Characteristics of the Protocols Used in Electrical Pulse Stimulation of Cultured Cells for Mimicking In Vivo Exercise: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression
(2022)While exercise benefits a wide spectrum of diseases and affects most tissues and organs, many aspects of its underlying mechanistic effects remain unsolved. In vitro exercise, mimicking neuronal signals leading to muscle ... -

The effect of Trichinella spiralis on muscular activity of experimentally infected mice
(2020)Nematodes of genus Trichinella are wide-spread zoonotic parasites, able to infect a large variety of vertebrates. Animal hosts are usually regarded as asymptomatic carriers. However, there is little data regarding the ... -
Effects of Redox Disturbances on Motility, Contractility and Muscle Tissue Pathogenesis
(2019)[No abstract available] -
The effects of training with high-speed interval running on muscle performance are modulated by slope
(2021)We examined changes in selected muscle performance parameters after 8 weeks of interval training using two opposite running inclinations. We hypothesized that the uphill training will affect endurance muscle performance ... -
Evidence of functional deficits at the single muscle fiber level in experimentally-induced renal insufficiency
(2019)Chronic kidney disease patients present with metabolic and functional muscle abnormalities, called uremic myopathy, whose mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. We investigated whether chronic renal insufficiency ... -
Fetal position in Alzheimer's disease. An anatomic body remodelling due to retrogenesis
(2018)Acquired fetal position by patients in end stage Alzheimer's disease is a quite common sign. The theory of retrogenesis was proposed to explain this anatomic remodelling of the human body. Copyright © 2018 Balkan Medical Union -
The muscarinic antagonist gallamine induces proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells regardless of the cell phenotype
(2019)Background: Muscarinic receptor antagonists are a usual treatment for chronic airway diseases, with increased bronchoconstriction, like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases are usually accompanied ... -
Muscle metaboreceptors modulate postexercise sweating, but not cutaneous blood flow, independent of baroreceptor loading status
(2015)We examined whether sustained changes in baroreceptor loading status during prolonged postexercise recovery can alter the metaboreceptors’ influence on heat loss. Thirteen young males performed a 1-min isometric handgrip ... -
Non-invasive measurement of tibialis anterior muscle temperature during rest, cycling exercise and post-exercise recovery
(2015)We introduce a non-invasive and accurate method to assess tibialis anterior muscle temperature (Tm) during rest, cycling exercise, and post-exercise recovery using the insulation disk (INDISK) technique. Twenty-six healthy ... -
A novel task-specific dystonia type: Hemifacial spasm in a photographer
(2021)A 67-year-old male photographer who used traditional cameras that necessitated monocular focusing developed intermittent blepharospasms, evident only during and shortly after the voluntary contraction of the left eyelids ... -
Respiratory, cardiac and metabolic responses during electrical muscle stimulation in quadriceps muscle versus comparable voluntary muscle contractions
(2021)Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and voluntary muscle contraction (VMC) are both acceptable rehabilitative modalities to preserve muscle strength loss. The study aimed to compare respiratory, metabolic, and cardiac ... -
Static and Dynamic Handgrip Strength Endurance: Test-Retest Reproducibility
(2017)Purpose This study investigated the reliability of static and dynamic handgrip strength endurance using different protocols and indicators for the assessment of strength endurance. Methods Forty young, healthy men and women ... -
Technical evaluation of in vivo abdominal fat and IMCL quantification using MRI and MRSI at 3 T
(2008)Objectives: The objectives of this study were to develop protocols that measure abdominal fat and calf muscle lipids with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), respectively, at 3 T and ...
