| The ratio of peak twitch force to peak tetanic force could then be calculated. |
|
| Moreover, angiotensin II infusion has been shown to increase tetanic tension in rat hind-limb preparations. |
|
| Clearly, tetanic stimulation of the quadriceps muscle is not feasible in unanesthetized human subjects. |
|
| Three days after being given intravenous zoledronic acid, he had tetanic spasms and paraesthesia. |
|
| The diaphragm muscle specimens showed complete tetanic contractions in response to a train of electrical pulses at room temperature. |
|
| Tetanus infection can cause production of a neurotoxin, leading to tetanic muscle contractions. |
|
| However, the changes in mouse muscle seem to be complete within 100-120 ms, i.e., no later than the achievement of the tetanic plateau. |
|
| The abscissa indicates the time after the start of tetanic stimulation. |
|
| At the first sign of overdosage, such as tetanic contractions or fetal distress, Pitocin should be discontinued, and the patient treated with symptomatic and support therapy. |
|
| This condition of muscle, this fusion of a number of simple spasms into an apparently smooth, continuous effort, is known as tetanus, or tetanic contraction. |
