Cardiac cycle does not affect motor evoked potential variability: A real-time EKG-EMG study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) are highly variable, reflecting physiological fluctuations in corticospinal excitability. Besides changes coil 3D-orientation, MEP variability also depends on several factors related to state stimulated [1,2]. Another factor, poorly investigated so far, is physical brain displacement secondary intracranial pressure (ICP).

Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion Does not Affect the Presence of Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potential.
OBJECTIVE Cervical spondylosis and cervical disk herniation are the most frequent forms of degenerative disease in the cervical spine. Surgical treatment mainly includes anterior cervical disk fusion. However, information concerning vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) recording in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery is limited. The present prospective study aimed to investigate t...
متن کاملMotor evoked potential polyphasia
Objective: We compared the motor evoked potential (MEP) phases using transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), their relatives, and healthy controls, hypothesizing that patients and their unaffected relatives may share a subtle pathophysiologic abnormality. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we investigated 23 patients with IGE, 34 first-degree ...
متن کاملA real-time EMG-driven virtual arm
An EMG-driven virtual arm is being developed in our laboratories for the purposes of studying neuromuscular control of arm movements. The virtual arm incorporates the major muscles spanning the elbow joint and is used to estimate tension developed by individual muscles based on recorded electromyograms (EMGs). It is able to estimate joint moments and the corresponding virtual movements, which a...
متن کاملFixation time does not affect expression of HER2/neu.
It is said that HER2/neu expression by immunohistochemical analysis varies with the time of fixation. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the impact of the length of fixation in 10% buffered formalin on the expression of HER2/neu by immunohistochemical analysis. We studied tissue samples from 10 invasive breast cancer cases after fixation for 3, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. The tissu...
متن کاملFixation time does not affect the expression of estrogen receptor.
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the impact of the length of fixation in 10% buffered formalin on the expression of estrogen receptor by immunohistochemical analysis. We studied tissue samples from 10 invasive breast cancer cases after fixation for 1, 3, 6, and 9 to 10 hours. The tissue was processed immediately after fixation, resembling routine practice. Then the 40 blocks wer...
