Abstract:

The influence of a pair of stimuli generated in a short time sequence (doublet) at the beginning of stimulation on the time course of the following tetanus was investigated. Experiments were performed on single motor units in rat's medial gastrocnemius. The doublet evoked an increase in tetanic tension, tetanic fusion and the area under tension record. These effects were measured in tetani fused to varying degrees. It was found that for all types of motor units the strongest influence of the doublet was observed in half- fused tetani. Moreover, the doublet influenced the first part of tetanus

Sag was consistently detected in motor units with unpotentiated twitch contraction times <20 ms. However, the range of frequencies at which sag was expressed varied among

Abstract:

Tetanus is a neurologic disease of humans and animals characterized by spastic paralysis. Tetanus is caused by tetanus toxin (TeNT) produced by Clostridium tetani, an environmental soilborne, gram-positive, sporulating bacterium. The disease most often results from wound contamination by soil containing C. tetani spores. Horses, sheep, and humans are highly sensitive to TeNT, whereas cattle, dogs, and cats are more resistant. The diagnosis of tetanus is mainly based on the characteristic clinical signs. Identification of C. tetani at the wound site is often difficult.

ABSTRACT. Tetanus arises from wound contamination with Clostridium tetani, but approximately one fifth of patients have no discernable entry wound. Clostridium tetani is culturable from animal feces, suggesting the gastrointestinal tract could be an endogenous reservoir or direct-entry portal, but human data are lacking. In this study of 101 Vietnamese adults with tetanus and 29 hospitalized control subjects, admission stool samples were cultured for C. tetani. Anti-tetanus toxin antibodies were measured by ELISA.

Abstract:

Cephalic tetanus is a localized form of tetanus. As in generalized forms , trismus is a prominent feature of the disease, leading to considerable difficulty in feeding, swallowing of the saliva and mouth hygiene. These difficulties often precede respiratory problems and aspiration bronchopneumonia is a frequent life-threatening complication. Muscle relaxants other than curare drugs may show a limited benefit for relieving trismus. Tetanospasmin, the tetanic neurotoxin, and botulinum toxin share many similarities, having a closely related chemical structure, an origin from related microorganism

Abstract:

Tetanus is a disease of the nervous system characterised by muscle spasms caused by toxins produced by an anaerobic bacterium called Clostridium tetani (C. tetani) found in soil. These muscle spasms may occur frequently in the jaw and neck but may also be generalised throughout the body. The diagnosis can be made clinically and by history. The causative agent of tetanus, C. tetani, produces toxins that trigger muscle contractions after contamination from saliva, faeces, contaminated products and soil. Tetanus is a disease that can be prevented by vaccination. In case of a possible tetanus risk

Abstract:

Clostridium tetani is the etiological agent of tetanus, a life-threatening bacterial infection. The most efficient protection strategy against tetanus is a vaccination with the C. tetani neurotoxin, which is inactivated by formaldehyde-crosslinking. Since we assumed that besides the tetanus toxin, other proteins of C. tetani may also be present in toxoid preparations, we analyzed commercially available vaccines from different countries in respect to their protein content using mass spectrometry. In total 991 proteins could be identified in all five analyzed vaccines, 206 proteins were common i

Abstract:

Tetanus is an acute disease that affects the central nervous system caused by tetanospasmin toxin produced by Clostridium tetani. Tetanus is a deadly disease in developing countries, killing approximately 500,000 people per year. This is due to lack of hygiene, easy contamination, poor wound care, lack of public awareness of the importance of hygiene and tetanus vaccination. In general, tetanus is characterized by rigidity, muscle spasm and autonomic disorders. Spasms almost always occur in the neck and jaw muscles causing jaw closure (trismus, lockjaw) and involve not only the extremity muscl

Abstract:

Introduction: Tetanus, a severe neurologic disorder caused by Clostridium tetani neurotoxin, presents with progressive muscle rigidity and spasms. Grade III tetanus, characterized by generalized tetanus with severe spasms, carries a high mortality risk. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has emerged as an adjunctive therapy to remove circulating toxins and inflammatory mediators. Case presentation: We report a 50-year-old male with grade III tetanus following a minor injury. Despite standard treatment with tetanus immunoglobulin, antibiotics, and muscle relaxants, his condition deteriorated, ne

Background. Tetanus is an acute disease caused by a neurotoxin produced byClostridium tetani. Tetanus immunization has been available since the late 1930s but sporadic cases still occur, usually in incompletely vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals.Case Report.

Abstract:

The effectiveness of dantrolene sodium in controlling tetanic spasms was evaluated in 21 children (aged 4 days-13 years) with tetanus. These dantrolene-treated patients were compared with an historical control group of 26 children previously treated for tetanus by traditional means at the same institution. The groups were comparable in terms of age, other treatments, and severity of disease. All patients received standard treatments for tetanus, including sedatives, antibiotics, and tetanus-immune globulin. Patients in the dantrolene-treated group also received dantrolene, either intravenously

Tetanus is an infectious nervous system disease characterized by increased muscle tone, caused by the toxin of the bacterium Clostridium tetani (C. tetani). Tetanus infection generally starts from contaminated open wounds. However,we have found an unexpected consequence of tetanus with odontogenic infection as a potential port of entry. A sixty-year-old male patient with a cavity in the second molar of the lower right region complained of weakness and fever since one day before admission to the hospital. The patient's tetanus immunization status was unknown. On the first day of treatment, the

Otogenic tetanus is a subtype of cephalic tetanus, limited to the head & neck, but can progress to a more generalized form. Caused by the spore-forming bacillus, Clostridium tetani, It produces a potent toxin, tetanospasmin, preventing inhibitory neurotransmitters' release, hence causing rigidity.

Abstract:

The action of the tranquilizer diazepam on rat skeletal muscle showed that relaxation of isometric twitches is controlled by different processes in extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) and soleus (slow-twitch) muscles. Diazepam caused an increase in the amplitude of twitches in fibres from both muscles but increased the twitch duration only in soleus. The amplitude of fused tetani were reduced in both muscles and the rate of relaxation after the tetanus slowed by as much as 34% when the amplitude of the tetanus was reduced by only 11%. The slower tetanic relaxation indicated that calcium up

AbstractTetanus is a neurologic non-transmissible disease (often fatal) of humans and other animals with a worldwide occurrence. Clostridium tetani is the spore producing bacillus which causes the bacterial disease. In deep penetrating wounds the spores germinate and produce a toxin called tetanospasmin. The main characteristic sign of tetanus is a spastic paralysis. A diagnosis is usually based on the clinical signs because the detection in the wound and the cultivation of C. tetani is very difficult. Between animal species there is considerable variability in the susceptibility to the bacill

Tetanus, an infection caused by the gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacillus Clostridium tetani, is still prevalent in developing countries. Fever is an unusual symptom in tetanus. The disease must be managed by preventing tetanospasmin absorption, treating symptoms, stabilizing autonomic instability, using antibiotics, and controlling the airway with assisted ventilation if necessary. We present a case report of a tetanus patient who had persistent pyrexia despite ruling out all the obvious causes of fever ,that coincide with the persistence of muscle spasms and/or use of prolonged duration
