Muscle is electrically inexcitable in acute quadriplegic myopathy
Abstract
We directly stimulated muscle in three patients with acute quadriplegic myopathy to determine whether paralyzed muscle in this syndrome is electrically excitable. Two of the patients had been treated with neuromuscular blocking agents and corticosteroids, and one patient had been treated with corticosteroids alone. We found that paralyzed muscle is electrically inexcitable in affected patients. Muscle regained electrical excitability over weeks to months. The recovery of muscle excitability paralleled the clinical recovery of patients, suggesting that paralysis in this syndrome is secondary to electrical inexcitability of muscle membrane.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
