Effect of Curare on Interrelationships of Force, EMG, and Joint Position for Isometric Contractions of Quadriceps Femoris in Man
No full text The interrelationship of force, surface elecrograms (EMG) and
joint position for static voluntary contractions of Quadriceps Femoris
muscle group in man were investigated before and during partial curarization
induced by d-tubocurarine. Four normal male volunteers were studied. Each performed a series of brief isometric contractions (by extension of the lower leg against
resistance) at different levels of force and at three knee-joint positions
while lying in the supine position. All series were repeated
for both a normal state and a partially paralyzed state under the :influence
of curare. Torque generated about the knee-joint was measured
with a Cybex isokinetic system and the nyoelectric activity of three
quadriceps muscles was monitored using bipolar surface electrodes. Traditional parameters of nyoelectric activity (mean-rectified-EMG
[MRE], and root-mean-squared-DG [RMSE]) were calculated using a
minicomputer (PDPll/34), which had also acquired and processed the
data. In addition, EMG power spectra were computed by Fast Fourier
Transform techniques in an attempt to provide further insight into the
effects of curare on human muscle. In order to provide a basis for comparison of the normal state with the parially curarized state, force-EMG relationships were computed for each subject, muscle, knee-joint angle, and condition. Statistical
methods (three-way ANOVA' s) were then employed to both quantify
any differences that may have existed between the two states and to identify sources of differences within each state. A similar statistically-
based comparison of the power spectra was undertaken utilizing
several indices that described the shape of the spectra. A general
description of the activities of the quadriceps femoris muscles followed
after collating all the information that the surface DIG provided
in conjunction with the external forces measured. It was concluded that curare did not have any significant effects
on the force-EMG relationship. There appeared to be a slight effect of
curare on the power spectra however, with a general trend of increasing
lower frequency power. The greatest source of variation of force-EMG
relationships and power spectra was attributed to the position of
the knee-joint. ThesisMaster of Engineering (MEngr
Ansia: comprendere per curare.
No full textI disturbi d'ansia sono tra le patologie più frequentemente osservabili negli ambulatori di medicina generale. Troppo spesso non sono inquadrati tempestivamente. Questo libro, presentando i vari volti dell'ansia e suggerendo i modi per affrontarla, può aiutare il medico generico a comprendere, diagnosticare e curare questi disturbi o a effettuare un adeguato invio. Il libro offre anche una panoramica aggiornata dell'ansia, sia dal punto di vista fisiopatologico, che diagnostico e terapeutico, risultando così utile anche allo specialista
Demonstrating data collections curation and exploration with CURARE
No full textInternational audienceThis paper demonstrates CURARE, an environment for curating and assisting data scientists to explore raw data collections. CURARE implements a data curation model used to store structural and quantitative metadata semi-automatically extracted. It provides associated functions for exploring these metadata. The demonstration proposed in this paper is devoted to evaluate and compare the effort invested by a data scientist when exploring data collections with and without CURARE assistance
