Electro-Physiology of Coupling Model and Its Impact on Naja Kaouthia Venom Treated Sciatic Nerves of Toad
Abstract:
Demyelination in peripheral nerves causes dysfunction of slowing down and stoppage of nerve impulses causing many neurological diseases, such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, etc. This paper aims to develop a recovery model having interaction of a demyelinated nerve with a normal myelinated nerve. We validated the model by coupling between peripheral nerve of toad (demyelinated with Naja kaouthia venom) and a normal nerve of toad. An increase in both nerve conduction velocity as well as compound action potential amplitude is observed in the repetition of the experiments indicating gradual recovery of the patients. The significance behind this work is to suppress the malfunctioning of the demyelinated nerve by the normal electro-physiological activity of the normal nerve for speedy recovery using coupling model. The recovery model will be used in the treatment of neurological disorders with the influence of normal neuro physiological properties of a normal adjacent nerve.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
