"A Commentary to Longus, ""Daphnis and Chloe,"" Book 3"
Longus' pastoral romance is one of only five complete and extant pieces of extended fiction from antiquity, which form a genre now regularly referred to as the Ancient Novel. Book 3 (of 4) is pivotal in many ways for Daphnis and Chloe as a whole, acting as a hinge connecting the first two books …

Effects of Neuromuscular Training on the Dynamic Restraint Characteristics of the Ankle
… delay (EMD) and reaction time of the peroneus longus muscle.</p> <p><strong>Design and Setting:</strong> The study was guided by a 2 x 2 factorial design with repeated measures on the time factor. The independent variables for this study were group (training and control) and time (pre- and …

Flexion and Extension : Studies Employing Muscles of the Shank in Amphibians
Tibialis anticus and peronaeus longus of the frog have been examined by optical and electron microscopy. Sodium and potassium concentrations of these muscles have been determined. Double myograms have been used to compare physiological and pharmacological properties of flexor and extensor and to …

In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of Leucine on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis and Degradation
… oxidative muscle and the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), a fast-twitch, glycolytic muscle.

Frustrated desire and controlling fictions : the natural world in ancient pastoral literature and art
… pastoral literature of Theocritus, Virgil, and Longus. First, the locus amoenus describes a pleasing botanical place that can create a narrative frame around depictions of desire or can inspire desire itself. The visuality of the descriptions of loca amoena is then compared with examples from …

Variations in the insertions of the tibialis posterior muscle and the structure of the medial longitudinal arch
… flexor hallucis brevis muscle (22.4%), fibularis longus tendon (58.6%), plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament (17.2%), and the long plantar ligament (34.5%). The frequencies for each variable insertion were also reported individually for sex and population group, as well as the most common …

The effect of foot orthoses on muscle activity and morphology, foot biomechanics and skin sensitivity
… and possibly increase activity of peroneus longus in mid-late stance, while not altering activity of other lower limb muscles. Findings concerning the peroneus longus were limited by previous reports of the poor reliability of EMG recordings from this muscle. A reliability study was …

Effektivität und Wirksamkeit einer funktionell-dynamischen Schuheinlagenversorgung im Sport
… und einer erhöhten Aktivität des M. peroneus longus vermutet werden kann. Bei der Frage des präventiven Effektes einer Schuheinlage unterschied sich die Zahl der Beschwerdeauftritte nicht zwischen der Kontroll- und der Einlagengruppe (p>0.05). Dabei waren nur sehr geringe Anpassungen des …

Non-invasive detection of the electromyographic activity of the deep extrinsic thumb muscles using surface electrodes
… the deep extrinsic thumb muscles Flexor Pollicis Longus (FPL), Extensor Pollicis Longus (EPL), Extensor Pollicis Brevis (EPB) and Abductor Pollicis Longus (APL) using surface electrodes. Methods: High density monopolar EMG was detected from 2 concentric rings, each consisting of 20 custom designed …

The effect of dietary creatine supplementation on compensatory muscle hypertrophy and performance characteristics of specific fiber types
… ablated, to hypertrophy the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and two groups the gastrocnemius and the plantaris ablated, to hypertrophy the soleus. One of each of these groups had their diet supplemented with creatine monohydrate. The size of the EDL and soleus were measured following surgical …

Effect of Chronic Alcohol Abuse and Resistance Training on the Skeletal Muscle Androgen Receptor Concentration of Rats
… training on the AR of the extensor digitorum longus. For the rectus femoris, alcohol caused a decline in the AR (p=0.01). This reduction was not attenuated by resistance training. The AR of the soleus was not affected by chronic alcohol abuse alone; however, the resistance training induced …

Phosphorylation of Skeletal Muscle Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Phosphatase in Response to Insulin Stimulation
… skeletal muscle. Intact rat extensor digitorum longus muscles were incubated (oxygenated at 25°C, 1g of tension) for 30min in basal or insulin–stimulated (10 mU/mL) media. PDH activity increased 58% following stimulation, (p=0.057, n=11). Serine phosphorylation of PDP1 (p=0.047) and PDP2 …

TIME COURSE OF SIGNALING PROCESSES INVOLVED WITH EXTRACELLULAR OSMOTIC - INDUCED GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN MAMMALIAN SKELETAL MUSCLE
… skeletal muscle. Rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were excised and incubated in a media formulated to mimic ISO (290 ± 10 mmol/kg) or HYPER (400 ± 10 mmol/kg) extracellular condition (Sigma Media-199). Signaling mechanisms were investigated by determining the phosphorylation …

The Role of Membrane Lipid Composition on Skeletal Muscle Damage in the Rodent Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
… hypothesized to be greater in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) at 20 weeks compared to soleus (SOL) at 10 weeks in dystrophin deficient (mdx) mice. Increased saturation was correlated to damage in EDL at both 10 and 20 weeks, with stronger correlations at 10 weeks. The results suggest that membrane …

Functional morphology of the anthropoid talocrural joint
… groove for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle on the talus, and a more anteriorly oriented posterior talar facet on the calcaneus, have been hypothesized to reflect a greater emphasis on vertical climbing in anthropoids. This research evaluated these features in extant …

Ultraschalldiagnostik am Karpalgelenk des Rindes
… at a time. Only the musculus abductor pollicis longus had to be examined in an oblique direction. The examination procedure was applied to 11 carpal joints of healthy cattle of all ages and sexes. The carpal flexor and extensor tendons, partially their tendon sheaths, the medial and lateral …

Efficacy of Hammerstein models in capturing the dynamics of isometric muscle stimulated at various frequencies
… between 1 to 100Hz. Explanted frog plantaris longus muscle is tested at the nominal isometric length only; hence, the muscle's force-length and force-velocity dependences are neither assumed nor ascertained. The pilot data are fitted using ten different models consisting of various …

Kinematic study of human ankle control during walking
… electromyogram of anterior tibialis, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius muscles was also recorded. Results showed that all subjects plantarflexed their foot at a higher velocity after heel-strike while walking than when moving at their maximum voluntary speed. This implies that this motion …

Effects of Fatigue & Gender on Peroneal Reflexes After Ankle Inversion
… and gender on peroneus brevis and peroneus longus reflexes after ankle inversion. A "trap-door" platform was used to elicit peroneal reflexes from sixteen males and fifteen females by suddenly inverting the ankle to 20°. Five unfatigued peroneal reflex measurements were performed before and …
