This paper focuses on electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) comparison to help the rehabilitation patients. Both methods have unique techniques and placement of electrodes. Usage of signals are different in application based on the economic conditions. This study helps in choosing the signal for the betterment of analysis. Ten healthy subject datasets of EEG & FNIRS are taken and applied to plot topography separately. Accuracy, Sensitivity, peaks, integral areas, etc are compared and plotted. The main advantages of this study are to prompt their necessities in the analysis of rehabilitation devices to manage their life as a typical individual.

Laparoscopic Lateral Suspension

Abstract Background Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) is a laparoscopic technique used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in apical and anterior compartment defect with the use of a synthetic T-shaped mesh graft. The posterior compartment is repaired using a second mesh or a procedure along with LLS, such as posterior colporrhaphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of LLS for POP using a five-arm mesh instead of a T-shaped mesh graft to repair the defect of the posterior compartment in addition to the apical and anterior compartments. Methods Data from 37 patients with a diagnosis of advanced-stage (≥ 3) POP undergoing LLS with the use of a five-arm mesh were retrospectively analysed. Pre-operative and post-operative examinations and, surgical outcomes were determined. The results of measurements and examinations, reoperation rates, erosion rates, lower urinary tract symptoms, and complications were analysed. The Prolapse Quality of Life Questionnaire (P-QOL) was also used. Results The median post-operative follow-up was 20 (13–34) months. There was a significant improvement in POP-Q scores in all treated compartments, with overall objective cure rates of 94.5% for the apical compartment, 86.4% for the anterior compartment, and 91.8% for the posterior compartment. The median operative time was 96 (76–112) minutes. The median length of hospitalization was 2 (1–3) days. A significant improvement in vaginal bulge, urinary urgency, incomplete voiding, urinary frequency, and constipation was observed after surgery. The sexuality among patients increased from 13 (35.1%) preoperatively to 22 (59.4%) post-operatively. De novo stress urinary incontinence developed in 7 (18.9%) patients. The P-QOL scores improved significantly after surgery. Conclusions In advanced-stage POP patients, the posterior compartment damage can also be repaired in LLS with the use of a single five-arm mesh without the need for an additional procedure, and the recurrence rate can be reduced.

Anterior Compartment

AbstractThe flexor pollicis longus (FPL) is located in the anterior compartment of the forearm. It is morphologically variable in both point of origin and insertion. An additional head of the FPL can lead to anterior interosseous syndrome. This report presents a morphological variation of the FPL (additional head in proximal attachment and bifurcated tendinous insertion in distal attachment) and an unrecognized structure that has not so far been described in the literature. This structure originates in six heads (attached to the FPL or interosseous membrane) that merge together, and inserts on to the FPL. All the variations noted have clinical significance, ranging from potential nerve compression to prevention of tendon rupture.

Palm Of The Hand

I possess comparatively few data concerning the action of drugs upon “Emotivity” or, to put it more specifically, upon the electrical resistance of the palm of the hand. Except as regards atropine, with which I have made many observations to test the sudo-motor theory of the reaction, I find in my notes only one satisfactory observation upon each of the following drugs: alcohol, chloroform, morphia, which I will transcribe. Obviously, a single observation of any drug can give only a single facet of its action under the particular conditions of experiment. It will, however, be clear that the results have, in each instance, been such as might be anticipated on general principles with one notable exception, viz., atropine. Experiment 1: Alcohol . —A healthy subject, F. G., aged 30, with an initial hand conductance = 17 γ ( = 60, 000 ohms) gave emotive reactions = 37 γ to the threat of a burn (match struck) and 2 γ to an actual slight burn, immediately before and immediately after the ingestion of 50 c. c. of whisky. The conductance remained unaltered at 17 γ .
