OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of electrical stimulation applied before and after botulinum toxin injection. SUBJECTS Eight healthy subjects. METHODS Both extensor digitorum brevis muscles were injected with low fixed doses of botulinum toxin. Subjects received a 20-min session of electrical stimulation before botulinum toxin injection for the right foot and after the injection for the lef...

Temporary paralysis is a rare manifestation of envenoming following the yellow Iranian scorpion, Odontobuthus doriae (O. doriae). Thus, to elucidate the underlying mechanism, we investigated the neurotoxic effect of venom in the sciatic nerve, the possible mechanism in a mice model. The neurotoxicity and temperature effects in the venom-induced neurotoxicity were examined using the mouse sciati...

Abstract Introduction : Despite its central role in medicine electrical stimulation (ES) is still limited by selectivity. Different reports did assess effects of different waveforms, intensities, and frequency on the activation threshold nerve fibres with diameters. We aimed to extend this knowledge investigating effect short monophasic rectangular pulses (1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100 200 μs) recruitme...
