Neuromuscular monitoring in myasthenic syndrome [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 2001
We describe the anaesthetic management of a 72‐year‐old man with myasthenic syndrome. Pre‐operatively, he was treated with 3,4‐diaminopyridine and showed a strong hand grip. During general anaesthesia with nitrous oxide and sevoflurane in oxygen, a mechanomyograph and two accelerographs were set up for the hands and left foot to monitor neuromuscular ...

Stretching‐Orientation Reinforced Double Network Solvent‐Free Eutectic Gels for Ultrarobust, Flexible Human‐Machine Interaction Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops an ultrarobust, flexible, and solvent‐free eutectic gel featuring stretch‐induced orientation. Overcoming hydrogel limitations, the gel achieves record toughness (133.86 MJ m−3) while integrating strain/temperature/capacitive sensing.

Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

, 2006
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Feasibility, drug safety, and effectiveness of etiological treatment programs for Chagas disease in Honduras, Guatemala, and Bolivia: 10-year experience of Médecins Sans Frontières [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is a zoonotic or anthropozoonotic disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Predominantly affecting populations in poor areas of Latin America, medical care for this neglected disease is often

Tattoo Assisted Optical Sensor System for Multimodal Discrete Physiological Sensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional temporary tattoos can be used for improving the speckle imaging signal‐to‐noise ratio and stability of the specifically developed device for capturing skin motion related to physiological activities beneath the skin. This allows for sensing multimodal electrophysiological signals and physiological events from the skin consistent with ...

Laser‐Induced Structuring of Biocompatible Polymers for the Controlled Orientation of Multinucleated Myotubes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Laser structuring of biocompatible polymers creates precise surface patterns that influence cell organization. By imaging, contact angle measurements, and chemical analysis, this study demonstrates the ability of laser‐induced micro‐structured surfaces to guide muscle cell alignment. These findings support laser patterning of biopolymers as a promising

Failure of reversion of neuromuscular block with sugammadex in patient with myasthenia gravis: case report and brief review of literature

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a challenge for anesthesia management. This report shows that the use of rocuronium-sugammadex is not free from flaws and highlights the importance of cholinesterase inhibitors management and neuromuscular block ...
