We included MG patients who met the clinical (including purely ocular symptoms), laboratorial (‘double’ absence of serum antibodies), and electrophysiological (compound muscle action potential with ...

Pacemaker cells generate electrical impulses, or action potentials, that tell cardiac muscle cells to contract and relax. The pacemaker cells control heart rate and determine how fast the heart ...

Patients selected for the study had more than a 10% decrease of the compound muscle action potential amplitude (CMAPamp) from the first to the fourth response for both the deltoid and the APB muscles.

Abstract: Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan provides a detailed stimulus-response curve for examination of neuromuscular disease. The objective of the study is to develop a novel CMAP scan ...

We tested the hypothesis that women who develop gestational hypertension (GH) display abnormal sympathetic action potential (AP ... We measured heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle sympathetic nerve ...

Here the authors take advantage of C. elegans genetics and muscle physiology to demonstrate that Shank binds CaV1 voltage activated calcium channels and promotes CaV1 coupling to calcium activated ...

All the voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms expressed in either the muscle or the brain have a crucial role in tissue excitability—their primary function is to generate and conduct action potentials ...

Motor nerve conduction studies showed decreased amplitude and prolonged duration of compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) with normal distal motor latencies and normal conduction velocities in ...

this leads to the endplate potential which initiates the muscle action potential that results in muscle contraction. This is a simplified version of the events in neuromuscular transmission that take ...
