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.

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 ...

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.

Evaluation of Death among the Patients Undergoing Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: A Competing Risks Analysis

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2017
Background: Permanent artificial pacemaker is one of the important therapies for treatment of cardiac conduction system problems. The present study aimed to determine the association between some predictive variables and all-cause and cause-specific ...

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.

Survey of ST-Segment Changes due to Active Lead Fixation during Permanent Pacemaker Device Implantation as a Prognostic Indicator of its Performance

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2017
Background: Active lead implantation can create injury in myocardium that may be associated with a ST-segment elevation. This ST-segment elevation may be correlated with changes in other parameters such as threshold, sense, amplitude, impedance, and ...

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 ...

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.
