Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Control Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity After Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Procedimiento de Enfermería en la implantación de marcapasos transvenoso temporal.

NURE Investigación, 2013
La implantación de marcapasos transvenoso temporal (MPTT) es una técnica que consiste en estimular de forma artificial el corazón cuando los marcapasos naturales no pueden mantener el ritmo y la frecuencia adecuados.

The Neurophysiological Effects of Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation With and Without a High Frequency Carrier in Able‐Bodied Adults

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The Neurophysiological Effects of Cervical tSCS With and Without a High Frequency Carrier in Healthy Adults. kHz‐tSCS presents a less efficient waveform. In FCR, spinal inhibition was observed following sham and conv‐tSCS. kHz‐tSCS appeared to prevent FCR spinal inhibition.

Repetitive Grasping After Stroke Assisted by Functional Electrical Stimulation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
To understand whether FES can be useful in assisting functional grasping after stroke, the following requirements were investigated: (i) producing sufficient force, (ii) sustaining this force for an adequate duration, (iii) successfully releasing the object, and (iv) monitoring the onset of muscle fatigue during repetitive grasping.

Neurophysiological Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Chronic Complete Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
TESCS‐ABT induced neurophysiological changes in individuals with chronic complete SCI, however these did not consistently translate into functional improvements. These findings highlight the role of residual supraspinal connectivity and inform future research to optimise this neurotechnology for SCI rehabilitation and identify likely responders ...

EVOLUTION OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS FROM CAVEFISH. [PDF]

, 2010
Evolution has been strongly influenced by the daily cycles of temperature and light imposed by the rotation of the Earth. Fascinating demonstrations of this are seen in extreme environments such as caves where some animals have remained completely ...

Machine Learning‐Based Prediction of Life‐Threatening Complications During Hemodialysis in Hospitalized Patients With Poor General Conditions

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A machine learning model using predialysis data predicted sudden events during or after hemodialysis with high accuracy (auROC: 0.889). The key predictors included emergency hospitalization, recent surgery, high heart rate, low albumin levels, and high CRP.

A Comparison Study Between Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Transverse placement of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes across muscle fibers elicits localized contractions, facilitating greater active stretching (AS) of regions containing myofascial trigger points. This EMS + AS approach mimics passive stretching, with EMS providing resistance force similar to that typically applied by a therapist's ...

Effect of Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined With Physical Exercise on Electron Transport Chain Activity in Peripheral Blood Cells of Stroke Patients

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Stroke induces mitochondrial dysfunction and motor disorders. FES combined with physical exercises can help restore mitochondrial function by regulating the formation of reactive oxygen species and, consequently, contributing to functional recovery. ABSTRACT Background Stroke is commonly accompanied by motor disorders secondary to the initial injury ...

Influence of Pacemaker Artifacts on Deep Neural Networks for ECG Classification

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Patients with pacemakers represent a high-risk group for cardiovascular events. While deep learning has recently shown promising results in detecting many abnormalities in electrocardiograms (ECGs), little attention has been paid to its performance in ...
