A Survey on Current Methods of Carpal Height Ratio Measurement and Suggestion of a New Method
Background & Aims: Two famous methods are commonly used for the measurement of carpal height ratio. Both methods are performed on anteroposterior radiogram and have some shortcomings. We are going to introduce a new method for measuring this index in lateral view of the wrist radiogram' Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study was conducted on 100 anteroposterior and lateral radiogr...
متن کاملMeasurement of electrogenic-pump current in Aplysia neurones with constant-current and constant-voltage techniques.
1. The responses of the abdominal and pleural giant cells to warming and cooling were studied using constant-current and constant-voltage techniques. 2. The potential change upon warming from about 7 degrees C to 22 degrees C was reversed by application of maintained inward current. The reversal potential was -77 +/- 12 mV. 3. The membrane conductance increased with warming, but was not affecte...
متن کاملZn2+ blocks the voltage activated calcium current of Aplysia neurons.
We have investigated the effect of Zn2+ on voltage-activated calcium currents of Aplysia neurons, using conventional two-electrode voltage-clamp techniques. The peak of these currents was reversibly reduced by Zn2+ (50% reduction at 3.75 mM; total block at 20 mM), while the current-voltage relation and the activation and inactivation curves were shifted to depolarized voltages. The effects of Z...
متن کاملLead inhibits the voltage-activated calcium current of Aplysia neurons.
Lead is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the voltage-dependent calcium current of Aplysia neurons in a concentration range (1-1000 microM) similar to that which elicits toxic effects in man. The threshold for inhibition is 1 microM and the dissociation constant about 90 microM. The inhibition is due to reduction of the peak current amplitude, and not due to alteration of the voltage depende...
متن کاملCa2+-DEPENDENT INACTIVATION OF Ca2l CURRENT IN APLYSIA NEURONS: KINETIC STUDIES USING PHOTOLABILE
1. The kinetics and sensitivity of the Ca2"-dependent inactivation of calcium current (Ic.) were examined in intact cell bodies from the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica under two-electrode voltage clamp. 2. Rapid changes in the level of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) were generated at the cell surface by photolytic release of Ca2" (nitr-5 and dimethoxy nitrophen) or Ca2" buffer ...
