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.

Implementation of a new strategy to improve the peri‐operative management of neuromuscular blockade and its effects on postoperative pulmonary complications

Anaesthesia, 2018
Inappropriate dosing of neostigmine for antagonism of neuromuscular blockade has been associated with postoperative pulmonary complications. We evaluated the effects of a quality improvement initiative tailored to optimise the use of neostigmine in ...

Rates and Equilibria for a Photoisomerizable Antagonist at the Acetylcholine Receptor of Electrophorus Electroplaques [PDF]

, 1985
Voltage-jump and light-flash experiments have been performed on isolated Electrophorus electroplaques exposed simultaneously to nicotinic agonists and to the photoisomerizable compound 2,2'-bis-[α-(trimethylammonium)methyl]-azobenzene (2BQ).

Mechanical Stress Induced NOX2 Promotes Endothelial Dysfunction in Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Potential Treatment with Quercetin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Abnormal mechanical stretch induced by mechanical ventilation (MV) disrupts endothelial junctions via the NOX2/ROS/CaMKII/ERK1/2 axis both in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in vitro and in ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) in mice. Quercetin, an antioxidant predicted to bind to NOX2, can effectively prevent mechanical stretch‐induced ...

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,

Therapeutic doses of neostigmine, depolarising neuromuscular blockade and muscle weakness in awake volunteers: a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomised volunteer study

Anaesthesia, 2018
Neostigmine reverses non‐depolarising neuromuscular blockade, but may cause muscle weakness when administered after full recovery of neuromuscular function.

Arachidonic Acid as a Possible Negative Feedback Inhibitor of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors on Neurons [PDF]

, 1995
Neuronal acetylcholine receptors, being highly permeable to calcium, are likely to regulate calcium-dependent events in neurons. Arachidonic acid is a membrane-permeant second messenger that can be released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipases ...

Residual neuromuscular blockade and late neuromuscular blockade at the post-anesthetic recovery unit: prospective cohort study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021
Introduction and objectives: The use of neuromuscular blockers during surgery represented a landmark for anesthesiology. However, their use can prompt residual Neuromuscular Blockade (RNMB) and objective monitoring of neuromuscular function is crucial to

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.
