Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2018 Valeriana officinalis L. root extracts are traditionally taken for their sedative and anxiolytic properties and are also used for muscle relaxation. Relaxant effects were clearly observed on smooth muscle whereas data on effects on skeletal muscle are ...

Synthesis and photodegradation studies of analogues of muscle relaxant 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds
Acta Pharmaceutica, 2017 This paper describes the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds (DHPs) endowed with good muscle relaxant activity and stability to light. Six new condensed DHPs were synthesized by the microwave irradiation method.

Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Human Muscle For Development of Human Gait Analyzer Application [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Despite the fact that only a small portion of muscles are affected in motion disease and disorders, medical therapies do not distinguish between healthy and unhealthy muscles. In this paper, a method is devised in order to calculate the neural stimuli of the lower body during gait cycle and check if any group of muscles are not acting properly.

Do Complexity Measures of Frontal EEG Distinguish Loss of Consciousness in Geriatric Patients Under Anesthesia? [PDF]
, 2018 While geriatric patients have a high likelihood of requiring anesthesia, they carry an increased risk for adverse cognitive outcomes from its use. Previous work suggests this could be mitigated by better intraoperative monitoring using indexes defined by

Reflex-based Motion Strategy of Musculoskeletal Humanoids under Environmental Contact Using Muscle Relaxation Control [PDF]
The musculoskeletal humanoid can move well under environmental contact thanks to its body softness. However, there are few studies that actively make use of the environment to rest its flexible musculoskeletal body. Also, its complex musculoskeletal structure is difficult to modelize and high internal muscle tension sometimes occurs.

Dynamics of relaxation to a stationary state for interacting molecular motors [PDF]
, 2017 Motor proteins are active enzymatic molecules that drive a variety of biological processes, including transfer of genetic information, cellular transport, cell motility and muscles contraction. It is known that these biological molecular motors usually perform their cellular tasks by acting collectively, and there are interactions between individual ...

The novel serine protease PreR-Co promotes endothelium-independent vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings [PDF]
, 2003 The effect of a novel enzyme (PreR-Co) that activates renal prorenin was studied on rabbit aortas with and without endothelium. It was tested 1) in the basal tone of nonstimulated or ANG II-sensitized rings or rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE),
