Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring: Having It but Knowing When Not to Trust It [PDF]
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an enzyme involved in the degradation of depolarizing and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA), such as succinylcholine and mivacurium, respectively. Its deficiency is inherited or acquired, and results in

Effect of a course of neuromuscular training on static and dynamic balance of soldiers at risk for lower limb injury [PDF]
Background and aims: Weakness in the balance system leads to body instability, increased passive musculoskeletal lode, and consequently, increased likelihood of loss of balance and fall.

The Role of Contraction Mode in Determining Exercise Tolerance, Torque-Duration Relationship, and Neuromuscular Fatigue [PDF]
Purpose: Critical torque (CT) and work done above it (W') are key predictors of exercise performance associated with neuromuscular fatigue. The aim of the present study was to understand the role of the metabolic cost of exercise in determining exercise tolerance, CT and W' and the mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue.Methods: Twelve subjects performed ...
