To test the hypothesis that a respiratory cycle influences pain processing, we conducted an experimental pain study in 10 healthy volunteers. Intraepidermal electrical stimulation (IES) with a concentric bipolar needle electrode was applied to the hand dorsum at pain perceptual threshold or four times the perceptual threshold to produce first pain during expiration or inspiration either of whic...

BACKGROUND Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R), that evaluates the subjective perception of stress, is used to assess post traumatic stress disorder simptoms. AIM To adapt and validate IES-R to the Chilean population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred seventy eight subjects exposed to stressful life events of varying magnitude were assessed using the IES-R, the Beck Depression Inventory, t...

Objective: High Density electroencephalography (HD EEG) is the reference non-invasive technique to investigate the dynamics of neuronal networks in Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal Spikes (BECTS). Analysis of local dynamic changes surrounding Interictal Epileptic Spikes (IES) might improve our knowledge of the mechanisms that propel neurons to the hypersynchronization of IES in BECTS. Trans...

Intelligent environments (IEs) are smart spaces that are equipped with seamless computing technologies to empower the occupants/users of those spaces for completing the activities of daily living in an efficient way, while insuring security, safety and optimal usage of resources. Naturally, IEs cover a number of settings going from offices, hospitals, schools, factories to cities. While IEs tec...

Presents information on the Women in IES Workshop at ISIE 2022 conference.

Internal eliminated sequences (IESs) often interrupt ciliate genes in the silent germline nucleus but are exactly excised and eliminated from the developing somatic nucleus from which genes are then expressed. Some long IESs are transposons, supporting the hypothesis that short IESs are ancient transposon relics. In light of that hypothesis and to explore the evolutionary history of a collectio...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a dangerous form of pressure ulcer as it causes substantial subcutaneous damage before being detected. There are currently no practical and reliable forms of early detection or reversal of DTI. We propose the use of intermittent electrical stimulation (IES) to reverse the injury before it reaches the skin. Adult rats with spinal cord injury were used to assess the ef...
