Isolated forearm technique: a meta-analysis of connected consciousness during different general anaesthesia regimens [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia should prevent patients from experiencing surgery, defined as connected consciousness. The isolated forearm technique (IFT) is the current gold standard for connected consciousness monitoring.

Predictor-Based Tracking For Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 A new hybrid tracking controller for neuromuscular electrical stimulation is proposed. The control scheme uses sampled measurements and is designed by utilizing a numerical prediction of the state variables. The tracking error of the closed-loop system converges exponentially to zero and robustness to perturbations of the sampling schedule is exhibited.

Feature Extraction from Segmentations of Neuromuscular Junctions [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Segmentations are often necessary for the analysis of image data. They are used to identify different objects, for example cell nuclei, mitochondria, or complete cells in microscopic images. There might be features in the data, that cannot be detected by segmentation approaches directly, because they are not characterized by their texture of boundaries,

Creative or Not? Birds and Ants Draw with Muscle [PDF]
, 2011 In this work, a novel approach of merging two swarm intelligence algorithms is considered – one mimicking the behaviour of ants foraging (Stochastic Diffusion Search [5]) and the other algorithm simulating the behaviour of birds flocking (Particle Swarm ...

BILE SALTS AND NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1981 The influence of the primary bile salts taurocholate and chenodeoxycholate on the neuromuscular blockade of the non-depolarizing drugs Org 6368, pancuronium, Org NC 45 and hexafluorenium was studied in cats. An increase in the effects of these agents, all possessing widely varying molecular structures, was found following administration of the bile ...

Optimizing wearable assistive devices with neuromuscular models and optimal control [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The coupling of human movement dynamics with the function and design of wearable assistive devices is vital to better understand the interaction between the two. Advanced neuromuscular models and optimal control formulations provide the possibility to study and improve this interaction.

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2011 Background: Residual neuromuscular blockade continues to be a clinical problem after surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of residual paralysis in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after a single intubating dose

A Static Distributed-parameter Circuit Model Explains Electrical Stimulation on the Neuromuscular System [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Finite Element Modeling (FEM) has been widely used to model the electric field distribution, to study the interaction between stimulation electrodes and neural tissue. However, due to the insufficient computational capability to represent neural tissue down to an atom-level, the existing FEM fails to model the real electric field that is perpendicular ...

A study on the safety and efficacy of reveglucosidase alfa in patients with late-onset Pompe disease. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundLate-onset Pompe disease is a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder caused by lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency that ultimately results in mobility loss and respiratory failure.
