AM-FM texture segmentation in electron microscopic muscle imaging
(2000)This paper describes the application of an amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) image representation in segmenting electron micrographs of skeletal muscle for the recognition of: 1) normal sarcomere ultrastructural ...

Article
Autoregressive and cepstral analyses of motor unit action potentials
(1999)Quantitative electromyographic signal analysis in the time domain for motor unit action potential (MUAP) classification and disease identification has been well documented over recent years. Considerable work has also been ...

Article
A correlative study of quantitative EMG and biopsy findings in 31 patients with myopathies
(2011)A direct correlation of QEMG with muscle biopsy findings might help delineate the sensitivity of QEMG in identifying muscle pathology as well as provide information on electrophysiological-histological correlations. In a ...

Differential expression of the rat retinoid X receptor γ gene during skeletal muscle differentiation suggests a role in myogenesis
(1997)Even though previous studies have shown that transcripts encoding the murine retinoid X receptor γ (RXRγ) are present in skeletal muscle of mouse embryos and that cultured myoblasts are induced to differentiate upon retinoid ...

Down-regulation of glutatione S-transferase α 4 (hGSTA4) in the muscle of thermally injured patients is indicative of susceptibility to bacterial infection
(2012)Patients with severe burns are highly susceptible to bacterial infection. While immunosuppression facilitates infection, the contribution of soft tissues to infection beyond providing a portal for bacterial entry remains ...

In vivo high-resolution magic angle spinning proton NMR spectroscopy of Drosophila melanogaster flies as a model system to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction in Drosophila GST2 mutants
(2014)In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), a non-destructive biochemical tool used for investigating live organisms, has recently been performed in studies of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a useful ...

Article
Involvement of skeletal muscle gene regulatory network in susceptibility to wound infection following trauma
(2007)Despite recent advances in our understanding the pathophysiology of trauma, the basis of the predisposition of trauma patients to infection remains unclear. A Drosophila melanogaster/Pseudomonas aeruginosa injury and ...

Article
A morphological analysis of the macro motor unit potential
(1999)The technique of macro EMG is used to investigate the motor unit architecture in a number of pathological conditions. Amplitude and area are the most commonly used criteria, but these parameters alone are not sufficient ...

Article
Multiscale entropy-based approach to automated surface EMG classification of neuromuscular disorders
(2010)We introduce a novel method for an automatic classification of subjects to those with or without neuromuscular disorders. This method is based on multiscale entropy of recorded surface electromyograms (sEMGs) and support ...

Parental origin-specific developmental defects in mice with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12
(2000)Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted

Article
Surface EMG analysis on normal subjects based on isometric voluntary contraction
(2009)The objective of this study was to compute reference SEMG values for normal subjects of 13 parameters extracted in the time, frequency and bispectrum domain, from the Biceps Brachii (BB) muscle generated under isometric ...

Article
Time-scale analysis of motor unit action potentials
(1999)Quantitative analysis in clinical electromyography (EMG) is very desirable because it allows a more standardized, sensitive and specific evaluation of the neurophysiological findings, especially for the assessment of ...

Article
Unsupervided pattern recognition for the classification of EMG signals
(1999)The shapes and firing rates of motor unit action potentials (MUAP's) in an electromyographic (EMG) signal provide an important source of information for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. In order to extract this ...
