1. [The effect of fatigue on the biopotential of muscle fiber cells]

Author

Subjects
Adult, Male, Computers, Electromyography, Muscles, Physical Exertion, Humans, Female, Fatigue
Abstract

Muscular fatigue is a biological situation which is very difficult to quantify. The Authors studied through a computer analysis the power spectrum of electromyogram, recorded from abductor digiti minimi muscle during maximal and minimal contraction effort before and after fatigue and after muscle prolonged relaxation in 8 normal subjects. No significant spectrum differences were found between maximal and minimal effort in each trial, and between the spectra obtained before fatigue and after muscle prolonged relaxation. On the contrary significant differences were found between the spectra obtained after fatigue and the other conditions. The power spectrum analysis appears, also, to be a reliable neurophysiological parameter for the study of biological aspects of muscular fatigue.

2. [The conduction of optic nerve fibers using different visual patterns]

Author

Subjects
Adult, Nerve Fibers, Electric Conductivity, Evoked Potentials, Visual, Humans, Optic Nerve, Photic Stimulation
Abstract

The Authors have studied the behaviour of checkerboard pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies by using different spatial frequency stimuli and different stimulating visual fields in order to demonstrate whether spatial frequency might constitute a parameter capable of exciting different retinal regions like different stimulus fields. According to the recent literature low spatial frequency stimuli generate VEP with latencies which are significantly shorter than high spatial frequency stimuli, making this method more reliable for the differentiation of macular and peripheral retinal fields.

Abstract

The Authors studied the checkerboard pattern electroretinogram (PERG) behaviour in normal subjects and in patients suffering from traumatic lesion of optic nerve, demyelinating optic neuritis, axonal optic neuritis, retinal vascular disorders and retinitis pigmentosa in order to verify the PERG origin. According to our data the PERG appears to originate from ganglion cells since the signal diminished or disappeared in axonal lesion of optic nerve, as a result of retrograde ganglion cell degeneration. Furthermore, the demyelinating lesions of optic nerve were not able to modify the PERG wave. In patients suffering from retinal receptor disturbances the flash electroretinogram (FERG), which is probably an expression of receptor activity, was greatly impaired, whereas PERGs were either normal or less impaired than FERGs. These data demonstrate the different origin of PERG and FERG.

6. [The effect of thoracic pressoreceptors on heart rate in man].

Abstract

Sinus arrhythmia (SA) is a physiological event related to the respiratory activity. The aim of this study was to find a relation between SA and different deep breathings. A transductor monitored the chest respiratory movements and a cardiotachometer calculated and plotted the instantaneous heart rate, synchronously during different breathing efforts. In 10 normal subjects a good linear correlation was found between the breathing depth and SA quantifying the relation between the chest receptor activity and SA also with limited chest expansion.
