Detection of somatic muscle fasciculation on electrocardiograms.
Small discrete spikes appearing on the electrocardiogram (ECG) of a man with a pacemaker turned out to be fasciculation potentials picked up from leg muscles. To find out how common these spikes were all routine ECGs made in one month were reviewed. Spike potentials were found in six patients, and in each case they originated from somatic musculature. Spikes could nearly always be detected on E...
متن کاملEpithelioid sarcoma with muscle metastasis detected by positron emission tomography
BACKGROUND Epithelioid sarcoma is an uncommon high-grade sarcoma, mostly involving the extremities. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old man was referred to our institute with a diagnosis of Volkmann's contracture with the symptom of flexion contracture of the fingers associated with swelling in his left forearm. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signal intensity, comprising iso-sig...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: somatic muscle fasciculations detected by electrocardiography.
A routine EKG during admission for gastrostomy in a chronically hypertensive 75-year-old patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) demonstrated repetitive small depolarizations (figure). The patient had no cardiac pacemaker and was not taking any medication. A study of 550 routine EKGs revealed somatic muscle fasciculation potentials in 1%, in association with a range of lower motor neur...
متن کاملClassification of smooth muscle autoantibodies detected by immunofluorescence.
Three hundred and twelve sera containing antibodies to smooth muscle (SMA) wer analysed for the immunofluorescence patterns they produced in various tissues. A classification is described based on the three main appearances in rat kidney. Some sera, mainly of low titre, reacted only with vessel walls (SMA-V), some stained vessels and renal glomeruli (SMA-G) and high titre sera, mainly from pati...
متن کاملEffects of Fasciculation
This report describes the influence of neurite fasciculation on two aspects of nerve growth from chick spinal ganglia in vitro : the inhibition of outgrowth by high concentrations of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the preferential growth of neurites toward a capillary tube containing NGF. These studies involved a comparison of cultures of single cells, cell aggregates, and intact ganglia and the...
