This study aims to determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on blood pressure after hysterectomy in elderly. research method uses quantitative with a quasi-experimental design pre-post test approach control group. The results showed decrease 29.2 mmHg systolic and 16.2 diastolic (p-value = 0.000; α 0.05). In conclusion, effectively reduces post-hysterectomy elderly patients....

Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we investigated how short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) was involved with transient motor cortex (M1) excitability changes observed just before the transition from muscle contraction to muscle relaxation. Ten healthy participants performed a simultaneous relaxation task of the ipsilateral finger and foot, relaxing from 10% of their maxim...

The role of nitric oxide (NO) as a mediator of colonic circular smooth muscle relaxation by human leucocytes was investigated. Granulocytes and mononuclear cells were obtained by gradient centrifugation of venous blood from healthy volunteers. Both cell types relaxed precontracted distal colonic circular smooth muscle in a concentration dependent manner. Muscle relaxation was inhibited by prein...

the myotonic disorders are a heterogeneous group of genetically determined diseases that are unified by the presence of myotonia, which is defined as failure of muscle relaxation after activation. the presentation of these disorders can range from asymptomatic electrical myotonia, as seen in some forms of myotonia congenita (mc), to severe disability with muscle weakness, cardiac conduction def...
