Autism Resources to Help Families and Adults
Epilepsy and autism sometimes co-occur. While less than 1% of people have epilepsy overall, about 12% of autistic people have epilepsy. Autistic people and their families face extra challenges. Non-autistic family members may not know how to help or connect with their loved one. Lack of social acceptance may isolate the autistic person and the whole family. On top of this, services can be ...

Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Mapping Around the Prostate by Intraoperative Electrical Stimulation With Simultaneous Measurement of Intracavernous and Intraurethral Pressure
Purpose: In previous studies we noted that the neurovascular bundle was not identical to the bundle of the cavernous nerve fibers. In this study we sought to prove these anatomical findings electrophysiologically and map the autonomic nerve fibers by intraoperative simultaneous measurement of intracavernous pressure and intraurethral pressure. Materials and Methods: Between January 2004 and May ...

Results of Using a New Technology to Improve the Identification and Preservation of Nerve Tissue during Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
Introduction & Objectives Efforts to improve continence after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) have focused on preserving periurethral and bladder neck tissue and techniques involving posterior reconstructions and anterior suspensions. Many patients, however, still have varying degrees of urinary incontinence. Literature has shown that nerves innervating the levator ...

The 7-Steps to Recuperation from Stroke Arm Paralysis
About two-thirds of those that experience arm paralysis after stroke are unable to fully use their affected limb six months after stroke (1-3). Not having a fully functional arm and hand after a stroke is not only frustrating but also devastating to many individuals. Day-to-day operations and activities of daily living become more difficult, take longer to complete, and may require assistance ...

A Small Protein May Help People with Epilepsy and Other Diseases
For the first time, scientists have elucidated the structure of GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1) using cryo-electron microscopy. The discovery could lead to better new treatments for neurological disorders such as anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. In determining the structure of this transporter, one of the smallest proteins ever made, researchers have opened ...

8 reasons why you should use Pheezee
Pheezee Pheezee is a pocket size wearable device by startoon labs that can be worn by the patient while doing physiotherapy sessions. The device gives a real time biofeedback of range of motion and electromyogram (EMG) of the recruited muscle. The device connects wirelessly to an android phone/tablet to display reports. The physiotherapist can see session wise, week wise, month wise and ...

Understanding and Treating Diabetic Neuropathy
What is diabetic neuropathy? The most common complication of diabetes is neuropathy, which is nerve damagecaused by high blood sugar. Most neuropathy affects the legs, hands and feet and usually presents as numbness, pain or tingling. Diabetic neuropathy can also seriously impact the heart, blood vessels, digestive system and the kidneys. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to extreme pain. ...

Effect of Low FrequencyTranscutaneous Magnetic Stimulation on Sensory and Motor Transmission - Case Study
INTRODUCTION After a peripheral nerve injury, fast conducting large myelinated afferent A-bcta fiber transmission diminishes over time. On the other hand, firing of smaller pain transmitting fibers such as A-dclta and C-fibcrs is enhanced. This aberrant afferent neuronal behavior is thought to be one of the main neuronal mechanisms leading to development of chronic posttraumatic peripheral ...

Can We Predict Treatment Success in tVNS?
Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Disambiguation The process of stimulating the Vagus Nerve with micropulses of electrical current is referred to in a number of different ways. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) - Typically refers to stimulation of the nerve with a surgically implanted device and electrode. Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS, taVNS, nVNS, LLTS) - Refers to stimulation of the vagus nerve without ...

Mood enhancement and Neural Network Modulation with Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)?
Depression and the vagus nerve Depression affects millions of people worldwide and constitutes a leading cause of disability. Although pharmacological interventions are available, many of them produce suboptimal outcomes due to high non-responsive rates or intolerable side effects. It has been estimated that between 20 to 40 per cent of patients either failed to respond to conventional ...

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Enhances Divergent Thinking
Highlights of Research A clinical study investigated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Results indicate tVNS stimulates afferent fibers of the vagus nerve; and, that tVNS enhances creativity performance in divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a thought process or methodology that is used to generate creative ideas by exploring a number of possible solutions to a problem. ...

The Vagus Nerve - What is it and why is it so important to our health?
Key points The vagus nerve controls many unconscious processes in the body The vagus neural network interfaces with inflammatory, mood and pain regulation. This can be utilised for its neuromodulatory effect in activating restorative pathways. The vagus nerve has been called the ‘great wandering protector’ of the body, it’s made up of an intricate neural network that ...
