Nerve Conduction, and Other Reactions in Cassiopea
The rhizostomous scyphomedusa Cassiopea xamachana of Florida lives in shallow semi-stagnant lagoons wherein the temperature, salinity, and CO2 are subject to considerable range. Thus it is one of the most favourable of marine animals for physiological studies, being so well adapted to aquarium conditions that the death rate is practically nil even though the experiments may continue for more th...
متن کاملNon-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation via focused ultrasound in vivo.
Focused ultrasound (FUS) has been employed on a wide range of clinical applications to safely and non-invasively achieve desired effects that have previously required invasive and lengthy procedures with conventional methods. Conventional electrical neuromodulation therapies that are applied to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are invasive and/or non-specific. Recently, focused ultrasound ha...
متن کاملNon-invasive high-frequency vascular ultrasound elastography.
Non-invasive vascular elastography (NIVE) was recently introduced to characterize mechanical properties of superficial arteries. In this paper, the feasibility of NIVE and its applicability in the context of high-frequency ultrasound imaging is investigated. First, experiments were performed in vitro on vessel-mimicking phantoms. Polyvinyl alcohol cryogel was used to create two double-layer ves...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Conduction Study
OBJECTIVE To verify the utility of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) ultrasound-guided conduction technique compared to that of the conventional nerve conduction technique. METHODS Fifty-eight legs of 29 healthy participants (18 males and 11 females; mean age, 42.7±14.9 years) were recruited. The conventional technique was performed bilaterally. The LFCN was localized by ultrasound. ...
متن کاملHigh resolution sonographic examination: a newer technique to study ulnar nerve neuropathy in leprosy
Objectives: A prospective case control study was conducted to calculate normal dimensions of ulnar nerve and study the size, echotexture and morphologic alterations in ulnar nerve in patients with leprosy. Methods: The study group included 48 patients diagnosed with leprosy on basis of clinical, bacteriologic and/or histopathologic evaluation. Sonographic measurements were taken at 3 levels aro...
