Sentence examples for peak contraction from inspiring English sources

These indicate that senescent laryngeal muscle contractions are generally of reduced force, require more time to reach peak contraction, and also need more time for recovery prior to initiation of the next contraction.49, 50 These factors could contribute to reductions in motor performance required for swallowing actions.

Early lateral wall pre-stretch and delayed lateral wall peak contraction emerged in all patients with LBBB but early septal peak contraction meeting the established criteria was present in only one patient.The onset of LBBB led to acute, measurable changes in the regional longitudinal strain pattern consisting of early lateral wall pre-stretch and delayed lateral wall peak contraction.

This is the point at which the peak instantaneous energy in the wave packet occurs, as well as the time duration of the peak contraction and the frequency bandwidth of the same contraction.

Thus, as I noted earlier, the rate of the advanced economies' economic contraction will slow down from the peak contraction of this year's first quarter (-6%) to a more modest contraction in the fourth quarter (-2%) and a very weak positive growth (0% to 1% in U.S., Europe and Japan) in 2010 with still sharply rising unemployment rates peaking at 10% in these advanced economies.

At concentrations of L-Mee ≥1 mM we observed a reduction in peak contraction amplitude and a diminished ability for tissue recovery after washout of drug; tissues treated with 10 mM L-Mee failed to contract or relax (data not shown).

In contrast, time to peak contraction was not affected by chronic insulin stimulation (data not shown).

While one investigation showed that peak contractions are not affected by GDX [ 91], another found that peak responses are attenuated by testosterone deprivation [ 99].

Furthermore, chronic testosterone treatment (24 h in culture) enhances peak contractions, measured as unloaded cell shortening, in isolated rat cardiomyocytes [ 97].

Interestingly, studies that report no change in peak contractions and Ca2+ transients after GDX [ 76, 91] use external Ca2+ concentrations and pacing frequencies far below physiological for rats (e.g., 1 mM Ca2+; 0.2–0.5 Hz).

By contrast, Curl et al. [ 99], who also used low-pacing rates (e.g., 0.5 Hz), used a range of external Ca2+ concentrations (e.g., 0.5 2 mM) and found that peak contractions and Ca2+ transients declined after GDX, especially at higher external Ca2+ concentrations (Table  4).

Those patients who did develop LBBB showed significant increase in their difference of time-to-onset of contraction between the septal and lateral walls post-TAVR (22 ± 14 ms vs 111 ± 49 ms; p=0.003) and in their difference of time-to-peak contraction between the septal and lateral walls post-TAVR (63 ± 56 ms vs 133 ± 46 ms; p=0.002).
