A review of current theories and treatments for phantom limb pain

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2018
Following amputation, most amputees still report feeling the missing limb and often describe these feelings as excruciatingly painful. Phantom limb sensations (PLS) are useful while controlling a prosthesis; however, phantom limb pain (PLP) is a ...

Motor Control and Sensory Feedback Enhance Prosthesis Embodiment and Reduce Phantom Pain After Long-Term Hand Amputation

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
We quantified prosthesis embodiment and phantom pain reduction associated with motor control and sensory feedback from a prosthetic hand in one human with a long-term transradial amputation. Microelectrode arrays were implanted in the residual median and

Estimation of anatomical dimensions of the thorax from computed tomography images of the adult and pediatric Indian population for developing optimal radiological protocols

Journal of Medical Physics, 2021
Purpose: Ionizing radiation has been extensively used for medical diagnosis since its discovery in 1895; however, excessive use can lead to deleterious effects.

Multisensory bionic limb to achieve prosthesis embodiment and reduce distorted phantom limb perceptions

Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2018
A major goal of neuroprosthetics is to design artificial limbs that are experienced (‘embodied’) like real limbs. However, despite important technological advances, this goal has not been reached and prosthesis embodiment is still very limited ...

Unifying phantom inflation with late-time acceleration: scalar phantom-non-phantom transition model and generalized holographic dark energy

, 2005
The unifying approach to early-time and late-time universe based on phantom cosmology is proposed. We consider gravity-scalar system which contains usual potential and scalar coupling function in front of kinetic term.

Inflation is the generic feature of phantom field-not the big-rip [PDF]

, 2006
A class of solutions for phantom field corresponding to a generalized k-essence lagrangian has been presented, employing a simple method which provides the scope to explore many such.

Crossing the phantom divide without phantom matter [PDF]

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2006
A class of braneworld models can lead to phantom-like acceleration of the late universe, but without the need for any phantom matter. In the simplest models, the universe contains only cold dark matter and a cosmological constant. We generalize these models by introducing a quintessence field. The new feature in our models is that quintessence leads to

Evaluation of advective solute infiltration into porous media by pulsed focused ultrasound-induced acoustic streaming effects [PDF]

Ultrasonography
Purpose Acoustic streaming induced by applying transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) promotes localized advective solute transport in the brain and has recently garnered research interest for drug delivery and enhancement of brain waste clearance.

Phantom Black Holes and Sigma Models

, 2011
We construct static multicenter solutions of phantom Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory from null geodesics of the target space, leading to regular black holes without spatial symmetry for certain discrete values of the dilaton coupling constant.

Phantom hCG and Phantom Choriocarcinoma

Gynecologic Oncology, 1998
Phantom hCG and phantom choriocarcinoma syndrome (pseudohypergonadotropinemia) refers to persistent mild elevations of hCG, leading physicians to treat patients with cytotoxic chemotherapy for choriocarcinoma when in reality no true hCG or trophoblast disease is present. We report here three cases of the phantom hCG and phantom choriocarcinoma syndrome
