Cramps are sudden, involuntary, painful muscle contractions. Their pathophysiology remains poorly understood. One hypothesis is that cramps result from changes in motor neuron excitability (central origin). Another hypothesis is that they result from spontaneous discharges of the motor nerves (peripheral origin).

Leg Muscle Cramps

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981
To the Editor.— In their brief article, "Nocturnal Leg Muscle Cramps," Israel H. Weiner, MD, and Henry L. Weiner gave a simple physiological explanation for ordinary cramps. They said that when a muscle starts to contract at its shortest length, it shortens "beyond physiological limit into a painful cramp." This occurs because there is "no resistance ...
