Analysis of Pain Hemodynamic Response Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol. 7, No. 2, April 2015, 2015
Despite recent advances in brain research, understanding the various signals for pain and pain intensities in the brain cortex is still a complex task due to temporal and spatial variations of brain hemodynamics. In this paper we have investigated pain based on cerebral hemodynamics via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

Mathematical models for pain: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
There is no single prevailing theory of pain that explains its origin, qualities, and alleviation. Although many studies have investigated various molecular targets for pain management, few have attempted to examine the etiology or working mechanisms of pain through mathematical or computational techniques.

A Case of Interstitial Cystitis With Hunner Lesions Involving Bilateral Ureters

open access: yesIJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Interstitial cystitis with Hunner lesion (IC/HL) is an enigmatic, chronic inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder. Few documented cases have reported the IC/HL involving the upper urinary tract. Case Presentation A 51‐year‐old Japanese woman with IC/HL developed bilateral ureteral stenosis and associated hydronephrosis ...

Pain Intensity Estimation from Mobile Video Using 2D and 3D Facial Keypoints [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Managing post-surgical pain is critical for successful surgical outcomes. One of the challenges of pain management is accurately assessing the pain level of patients. Self-reported numeric pain ratings are limited because they are subjective, can be affected by mood, and can influence the patient's perception of pain when making comparisons.
