Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) is an intramuscular phenomenon involving the slow recovery of submaximal muscle strength following strenuous exercise. We hypothesize that the contribution of impaired excitation-contraction coupling processes to PLFFD is task dependent, and that they will be different between metabolically and mechanically demanding exercises. We also discuss evidence of the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate PLFFD.

To date, there have been no studies on the dynamics of areas of pain, paraesthesia and hypoesthesia after the use of various transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in the treatment of meralgia paresthetica. In this pilot study, we observed 68 patients with obesity-related bilateral meralgia paresthetica. Pain syndrome, paraesthesia symptoms, and hypoesthesia were evaluated using 10-point scores.

While autonomic dysregulation and repolarization abnormalities are observed in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), their relationship remains unclear. We aimed to measure skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA), a novel method to estimate stellate ganglion nerve activity, and investigate its association with electrocardiogram (ECG) alterations after SAH. We recorded a total of 179 SKNA data from SAH patients at three distinct phases and compared them with 20 data from controls.

There has been considerable interest in the recent advances in synthetic micro/nanomotors in diverse biofluids due to their potential biomedical applications. However, the propulsion of existing micro/nanomotor platforms for delivery in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is inefficient. Herein, we present a magnetically and chemically actuated micromotor-tableted pill that can be actively retained in the GI tract .

Monopolar electrocautery is usually a safe and effective technique used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and bile duct surgery, but it may lead to adverse consequences, even ventricular fibrillation (VF). Amiodarone is an effective antiarrhythmic drug commonly used in practice to treat ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, but it may induce tachyarrhythmia or even VF. We report a case of VF occurring twice during cholecystectomy.

Gas bubbles, commonly used in medical ultrasound (US), witness advancements with nanobubbles (NB), providing improved capabilities over microbubbles (MB). NBs offer enhanced penetration into capillaries and the ability to extravasate into tumors following systemic injection, alongside prolonged circulation and persistent acoustic contrast. Low-frequency insonation (<1 MHz) with NBs holds great potential in inducing significant bioeffects, making the monitoring of their acoustic response critical to achieving therapeutic goals.
