Automatic pain recognition from Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal using machine learning techniques [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Physiological responses to pain have received increasing attention among researchers for developing an automated pain recognition sensing system. Though less explored, Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) is one of the candidate physiological measures that could help objective pain assessment. In this study, we applied machine learning techniques on BVP signals to

Hashing It Out: A Survey of Programmers' Cannabis Usage, Perception, and Motivation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Cannabis is one of the most common mind-altering substances. It is used both medicinally and recreationally and is enmeshed in a complex and changing legal landscape. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some software developers may use cannabis to aid some programming tasks.

One Year Follow-up of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Chronic Neuropathic Pain Following Amputation [PDF]
, 2019 INTRODUCTION Over 85% of patients experience residual limb (RLP) and/or phantom limb (PLP) pain following amputation. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a non-opioid approach to relieve postamputation neuropathic pain.

Recursive 3D Segmentation of Shoulder Joint with Coarse-scanned MR Image [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 For diagnosis of shoulder illness, it is essential to look at the morphology deviation of scapula and humerus from the medical images that are acquired from Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging. However, taking high-resolution MR images is time-consuming and costly because the reduction of the physical distance between image slices causes prolonged scanning

Administration of Tramadol or Buprenorphine via the drinking water for post-operative analgesia in a mouse-osteotomy model [PDF]
, 2019 Adequate analgesia is essential whenever pain might occur in animal experiments. Unfortunately, the selection of suitable analgesics for mice in bone-linked models is limited. Here, we evaluated two analgesics - Tramadol [0.1 mg/ml (Tlow) vs.

Design and Assessment of a Bimanual Haptic Epidural Needle Insertion Simulator [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The case experience of anesthesiologists is one of the leading causes of accidental dural punctures and failed epidurals - the most common complications of epidural analgesia used for pain relief during delivery. We designed a bimanual haptic simulator to train anesthesiologists and optimize epidural analgesia skill acquisition.
