What is the Rapid Threshold Procedure in monofilament testing?
Cbipace
When using monofilaments to determine nerve health, the Rapid Threshold Procedure is a method promoted by Connecticut Bioinstruments to quickly find a threshold. It relies on the proper calibration of the monofilaments, including the inability to confound pain and touch sensations.

What is a rapid repetitive series of threshold stimuli leading to a single fused sustained contraction?
Sumation of contraction
Is it just one simple blood test to see if are HIV positive?
Your HIV testing experience may vary depending on where you seek services. Standard testing procedure for many HIV testing sites involve a two-step process. Rapid response, oral HIV testing is available in many locations. The test collects a cell sample from the gums and detects antibodies associated with HIV infection. If a rapid response test is reactive for HIV antibodies, a person is considered "preliminarily positive" for HIV infection. After an initial positive, the most common confirmatory tests may be administered orally or by blood draw. Getting tested for HIV is a very sexually responsible behavior. Good luck!
What color tube for rapid plasma reagin?
The rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test typically requires a red or gold-topped tube for blood collection. These tubes contain no anticoagulants and are used to obtain serum samples for testing. It's important to follow specific laboratory protocols for accurate testing.
A rapid repetitive series of threshold stimuli leading to a single fused sustained contraction is A summation of stimuli B treppe C tetanus D sumation of contraction?
a. summation of stimuli
Is an action spike an impulse created by an excitable membrane when it reaches the threshold?
Yes, an action potential spike is generated when the membrane potential of a neuron reaches a certain threshold, causing a rapid depolarization and repolarization of the membrane. This creates a brief electrical impulse that propagates along the neuron's axon.
Can action potentials be summated?
Yes, action potentials can be summated when multiple sub-threshold stimuli are received in rapid succession, causing the neuron to reach threshold and fire an action potential. This process of summation can lead to greater depolarization and stronger signals being sent along the neuron.
What does threshold mean in a muscle or nerve cell membrane?
In muscle or nerve cell membranes, the threshold refers to the minimum level of stimulation needed to trigger an action potential, which is the electrical signal that allows these cells to communicate and function. Once the threshold is reached, it initiates a rapid depolarization of the cell membrane, leading to the propagation of the action potential.
Is there a rapid HIV test?
No. Not in the United States. There are over-the-counter testing kits avialable at some drug stores. The kits are usually expensive and require mailing samples to be processed in a lab. Rapid response tests require training about test delivery, storage and maintenance that would create an issue in a retail setting. It is also recommended to have a medical professional or counselor present when receiving a test result. There are many testing locations that offer free, anonymous rapid response HIV testing. Rapid response tests are extremely accurate and provide results in as little as 20 minutes. If you are not familiar with the resources or are having a hard time finding them in your area, please don't hesitate to follow-up. I would be happy to assist you.
If you were able to artificially alter the membrane permeability of pacemaker cells so that sodium in flux is more rapid what would happen?
threshold is reached more quickly and heart rate would increase
what do we have to do to get a government grant?
There is only one center that is within your threshold it is the Rapid Recovery Institute in Fort Lee NJ, their phone number is 888-338-6948. From what I can tell, whatever the drug, they can get it out of the body.
Is bactometer a rapid testing or traditional testing method?
Bactometer is a rapid testing method used for microbiological analysis, particularly for detecting bacterial growth and quantification. It can provide results in hours compared to traditional culture methods, which can take days.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
reaches a certain threshold level of depolarization, typically around -55 mV. This threshold is reached when excitatory signals outweigh inhibitory signals received by the neuron. Once the threshold is reached, voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing a rapid influx of sodium ions and causing depolarization of the cell membrane, leading to an action potential.
