According to electroencephalogram (EEG) descriptors included in the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) terminology, we generated a score, and compared it EEG scores previously proposed order identify one with best prognostic power for neurological outcome at post-acute stages patients severe disorders of consciousness (DoC).Patients analysis were clinically evaluated Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R). An was performed within first week after admission Intensive Rehabilitation...
Chronic migraine (CM) is a highly disabling condition, affecting about 2% of the global population. Non-pharmacological treatments can be optimal for their non-invasive nature. This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial aimed to test efficacy therapeutic neuroscience education (TNE) in CM. Early response biomarkers were also evaluated. A total 80 CM patients consecutively enrolled and randomly allocated TNE or general program. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated at...
Due to continuous advances in intensive care technology and neurosurgical procedures, the number of survivors from severe acquired brain injuries (sABIs) has increased considerably, raising several delicate ethical issues. The heterogeneity complex nature neurological damage sABIs make detection predictive factors a better outcome very challenging. Identifying profile those patients with prospects recovery will facilitate clinical family choices allow personalize rehabilitation. This paper...
Objectives Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM) frequently affects critical patients can occur after severe acquired brain injuries (sABI) influencing the functional recovery. We aimed to assess how concomitance between CIPNM sABI might influence rehabilitative outcomes in terms of autonomy, oral feeding recovery endotracheal tube weaning. Materials Methods Adult with admitted an intensive rehabilitation unit underwent electromyography examination within seven days admission...
The Ultrasound (US) examination time reduction is an increasing compelling request in sonographer's everyday life. increased number of patients and the cost are two opposite forces, which can lead sonographer to work faster without caring about scanning posture. numerous repeated actions performed easily Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD). analysis those problems has driven definition implementation eTouch tool: user-defined Macros appositively created, automatically sequentially...
Complexity analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has emerged as a valuable tool for characterizing Parkinson's disease (PD). Fractal dimension (FD) is widely employed method measuring the complexity shapes with many applications in neurodegenerative disorders. Nevertheless, very little known on fractal characteristics EEG PD measured by FD. In this study we performed spatio-temporal using FD four dimensions (4DFD). We analyzed 42 resting-state recordings comprising two groups: 27...
The purpose of this theoretical paper is to describe the development a new technology for automated analysis and design definition Ultrasound (US) system User Interfaces (UI) US transducers. examination real-time multi-factor approach, which involves whole sonographer’s body; its evaluation, must take into account many different factors aspects need be evaluated implemented. proposed technology, based on Digital Human Modeling (DHM) systems, would get input from technologies such as Motion...
The first private chapel for which the Pope granted permission in middle of fifteenth century, Palazzo Medici Florence, frescoed with Procession Magi by Benozzo Gozzoli, has recently become setting an experience guided perception support multimedia technologies and augmented reality workshop "Procession time through to splendour interior epiphany". research detects psychophysiological responses induced immersion enriched environment.
Commonly available Pulsed Wave Doppler (PW) flow velocity measurements for Ultrasound (US) investigation require the operator to manually set direction of vector along blood vessel axis on US image, in order determine angle and then estimate real velocity. The present work investigates possibility implement a commercially system an innovative Automatic Angle (ADA) Technology by analyzing best workflow terms higher execution speed, lower keystrokes/adjustments helping prevention Work-related...
Severely brain-injured patients may enter a spectrum of conditions collectively known as disorders consciousness (DoC). This includes clinical categories such unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or minimally conscious state, where the behavioral assessment can often be deceptive. To bridge this dissociation, neuroimaging techniques are employed to look for residual brain functions. Each modality imperfectly captures distinct aspects preservation - functional, anatomical, both. In study, we...
