Scalable Biophysical Simulations of the Neuromuscular System [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The human neuromuscular system consisting of skeletal muscles and neural circuits is a complex system that is not yet fully understood. Surface electromyography (EMG) can be used to study muscle behavior from the outside. Computer simulations with detailed biophysical models provide a non-invasive tool to interpret EMG signals and gain new insights ...

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013 Evaluation of the degree of neuromuscular blockade by the surgeon using clinical criteria alone is unreliable. We report a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade lasting 5.5 h, where an additional intra-operative dose of neuromuscular relaxant was ...

Intradermal skin tests for rocuronium and cisatracurium in patients with a history of allergy: a retrospective study [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018 Background Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are a leading cause of perioperative anaphylaxis. However, the performance of systematic screening skin tests to detect reactions for NMBAs prior to general anesthesia is not recommended.

Neuromuscular Reinforcement Learning to Actuate Human Limbs through FES [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technique to evoke muscle contraction through low-energy electrical signals. FES can animate paralysed limbs. Yet, an open challenge remains on how to apply FES to achieve desired movements. This challenge is accentuated by the complexities of human bodies and the non-stationarities of the muscles' responses.

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018 Background During anaesthesia it is not uncommon to administer epinephrine in patients blocked by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. However, there are few reports on possible interaction of epinephrine with neuromuscular transmission in humans.

Anaphylactic reactions after cisatracurium administration in two patients -a report of two cases- [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013 Cisatracurium was initially characterized to have no evident histamine-releasing potential with excellent cardiovascular stability. However, severe anaphylactic reactions to cisatracurium that resulted in bronchospasms and cardiovascular collapse have ...

Human and equipment resources for difficult airway management, airway education programs, and capnometry use in Japanese emergency departments: a nationwide cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Although human and equipment resources, proper training, and the verification of endotracheal intubation are vital elements of difficult airway management (DAM), their availability in Japanese emergency departments (EDs) has not been ...

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017 Background and Aims: Neuromuscular blocking agents have been one of the cornerstones of anaesthesia. With the advent of newer surgical, anaesthetic and neurological monitoring techniques, their utility in neuroanaesthesia practice seems dispensable.
