Temperature dependency of human muscle velocity recovery cycles

Velocity recovery cycles (VRCs) of human muscle action potentials have been proposed as a new technique for studying muscle membrane function. This study was undertaken to determine the temperature dependency of VRC parameters.

Membrane dysfunction in Andersen-Tawil syndrome assessed by velocity recovery cycles

Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) due to Kir2.1mutations typically manifests as periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and developmental abnormalities but is often difficult to diagnose clinically. This study was undertaken to determine whether sarcolemmal dysfunction could be identified with muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs).

Validity of multi-fiber muscle velocity recovery cycles recorded at a single site using submaximal stimuli

To examine the validity of multi-fiber muscle velocity recovery cycles (VRCs) recorded by direct muscle stimulation with submaximal stimuli.

Functional aspects of distal oesophageal spasm: the role of onset velocity and contraction amplitude on bolus transit

Distal oesophageal spasm is a rare and under-investigated motility abnormality. Recent studies indicate effective bolus transit in varying percentages of distal oesophageal spasm patients.
