Tetanic Stimulation Leads to Increased Accumulation of Ca^(2+)/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II via Dendritic Protein Synthesis in Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]

, 1999
mRNA for the ɑ-subunit of CaMKII is abundant in dendrites of neurons in the forebrain (Steward, 1997). Here we show that tetanic stimulation of the Schaffer collateral pathway causes an increase in the concentration of ɑ-CaMKII in the dendrites of ...

Heart Rate Variability as an Indicator of Autonomic Nervous System Disturbance in Tetanus

bioRxiv, 2019
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (ANSD) is a significant cause of mortality in tetanus. Currently diagnosis relies on non-specific clinical signs. Heart rate variability (HRV) may indicate underlying autonomic nervous system activity and represents a
