Stress, muscle

Buspirone is an extremely specific drug that could possibly represent a new chemical class of anxiolytics—azaspirones. As an anxiolytic, its activity is equal to that of benzodiazepines however, it is devoid of anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant properties, which are characteristic of benzodiazepines. It does not cause dependence or addiction. The mechanism of its action is not conclusively known. It does not act on the GABA receptors, which occurs in benzodiazepine use however, it has a high affinity for seratonin (5-HT) receptors and a moderate affinity for dopamine (D2) receptors. Buspirone is effective as an anxiolytic. A few side effects of buspirone include dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, nervousness, fatigue, and weakness. This drug is intended for treatment of conditions of anxiety in which stress, muscle pain, rapid heart rate, dizziness, fear, etc. are observed in other words, conditions of anxiety not associated with somewhat common, usual, and everyday stress. Synonyms for buspirone are anizal, axoren, buspar, buspimen, buspinol, narol, travin, and others.

More stress (muscle load) was imposed on the shoulder regions in the desk situation, when compared to lap positioning of the computer, whereas complaints in the shoulder-neck regions and EMG levels in the trapezius muscles increased as the vertical distance of the keyboard from the floor increases (Moffet et al., 2002).

Soft Tissue Injuries. Some of the more common soft tissue injuries are sprains, strains, contusions, tendonitis, bursitis, and stress injuries, caused by damaged tendons, muscles, and ligaments. A sprain is a soft tissue injury to the ligaments. Certain sprains are often associated with small fractures. This type of injury is normally associated with a localized trauma event. The severity of the sprain depends on how much of the ligament is torn and to what extent the ligament is detached from the bone. The areas of the human body that are most vulnerable to sprains are ankles, knees, and wrists. 

Episodic ataxia (EA) is an autosomal dominant disorder that brief episodes of ataxia can be triggered by physical or emotional stress. The symptom can occur several times during the day, last for seconds to minutes, and be associated with dysarthria and motor neuron activity, which causes muscle rippling (myokymia) between and during attacks. It is caused by a mutation in a neuronal voltage dependent Ca2+ channel. 

Figure 20. Artificial muscle under work. In reduction (A) electrons are injected into the polymer chains. Positive charges are annihilated. Counter-ions and water molecules are expelled. The polymer shrinks and compaction stress gradients appear at each point of the interface of the two polymers. The free end of the bilayer describes an angular movement toward the left side. (B) Opposite processes and movements occur under oxidation. (Reprinted from T. F. Otero and J. Rodriguez, in Intrinsically Conducting Polymers An Emerging Technology, M.

Figure 23. Artificial muscle formed by a three-layer polypyrrole-nonconducting tape-polypyrrole. The consumed charge works two times in this device when polypyrrole I is oxidized (anodic process), pushing the free end of the layer, polypyrrole II is reduced (cathodic process), trailing the layer. Stresses at the polymer/polymer interfaces are summarized in the box. (Reprinted from Handbook of Organic Conductive Molecules and Polymers, H.
