Sleep spindles in humans: insights from intracranial EEG and unit recordings
Abstract Sleep spindles are an electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and are believed to mediate many sleep-related functions, from memory consolidation to cortical development. Spindles differ in location,...
Neurofeedback for insomnia: a pilot study of Z-score SMR and individualized protocols
Abstract Insomnia is an epidemic in the US. Neurofeedback (NFB) is a little used, psychophysiological treatment with demonstrated usefulness for treating insomnia. Our objective was to assess whether two distinct Z-Score NFB protocols, a modified...
Interrelations between blood-brain barrier permeability and matrix metalloproteinases are differently affected by tissue plasminogen activator and hyperoxia in a rat model of embolic stroke.
Abstract: In ischemic stroke, blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulations, typically involving matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inhibitors (TIMPs) as mediators, became interesting since tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-related BBB breakdown with...
Hyberbaric oxygen increases atresia in normal & steroid induced PCO rat ovaries.
Abstract: In this study, we investigated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the morphology of estradiol valerate (EV) induced polycystic ovary (PCO) to find a new treatment modality for improvement of PCO. The rats were divided into...
MRI features of spinal cord decompression sickness presenting as a Brown-Sequard syndrome.
Abstract: Decompression sickness often manifests as central nervous system impairment. We report a 49-year-old woman who developed an unusual case of spinal cord decompression sickness presenting as complete Brown-Sequard syndrome. Initial MRI...
A case of Fournier’s gangrene after hydrocelectomy.
Abstract: An uncommon case of Fournier's gangrene following hydrocelectomy is described. A 78-year-old male with no remarkable previous history, who underwent hydrocelectomy in another hospital, developed Fournier's gangrene 15 days later. The...
A case of Fournier’s gangrene after liver transplantation: treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is known as a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis arising from genitourinary and colorectal infections. Misdiagnoses have occurred often because the initial presentation varies and is unclear. We report a...
Kyphectomy for congenital kyphosis due to meningomyelocele: a case treated with a modified approach to skin healing.
Abstract: This study is a case report of a meningomyelocele patient with congenital kyphosis who was treated with kyphectomy and a special approach to soft tissue healing. The objective of this study is to show a step by step approach to surgical...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen in traumatic brain injury: retrospective analysis of data of 20 patients treated at a tertiary care centre.
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) related impact results in a permanent need for help in performing daily activities. Standard treatment consists of removing the cause, restore perfusion, support metabolic requirement and limit inflammatory...
