Are phonomyographic measurements of neuromuscular blockade similar to mechanomyography for hand muscles?
There was good agreement between mechanomyographic measurements at the adductor pollicis muscle and phonomyographic measurements at the thenar and the first dorsal interosseus muscles. Phonomyography of those two muscles could be used interchangeably with mechanomyography of adductor pollicis for clinical purposes.
These findings suggest that NO plays an important role in chronic cocaine-induced deregulation of the mPFC activity that may contribute to the development of behavioral sensitization and cocaine withdrawal.
