Development of a model of brain function change based on treatment of heterogeneous hemispheres on the depression of addicts

Objective: The aim of this istudy is to determine the model of brain function change based on treatment of heterogeneous hemispheres on the depression of addicts. Materials and Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group, which 20 male addicts leaving in the city of Karaj, Iran. Beck Depression Inventory and Blood Test was used. We selected 20 out of 100 people at random and placed them in two experimental and control groups equally (10 experimental group and 10 control group). Evaluation of the subjects by the Depression Inventory and blood test before training and after training of the experimental group. The subjects in the experimental group were trained for 16 sessions 2 days a week, two hours a day, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using ANKOA statistical method and research data was analyzed with SPSS software version 22. Results: the reuslts showed that the subjects in the experimental group after training were significantly different from the control group in their scores of depression and increase in chemical carriers (serotonin and dopamine). In other words, brain change model based on heterogeneous hemisphere treatment was effective on depression of withdrawal addicts with 95% probability. Conclusion: Teaching a model of brain function change based on heterogeneous hematopoietic treatment was effective on depression in withdrawal addicts. approved. &nbsp

Neurobiology and the Changing Face of Eating Disorder Treatment: Healing the Eating Disordered Brain

By recognizing eating disorders (EDs) as disruptions in brain circuitry, neuroscience has begun to shed light on how people make changes in psychotherapy. The clinician who treats the eating disordered patient also treats the eating disordered brain. It is time for practitioners to become better acquainted with the organ they treat, and to apply neuroplasticity research findings to clinical practice. Eating disorders and body image disturbances signify the loss of integrity of the core self. Twenty-first century research and technology has validated the age‐old notion that healthy neuronal connectivity within, and between, mind(s), brain(s), and body(s) reintegrates and defines the healthy self. The concept of the “self” as embodied (grounded in somatic reality) expands the scope of effective healing practices. Neurophysiological (somatosensory education and mindful psychotherapeutic attachments) interventions that support the emergence of embodied mindfulness and sensory awareness facilitate the reintegration of the eating disordered brain, and of the fragmented core self. Both lie at the heart of eating disorder recovery. Nowhere in the field of mental health are the concepts of the embedded self and embodied healing as significant as in the treatment of eating disorders and body image disturbances. This article discusses the healing impact of neurophysiological connections, intrapersonal and interpersonal, that foster recovery of the self

Advanced spike sorting approaches in implantable VLSI wireless brain computer interfaces: a survey

Brain Computer/Machine Interfaces (BCI/BMIs) have substantial potential for enhancing the lives of disabled individuals by restoring functionalities of missing body parts or allowing paralyzed individuals to regain speech and other motor capabilities. Due to severe health hazards arising from skull incisions required for wired BCI/BMIs, scientists are focusing on developing VLSI wireless BCI implants using biomaterials. However, significant challenges, like power efficiency and implant size, persist in creating reliable and efficient wireless BCI implants. With advanced spike sorting techniques, VLSI wireless BCI implants can function within the power and size constraints while maintaining neural spike classification accuracy. This study explores advanced spike sorting techniques to overcome these hurdles and enable VLSI wireless BCI/BMI implants to transmit data efficiently and achieve high accuracy.Comment: Submitted to 37th International Conference on VLSI Design 202

Design and Implementation Multimedia Learning Success for Vocational Schools

This research aims to design a web-based multimedia applications, interactive learning, in order to improve the learning outcomes of students, especially students of Vocational High School. Multimedia Learning has been designed with some additional content in the form of applications: decision support system for multimedia usage based on Model of Multimedia Learning Success. The population obtained from respondents vocational school in Central Java, which is already implementing multimedia learning. The method used is qualitative analysis in the form of: the development of multimedia learning integrated with decision support systems. Design and implementation of multimedia learning success system that is abbreviated "Sikemuning". Sikemuning can be used to measure or provide guidance for teachers in the use of multimedia. Interviews with several respondents teachers from vocational schools in Central Java showed that: the system success multimedia learning developed in this study can be used as feedback to assess the success and effectiveness of the implementation of learning activities, multimedia learning can improve the performance and intelligence of vocational school students

Towards the Quality Improvement of Web Applications by Neuroscience Techniques

User-centered design not only requires designers to analyse and anticipate how users are likely to use a Web application, but also to validate their assumptions with regard to user behaviour in real environments. Cognitive neuroscience, for its part, addresses the questions of how psychological functions are produced by neural circuitry. The emergence of powerful new measurement techniques allows neuroscientists and psychologists to address abstract questions such as how human cognition and emotion are mapped to specific neural substrates. This paper focus on the validation of user-centered designs and requirements of Web applications by neuroscience techniques and suggest the use of these techniques to achieve efficient and effectiveness validated designs by real behavior of potential users.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RJunta de Andalucía TIC-578

Evaluation and design of a novel drug delivery device for treating tumor-related cerebral edema

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2010.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 47-53).Tumor-related cerebral edema is a debilitating medical condition that afflicts tens of thousands of newly diagnosed brain cancer patients in the U.S. each year, where the standard care of treatment indicates the systemic administration of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXM) and surgery. The former is associated with toxic side effects, and the latter is an ineffective option. Local drug delivery to the desired site of therapy helps to circumvent the side effects of DXM. In this paper, the design of a novel, local drug delivery device was explored as a means to treat tumor-related cerebral edema. The novel device was then evaluated based on an analysis of the market environment in which it will be sold. This included discussion of the supply chain infrastructure and the challenges associated with the medical industry, an estimate of the addressable market size, growth and valuation, and an estimate of the novel product's cost compared to current edema treatment and the device's potential competitors. The methods by which the device could be commercialized were also discussed, specifically, strategies for obtaining FDA approval, manufacturing the device on a medium scale, protecting intellectual property, integrating the device into the supply chain, and an estimation of the financial investment needed to form a startup company. Finally, the technology that enables its desired application was evaluated, which included an assessment of the barriers to drug delivery, ideal characteristics of a successful drug delivery device, possible routes and means of administration, as well as other considerations pertinent to a successful drug delivery device. After completing the first iteration of the innovation cycle, it was concluded that the device deserves further investigation and investment, as it progresses from the lab bench to the marketplace.by Kamal A.
