Effect of M-wave Amplitude on Inter-evaluator Concordance and Number of Detected Innervation Zones in the Medial Gastrocnemius Using Multichannel Electromyography
Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The Innervation Zones (IZ) correspond to clusters of neuromuscular junctions. The traditional method of locating IZs through voluntary muscle contractions may not be feasible in individuals with motor disorders. Imposed contractions by electrostimulation are an alternative. However, there is lim...
Predictive factors of the contracture test for diagnosing malignant hyperthermia in a Brazilian population sample: a retrospective observational study
Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (2), 2023
Abstract Introduction Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic, hereditary and autosomal dominant syndrome triggered by halogenates/succinylcholine. The In Vitro Contracture Test (IVCT) is the gold standard diagnostic test for MH, and it evaluates abnormal skeletal muscle reactions of susceptibl...
Does L-carnitine prevent cadmium-induced damage in gastrointestinal contractility and histological changes in prepubertal rat
Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Cadmium (Cd) is the industrial and environmental toxic heavy metal which is found in air, water and soil. Cd, adversely affects many organs in humans such as kidney, intestine, liver, testis and lungs. L-carnitine (LC) is an important agent that plays essential role in energy metabolism. In our ...

Prospective study of the aesthetic effect of botulinum toxin a when injected into the muscles of facial expression
Int. j interdiscip. dent. (Print); 15 (3), 2022
Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) causes an anticholinergic effect on neuronal fibers, which control muscle contraction and autonomic disorders. Thus, it has been widely used in facial aesthetics, decreasing the action of motor muscles and consequent wrinkles. This preliminary study evaluated the effect of...
Variação da atividade elétrica entre o repouso e a máxima contração voluntária dos músculos masseteres em homens adultos
Distúrb. comun; 34 (1), 2022
Introdução: A eletromiografia de superfície (EMGs) é um exame objetivo, indolor, não invasivo e de fácil aplicação utilizado para avaliar as atividades elétricas de determinado músculo ou grupo muscular durante a máxima contração voluntária, repouso e dinâmica funcional. Objetivo: Comparar...
Blood glucose kinetics during concentric and eccentric muscle contractions
Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
Studies comparing the two classes of stimuli (concentric and eccentric) have shown differences in the improvement of cardiovascular, metabolic, and muscle strength gain. This is an experimental, quantitative, and prospective study that aimed to verify the effect of eccentric exercise on glycolytic consum...
Rate of force development and stretch-shortening cycle in different jumps in the elite volleyball players
Int. j. morphol; 40 (2), 2022
SUMMARY: As it is currently played, volleyball is a game in which success depends in large measure on the athleticism of the participants. The aim of this research was to point out the importance of the cycle of stretching and shortening in different jumps for elite volleyball players. Thus, it is common...

Enhanced active contraction of the transversus abdominis during walking
Rev. bras. med. esporte; 27 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Introduction: We applied three-dimensional gait analysis to assess the effects of enhanced active contraction of the transversus abdominis (EACTA) during walking. We sought to evaluate the effect of EACTA during walking in order to improve walking quality. Methods: Thirty college students were...
