BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been suggested to constitute a restoration index of the disturbed endothelium in ICU patients. Neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES) is increasingly employed in ICU to prevent comorbidities such as ICU-acquired weakness, which is related to en

CONTEXT: Russell's viper is more medically important than any other Asian snake, due to number of envenoming's and fatalities. Russell's viper populations in South India and Sri Lanka (Daboia russelii) cause unique neuromuscular paralysis not seen in other Russell's vipers.OBJECTIVE: To investigate

Ageing is associated with loss of skeletal muscle fibres, atrophy of the remaining fibres and weakness. These changes in muscle are accompanied by disruption of motor neurons and neuromuscular junctions although the direct relationship between the nerve and muscle degeneration is not understood. Oxi

… The exact etiology of sarcopenia is not completely understood, but recent studies have focused on age-associated changes in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). … Using an animal model of myasthenia gravis with antibodies against muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), a disorder of the NMJ characterized by muscle weakness, we investigated the role of the NMJ in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia. …
