## Abstract ## __Introduction:__ The mechanisms of fluoroquinoloneβinduced myotoxicity are unknown but an involvement of intracellular calcium handling is suspected. An __in vitro__ contracture test used to investigate cellular processes in malignant hyperthermia (MH) can be applied to study the e

Electromechanical properties of skeletal muscle were compared between malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible and control pigs. These muscle properties were studied both in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo time interval from nerve stimulation to onset of mechanical tension was longer in muscle of pigs
A four-day tumour chemosensitivity assay of potential use in predicting tumour response to cytotoxic drugs has been developed for haematological cancers. The method comprised isolation of white cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirates, drug exposure and incubation for 4 days. Drug-induce
