Hypoxic preconditioning induces neuroprotection against oxidative stress

2022

Brain is an oxyregulator organ, however extremely vulnerable to oxygen. Both high and low oxygen concentrations generate free radicals and may cause oxidative stress and damage because of an insufficient response of the antioxidant system. Hypoxic preconditioning (HP) exerts neuroprotective effects and may be a protecting tool against oxygen fluctuations, thus preventing neuronal damage in events such as ischaemia, acute hypoxia, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, among others. This review aims to discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in the neuroprotective action of HP against oxidative stress and subsequently upon the brain under pro-oxidant conditions. Activation of the antioxidant d…

Low‐Cost Robotic Guide Based on a Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface for Arm Assisted Rehabilitation robotic rehabilitation; robot‐assisted thera…

2020

Motor imagery has been suggested as an efficient alternative to improve the rehabilitation process of affected limbs. In this study, a low‐cost robotic guide is implemented so that linear position can be controlled via the user's motor imagination of movement intention. The patient can use this device to move the arm attached to the guide according to their own intentions. The first objective of this study was to check the feasibility and safety of the designed robotic guide controlled via a motor imagery (MI)‐based brain-computer interface (MI‐BCI) in healthy individuals, with the ultimate aim to apply it to rehabilitation patients. The second objective was to determine which are the most …

Application of Mathematical Modelling and Symmetry in Neuroscience

2022

The first article is "Spectral Clustering Reveals Different Profiles of Central Sensitization in Women with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)" [1]. CTS is considered to be one of the most prevalent entrapment neuropathies of the upper extremities. The most common symptoms experienced by CTS patients are sensory disturbances, such as pain, numbness, tingling, and/or paresthesia in areas innervated by the median nerve. This physical condition relates to unemployment and creates substantial health care costs, as well as an economic burden to the concern families. It is estimated that CTS has a lifetime prevalence of 3.1% and an incidence rate of 1.73 per 1000 person-year in the general population; …

Controlled education of patients after stroke (ceops)-nurse-led multimodal and long-term interventional program involving a patient''s caregiver to o…

2018

Background Setting up a follow-up secondary prevention program after stroke is difficult due to motor and cognitive impairment, but necessary to prevent recurrence and improve patients’ quality of life. To involve a referent nurse and a caregiver from the patient’s social circle in nurse-led multimodal and long-term management of risk factors after stroke could be an advantage due to their easier access to the patient and family. The aim of this study is to compare the benefit of optimized follow up by nursing personnel from the vascular neurology department including therapeutic follow up, and an interventional program directed to the patient and a caregiving member of their social circle,…

Increased Arterial Augmentation and Augmentation Index as Surrogate Parameters for Arteriosclerosis in Subjects with Diabetes Mellitus and Nondiabeti…

2007

Background: Arterial augmentation (AP) and the augmentation index (Aix) are surrogate parameters of arterial stiffness and are commonly used as predictors for cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to compare these parameters in diabetic subjects and nondiabetic cardiovascular risk subjects with healthy control subjects. Methods: One hundred sixty-six nonsmoking subjects aged between 35 and 70 years were included in the study, which included 100 subjects with cardiovascular disease but not diabetes (mean age 62.73±8.75 years), 33 subjects with type 2 diabetes (66.58±2.69 years), and 33 healthy controls (51.89±8.91 years). In these subjects, arterial stiffness was measured by the diff…

Long-Term Brain Disorders in Post Covid-19 Neurological Syndrome (PCNS) Patient

2021

In the recent pandemic disease, called COVID-19, the role of neurologists and neurobiologists represents a chance to study key features of brain infection and deepen neurological manifestations of COVID-19 and other coronavirus infections. In fact, many studies suggest brain damage during infection and persistent neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Reverse transcription PCR test, antibody tests, Computed Tomography (CT) of the lung, and Magnetic Resonance (MR) of the brain of the patient were periodically performed during this case report for eight months after infection. The aim of this article is to describe the prolonged neurological clinical consequences related to COVID-19.…

New-onset headache following COVID-19: An Italian multicentre case series

2023

Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients with new-onset headache following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to several neurological manifestations, and headache is a frequent and disabling symptom, both exacerbating pre-existing headache syndromes and causing new-onset ones. Methods: Patients with new-onset headache after SARS-CoV-2 infection with consent to participate were included, while those ones with previous headaches were excluded. The temporal latency of headache after infection, pain characteristics, and concomitant symptoms were analysed. Moreover, the efficacy of acute and preventive medications was explored. Results: Eleven females (med…
