Ischemic and hyperventilation tests in 28 twins.

We examined ischemic and hyperventilation tests in 14 pairs of healthy twins. In 3 of them we found different results of positivity or negativity of these tests. Women had signs of higher irritability of the wave M than men as concerned latency, amplitude, duration; the strength of stimulus was significantly lower in females than in males.

Parameters of the wave M in 554 patients suspected of tetanic syndrome but with negative ischemic and hyperventilation tests.

We examined 554 patients with clinical suspicion of tetanic syndrome whose ischemic and hyperventilation tests were negative. We analysed the wave M before carrying out the tests with the following parameters: latency, amplitude, duration, shape and strength of stimulus. We could register higher irritability in women, in young persons, in course of years. We cannot register conspicuous changes during year seasons; the amplitude and the strength of stimulus were in middle correlation. We try to explain the significance of the polyphasic shape of the wave M where the desynchronization and repetitive activity are supposed to be the main causes. The relation between men and women was 1:2.2. Most patients were in the middle age group.

Parameters of the wave M in 398 patients with tetanic syndrome proved with positive ischemic or hyperventilation tests.

398 patients with clinical signs of tetanic syndrome were examined. Their ischemic and/or hyperventilation tests were positive. The parameters of the wave M were analysed i.e. latency, amplitude, duration, shape and strength of stimulus. The signs of higher irritability of the peripheral nervous system were found out in women; they diminished during age. The ratio between men and women was 1:3.6. The significant differences were determined between the groups of negative and positive tests. In the group of positive tests we noticed the dependence of the wave M on the positivity of ischemic, hyperventilation tests, on amount of multiplets during the ischemic test, on the seasons of year and on the course of the period of years (1970-1974 and 1975 to 1978). The highest irritability was determined in the subgroup of hyperventilation tetany and in the subgroup with cramps provoked during ischemic tests.
