The analysis of the pattern of electrical activity and of individual motor unit potentials in the same muscle both identified about 90% of 41 patients as having a myopathy. The pattern of electrical activity was analysed during a force which was a fixed fraction of maximum; individual motor unit potentials were analysed during weak effort. The two methods supplement each other as some of the pa...

The Hungarian psychiatrist Laszlo Meduna was the first who induced epileptic fits to influence the course of mental illness. The following account, based on a review of Meduna's recently unearthed files and his writings, traces the beginnings of convulsive therapy.

It is pointed out that the role of electrons in dynamics pair ion and negative positive plasmas cannot be neglected even at extremely low density electrons, i.e., ne0n+0≪mem+ (where nj0 background jth species mj mass particles j-species while j = e, +, −) because electron thermal velocity almost always larger than velocities ions, vT± ≪ vTe. An analysis electrostatic waves unmagnetized (NPIE) (...
