Neuroprotection by chitosan nanoparticles in oxidative stress-mediated injury
BMC Research Notes, 2018 Objective Oxidative stress is a critical component of nervous system secondary injury. Oxidative stress produces toxic chemical byproducts including reactive aldehydes that traverse intact membranes and attack neighboring healthy cells.

Automatic Facial Paralysis Estimation with Facial Action Units [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Facial palsy is unilateral facial nerve weakness or paralysis of rapid onset with unknown causes. Automatically estimating facial palsy severeness can be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of people suffering from it across the world. In this work, we develop and experiment with a novel model for estimating facial palsy severity.

On the Coupling between Helium Settling and Rotation-Induced Mixing in Stellar Radiative Zones: II- Application to light elements in population I main-sequence stars [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 587 (2003) 795-805, 2003 In the two previous papers of this series, we have discussed the importance of t he $\mu$-gradients due to helium settling on rotation-induced mixing, first in a n approximate analytical way, second in a 2D numerical simulation. We have found that, for slowly rotating low mass stars, a process of ``creeping paralysis" in which the circulation and the ...

Mimetic Muscle Rehabilitation Analysis Using Clustering of Low Dimensional 3D Kinect Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Facial nerve paresis is a severe complication that arises post-head and neck surgery; This results in articulation problems, facial asymmetry, and severe problems in non-verbal communication. To overcome the side effects of post-surgery facial paralysis, rehabilitation requires which last for several weeks. This paper discusses an unsupervised approach

Noninvasive Reactivation of Motor Descending Control after Paralysis.
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2015 The present prognosis for the recovery of voluntary control of movement in patients diagnosed as motor complete is generally poor. Herein we introduce a novel and noninvasive stimulation strategy of painless transcutaneous electrical enabling motor ...
