Attenuation of autonomic dysreflexia during functional electrical stimulation cycling by neuromuscular electrical stimulation training: case reports.

Spinal Cord Series and Cases

Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) may cause impairments of the motor, sensory, and autonomic nervous systems, which result in adverse changes in body composition and cardiovascular health. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling may provide an effective alternative approach to perform exercise and improve cardiovascular health after SCI. Persons with an injury at or above T6 level are at high risk of developing a life-threatening complication of autonomic dysreflexia (AD). Two participants with motor-complete C6 SCI completed either 12 weeks of passive range of motion or surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) resistance training, followed by 12 weeks of functional electrical stimulation (FES) lower extremity cycling for both participants. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were measured to determine the effects of NMES-resistance training and FES-lower extremity cycling during rest and exercise. The difference between mean value of BP during FES-lower extremity cycling exercise and resting BP averaged for 24 sessions was smaller for participant A (31.25 mmHg for systolic BP and 10.44 mmHg for diastolic BP), who received NMES-resistance training, as compared with participant B (58.62 mmHg for systolic BP and ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
