The impact of varying electrical stimulation parameters on neuromuscular response [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 High density neurostimulation systems are coming to market to help spinal cord injury patients by stimulating and recording neuromuscular function. However, the parameter space that these systems have to explore is exceedingly large, and would need an artificial intelligence (AI) system to optimize.

Role of Neuromuscular Junction Monitoring in Management of a Postpartum Eclamptic Patient with Iatrogenic Hypermagnesemia [PDF]
The Indian Anaesthetists' Forum, 2010 Accidental hypermagnesemia is a common and often missed complication during treatment in a postpartum eclamptic patient. As symptomatic hypermagnesemia leads to neuromuscular junction blockade, neuromuscular junction monitoring serves the purpose of ...

Automatic Classification of Neuromuscular Diseases in Children Using Photoacoustic Imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) cause a significant burden for both healthcare systems and society. They can lead to severe progressive muscle weakness, muscle degeneration, contracture, deformity and progressive disability. The NMDs evaluated in this study often manifest in early childhood. As subtypes of disease, e.g.
