Automatic Ultrasound Image Segmentation of Supraclavicular Nerve Using Dilated U-Net Deep Learning Architecture [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Automated object recognition in medical images can facilitate medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we automatically segmented supraclavicular nerves in ultrasound images to assist in injecting peripheral nerve blocks. Nerve blocks are generally used for pain treatment after surgery, where ultrasound guidance is used to inject local ...

Ultrasound-guided repetitive pulsed peripheral magnetic stimulation provides pain relief in refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A case report

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Pain, 2023
Aims Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) is a novel nonpharmacological treatment modality. This noninvasive approach can stimulate peripheral nerves to provide analgesia through neuromodulation. We report the first case of ultrasound-guided

The important consequences of the reversible heat production in nerves and the adiabaticity of the action potential [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology 162 (2021) 26-40, 2020
It has long been known that there is no measurable heat production associated with the nerve pulse. Rather, one finds that heat production is biphasic, and a heat release during the first phase of the action potential is followed by the reabsorption of a similar amount of heat during the second phase.

New Horizons for Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: 2025 and Beyond

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
The advances achieved against multiple sclerosis (MS) represent one of the great success stories of modern molecular medicine. The development of therapies with increasing selectivity and safety, guided by gains in understanding the fundamental immunology, neurobiology, genetics, and triggers of this disease, have broadened the traditional focus on ...
