Methodological Note: Neurofeedback: A Comprehensive Review on System Design, Methodology and Clinical Applications
Neurofeedback is a kind of biofeedback, which teaches self-control of brain functions to subjects by measuring brain waves and providing a feedback signal. Neurofeedback usually provides the audio and or video feedback. Positive or negative feedback is produced for desirable or undesirable brain activities, respectively. In this review, we provided clinical and technical inf...
متن کاملPigment epithelium-derived factor: clinical significance in estrogen-dependent tissues and its potential in cancer therapy
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the family of non-inhibitory serpins. The broad spectrum of PEDF biological activity is evident when considering its effects in promoting cell survival and proliferation, as well as its antiangiogenic, antitumor, and anti-metastatic properties. Although the structural domains of the PEDF gene that mediate such diverse ef...
متن کاملHuman Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells: General Characteristics and Potential Therapeutic Applications
Introduction: Amniotic fluid contains a mixture of different cell types sloughed from the fetal skin, respiratory, alimentary and urogenital tracts, as well as the amnion membrane. As amniotic fluid develops prior to the process of gastrulation, many cells found in its heterogeneous population do not undergo lineage specialization. Therefore, amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AF-MS...

متن کاملEvaluation of Sympathetic Activity in Hypertension
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and contributes to hypertensive target organ complications. Advances in technology over the last three decades have improved the ability to measure sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), thus enabling investigators to probe the role of SNS in the development of cardiovascular diseases. The most direct method ...
