Fatigue-induced changes in the proprioceptive reflex loop were explored in humans by using the tonic electromyographic (EMG) response to vibration (TVR) and relating it to lactic acidosis (LA) and oxidative stress. TVR was measured in flexor digitorum superficialis before and after sustained or
Single isolated phasic muscle fibers and small bundles of tonic fibers were directly stimulated in one-per-second twitch series by massive electrode shocks. During the stimulation period the isometric tension developed by the phasic fiber continuously decreased, first rapidly and then slowly. The
The present study was undertaken to investigate the acute anti-fatigue effect of a liquid nutritive and tonic crude drugs (NTDs) on stress induced in mice. After forced walking for 3 or 6h, the NTDs (applied orally, 10 ml/kg) significantly increased locomotor activity, while the administration of
The effects of a liquid nutritive and tonic drug (NTD) on the neurochemical changes elicited by physical fatigue in mice were investigated in terms of the calcium-dependent dopamine synthesizing function of the brain. In this study, Zena F-III (Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Japan), one of the
Ocular accommodation adopts a mean baseline response level of approximately 1.0 D in the absence of blur feedback (open-loop state). This baseline or tonic accommodation (TA) can be elevated following a sustained monocular accommodative response to a dioptric stimulus (lens adaptation) that exceeds
The influence of vibration frequency (40, 80, 100, 120, 150, or 200 Hz) at selected displacement amplitudes (0.2, 0.3 mm) on tonic vibration reflex (TVR) characteristics was investigated. The degree of synchronization of motor unit activity with vibratory stimuli in ten humans was determined using
The present studies were undertaken to investigate the differences between the antidepressant drug, imipramine, and liquid nutritive and tonic drugs (NTDs) that consist of Ginseng radix, Epimedii herba, Holen and an additional eight to twelve crude drugs. After preloading forced swimming, the NTD
1. In the present study on human foot dorsiflexor muscles we have examined the effects of high-frequency (150 Hz) muscle vibration on weak or moderate voluntary contractions (maintained by constant effort) and on maximal voluntary contractions (MCVs) of (i) non-fatigued muscles, (ii) muscles
The aim of the investigation was to determine the influence of vibration displacement amplitude (200, 300 microns peak-to-peak), as opposed to acceleration effects at selected frequencies (40, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200 Hz), on a commonly observed but often undesired motor response elicited by local
The aim of the present study was to clarify acute anti-fatiguing effects of three crude liquid drug preparations (S1-S3), containing almost the same amounts of Ginseng Radix, Epimedii Herba and Agkistrodon Japonicae, with each differentially containing an additional 11, 13 or 15 crude drugs. After
Perampanel is an approved adjunctive treatment for focal seizures with or without focal to bilateral tonic-clonic (FBTC) seizures and generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures. We compared efficacy and safety of perampanel vs placebo in Asian and non-Asian populations in a post hoc analysis of pooled
BACKGROUND
Sexual dysfunction (SD) is common among people with multiple sclerosis, but there is limited information on its relationships.
OBJECTIVE
This national study examines the relationships between sexual function with demographic factors, physical function, fatigue and
OBJECTIVE
Alteration of immune function may be associated with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and this study reveals the immunoregulatory effect of Astragalus membranaceus flavonoids (AMF).
METHODS
CF rats were induced by food intake restriction plus forced swimming for 6 weeks.
RESULTS
An atrophied
Fatigue is highly prevalent in the general population and is one of the most common side effects of cancer treatment. There is growing evidence that pro-inflammatory cytokines play a role in cancer-related fatigue, although the molecular mechanisms for chronic inflammation and fatigue have not been
