The static load component in muscle work.

Abstract

By citing examples from actual work situations and discussing the concept of muscular endurance and fatigue this paper is intended to provide an account of past and current research on the "static" component of muscular load during work. By amplitude probability distribution analysis of electromyographic signals it is possible to estimate the "static level" of muscular load during work. Electromyographic studies of job rotation between different assembly tasks in electronic industries often show that there are quantitatively and qualitatively only small differences in muscular load between different tasks.

Single-molecule biomechanics with optical methods.

Single-molecule observation and manipulation have come of age. With the advent of optical tweezers and other methods for probing and imaging single molecules, investigators have circumvented the model-dependent extrapolation from ensemble assays that has been the hallmark of classical biochemistry and biophysics. In recent years, there have been important advances in the understanding of how motor proteins work. The range of these technologies has also started to expand into areas such as DNA transcription and protein folding. Here, recent experiments with rotary motors, linear motors, RNA polymerase, and titin are described.

[Controversy regarding the sequelae of minor craniocervical trauma with special reference to neurobiological aspects of cognitive disorders].

This paper focuses primarily on the biomechanical factors which may lead to a substantial brain-tissue lesion following cranio-cervical trauma. Emphasis is placed on pathoanatomical findings and clinical parameters in the assessment of trauma-severity. Results from previous research are highlighted to demonstrate close interrelationship between the severity of a trauma and neurological, psychological, neuropsychological sequelae or lesions visible by neuroimaging. Knowledge of this interrelationship clearly indicates the necessity of proper initial assessment to allow reliable prognosis of outcome and establishment of treatment strategies.
