摘要:
A user migraine analysis component comprises a memory configured to store computer executable instructions, and a processor for executing the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions comprise instructions for receiving at least a visual behavior parameter indicative of the real time visual behavior of the user, and determining the migraine risk of the user based on the analysis of the at least one visual behavior parameter.

Improvements in a dental/prosthetic implant is disclosed. The implant includes interior and exterior threaded surfaces. The use of both interior and exterior expanding threaded surfaces for integrations of the insert and a prosthetic with the same implant. The implant is immediately usable under load and promotes rapid integration with bone growth. The expanded insert essentially makes contact with the tapped bone surfaces where loads can be immediately applied so a person can utilize the prosthetic implant. The implant can further include security devices GPS, ID with medical records making removal of the implant difficult to extract. A cushioning member may be further integrated. The implant/abutment can include a surface with a plurality of contacts with sufficient gold contact points to attach residual nerve endings, during implanting surgery to provide nerve identification, send, receive, target so as to exploit proprioceptive memory or retraining.
摘要:
A method of diagnosing and monitoring biologic dysfunction may include performing measurements utilizing sensors of wireless earpieces, analyzing the measurements, comparing the measurements to established norms, determining whether the measurements indicate biologic dysfunction. The measurements may include biologic data of a user or environmental data. The sensors may include inertial sensors or optical sensors. The biologic dysfunction may include neurologic dysfunction and the neurologic dysfunction may include intention tremor. The method may include reporting the biologic dysfunction to a user.

One aspect of the present disclosure can include a method for implanting a neural electrode in a fascicle including a target nerve. One step of the method can include inserting a microwire assembly into the fascicle. The microwire assembly can comprise a microwire body that is coiled around a needle introducer. Next, a portion of the microwire body can be uncoiled from around the needle introducer so that a distal end of the microwire body retains a spiral-shaped configuration. The needle introducer can then be withdrawn so that the spiral-shaped distal end of the microwire body remains implanted in the fascicle.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing quantitative measurements of global glymphatic flow of cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”) using magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) are described. In general, images are obtained from a subject using flow-sensitive MRI techniques that are designed to be particularly sensitive to the glymphatic flow of CSF. Measures of glymphatic flow can be obtained while the subject is in an awake state and again while the subject is in a sleep state. Based on these two measurements, a biomarker that indicates a neurological state or disease can be generated.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for determining a continuous CSF flow rate in an implanted CSF shunt in real-time. The system/method utilize a Peltier sensor formed on a flexible pad that is placed against the patient's skin. The Peltier sensor includes a Peltier device coupled to a thermal resistor that is contact with the patient's skin over the CSF shunt location. The Peltier device is operated continuously, controlled by the Peltier temperature sensor to a predetermined temperature that is below the patient's core temperature to form a temperature differential that causes any heat generated by the skin/CSF flow to be detected by a skin temperature sensor and the Peltier temperature sensor. Upstream and downstream temperature sensors, as well as control temperature sensors, are utilized to form a zero flow rate baseline that is used to calibrate a Peltier signal that corresponds to a real-time CSF flow rate. A sensor processing device processes all sensor data for generating the zero flow rate baseline and the Peltier signal.
摘要:
An evaluator includes a heart rate variability analyzer A having a heart rate measuring instrument, a heartbeat interval measuring instrument, a frequency analyzer, a sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system index analyzer, and a psychiatric symptom/psychotic disorder onset risk calculator, and a random number generation analyzer having a random number input unit, a random number score calculation unit, and a display unit. Frequency analysis of a heart rate measurement and a heartbeat interval measurement of a subject is performed to determine a high-frequency index, a low-frequency index and a ratio therebetween,
摘要:
A system and method are provided whereby periodic measurements of autonomic reflex times of individuals are used as an early-warning indication that an undesirable physical condition, such as an undesirable blood-chemistry condition, may exist. This method correlates measurements of the reaction times of specific autonomic reflexes to more-definitive measurements for the medical condition being monitored for this early-warning assessment.
摘要:
A system and method for monitoring treatment of central nervous system disorders of a patient. Initially, a plurality of patient symptoms are selected from a list of predetermined symptoms which correspond to NINDS common data elements. The symptoms are then measured in standardized units, and changes in the symptoms are recorded. The recorded changes are then standardized and an indication of the standardized changes is displayed. The above steps are and repeated until the monitoring, which may span the patient's lifetime, is concluded.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a respiratory or pulmonary condition in a patient by transvascular neuromodulation of an adrenal gland or neural structures that innervate the adrenal gland or components thereof. Methods also include implanting a controller in the patient to control delivery of a therapy signal to the patient's adrenal gland. The therapy signal can be an electrical and/or chemical signal.
