Article Abstract

Transcutaneous electromyography (tc-EMG) has been used to measure the electrical activity of respiratory muscles during inspiration in various studies. Processing the raw tc-EMG signal of these inspiratory muscles has shown to be difficult as baseline noise, cardiac interference, cross-talk and motion artefacts can influence the signal quality. In this review we will discuss the most important sources of signal noise in tc-EMG of respiratory muscles and the various techniques described to suppress or reduce this signal noise. Furthermore, we will elaborate on the options available to develop or improve an algorithm that can be used to guide the approach for analysis of tc-EMG signals of inspiratory muscles in future research.

We present a case report of a 42-year-old female with post-West Nile virus meningoencephalitis who exhibited unique, long-latency diaphragm potentials evoked by transcranial and cervical magnetic stimulation after exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). The subject was recruited for a study investigating AIH effects on respiratory motor function in healthy individuals. She had contracted West Nile virus infection 5 years before assessment that resulted in hospitalization and persistent allodynia but was not reported to the research team.

Mitochondria is the cell's powerhouse. Mitochondrial disease refers to a group of clinically heterogeneous disorders caused by dysfunction in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, often due to mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear DNA (nDNA) that encodes mitochondrial proteins. This dysfunction can lead to a variety of clinical phenotypes, particularly affecting organs with high energy demands, such as the brain and muscles.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting from the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), affects various bodily systems, including the heart, central nervous system, muscles, and bones, all of which harbor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptors similar to those in the respiratory system. However, research on the inflammatory response and its impact on systems such as the musculoskeletal one is relatively scarce. Our study aimed to investigate bone and muscle metrics as well as handgrip strength in individuals who recuperated from COVID-19 infection.

Relation of Transversus Abdominis to Rectus Abdominis Muscle in Various Anatomical Landmark Levels: A Cadaveric Study.

Arch Plast Surg

January 2025

Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.

 Posterior Component Separation (PCS) is a surgical technique used in abdominal wall reconstruction. Understanding the relationship between the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis muscles and the location of intercostal nerves is crucial for minimizing nerve injury during PCS. This cadaveric study aimed to investigate these anatomical relationships and propose practical guidelines for safer PCS procedures.

Hyperthyroidism is linked to several muscle disorders, including thyrotoxic myopathy, myasthenia gravis, and periodic paralysis. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening neuromuscular condition that predominantly affects Asian males and is characterized by muscle weakness, hypokalemia, and thyrotoxicosis. Treatment involves potassium supplementation, and beta-blockers.
