Central sensory-motor deficit after uneventful single-dose spinal morphine administration in a patient with preexisting migraine headaches.

30 Oct 2009 Hemiplegic migraine is a condition associated with vascular alteration of the central nervous system and transient neurologic deficits. Permanent morphine-induced motor dysfunction has been reported after spinal ischemia. We report a persisting ... Read more...

Microvascular oxygen delivery-to-utilization mismatch at the onset of heavy-intensity exercise in optimally treated patients with CHF.

2 Sep 2009 Impaired muscle blood flow at the onset of heavy-intensity exercise may transiently reduce microvascular O(2) pressure and decrease the rate of O(2) transfer from capillary to mitochondria in chronic heart failure (CHF). However, advances in the ... Read more...

Changes in the mechanical properties of human quadriceps muscle after eccentric exercise.

30 Aug 2009 Muscular adaptation which occurs following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage has been associated with changes in the mechanical properties of muscle manifested as a shift in the length-tension relationship towards longer muscle lengths. ... Read more...
