  • Publication number: 20190194220
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.

  • Publication number: 20180274904
    Abstract: A film thickness measuring apparatus includes a displacement sensor, and a film thickness calculator that includes a first processor, a second processor, and a third processor. The displacement sensor detects displacement of a sheet in its thickness direction at a location opposite to a portion of a terahertz scanner from which a terahertz wave is applied to a conveyance path. In accordance with a detection signal provided by the displacement sensor, the first processor determines the speed of displacement of the sheet in its thickness direction while the sheet is conveyed along the conveyance path. In accordance with the speed of displacement, the second processor corrects a scan waveform acquired by the terahertz scanner. In accordance with the peaks of the intensity of the terahertz wave that appear in the scan waveform corrected by the second processor, the third processor calculates the thickness of a film formed on the sheet.
