The feasibility of combining communication BCIs with FES for individuals with locked-in syndrome [PDF]
Individuals with a locked-in state live with severe whole-body paralysis that limits their ability to communicate with family and loved ones. Recent advances in the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have presented a potential alternative for these people to communicate by detecting neural activity associated with attempted hand or speech ...

Clinical Efficacy of Electroneurography in Acute Facial Paralysis
The estimated incidence of acute facial paralysis is approximately 30 patients per 100000 populations annually. Facial paralysis is an extremely frightening situation and gives extreme stress to patients because obvious disfiguring face may cause ...

Implantable Self‐Powered Systems for Electrical Stimulation Medical Devices
In this paper, the design strategy and clinical application of ISS are discussed in depth from four aspects: the design and optimization of the energy collection module, the selection and preparation of adaptive electrode materials, the innovation of system design strategy, and the biological effect of electrical stimulation of ISS.

Is controlling a brain-computer interface just a matter of presence of mind? The limits of cognitive-motor dissociation [PDF]
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are presented as a solution for people with global paralysis, also known as locked-in syndrome (LIS). The targeted population includes the most severe patients, with no residual eye movements, who cannot use any communication device (Complete LIS).

High Fat Low Carbohydrate Diet Is Linked to CNS Autoimmunity Protection
Mapping global epidemiological data to macronutrient supply reveals high carbohydrate, in contrast to high fat supply, associates with increased multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence and incidence. This is confirmed in a mouse MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), using isocaloric diets: a high carbohydrate diet aggravates, a high ...

Single cell RNA sequencing after moderate traumatic brain injury: effects of therapeutic hypothermia
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a cascade of cellular and molecular events that promote acute and long-term patterns of neuronal, glial, vascular, and synaptic vulnerability leading to lasting neurological deficits. These complex responses lead to

NMDA Antagonist Peptide Supplementation Enhances Pain Alleviation by Adrenal Medullary Transplants
Spinal transplantation of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells has been shown to decrease pain responses in several animal models. Improved potency may be possible by engineering cells to produce greater levels of naturally derived analgesics.

After-Stroke Arm Paresis Detection using Kinematic Data [PDF]
This paper presents an approach for detecting unilateral arm paralysis/weakness using kinematic data. Our method employs temporal convolution networks and recurrent neural networks, guided by knowledge distillation, where we use inertial measurement units attached to the body to capture kinematic information such as acceleration, rotation, and flexion ...
