Introduced in 1933, Sakel's pharmacological shock treatment [Sakel (1935a,1935b,1938)] is now regarded as a valuable method of treatment in schizophrenia. The complications which may ensue during the treatment are, however, both numerous and dangerous, and may be classified according to the system predominantly affected as follows: (1) The Respiratory System. (2) The Cardiovascular System. (3) The Nervous System.

The use of physiological signals is relatively recent development in human emotion recognition. Interest in this field has been motivated by the unbiased nature of such signals, which are generated autonomously from the central nervous system. Generally, these signals can be collected from the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, electrodermal activities, muscular system and brain activities. This paper presents an overview of emotion recognition using physiological signals. The main components of a physiological signals-based emotion recognirion system are explained, including discussion regarding the concepts and problems about the various stages involved in its framework.

<p>In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were still getting used to the rising cases every day and limited resources to deal them with, the focus was to get a hold of the situation as quickly as possible. Seven months into the pandemic, the cases are still on the rise but we have gathered some knowledge through the researches getting published every day, most of which are focused on the involvement of respiratory system, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal system. Dermatological manifestations have not been given their due importance. Lately, many patients have started presenting with dermatological manifestation sometimes preceding or sometimes during COVID-19 infection with or without involvement of other systems. This may be beneficial to clinicians all over the world, to determine potential dermatological signs in COVID-19 and also help in earlier suspection of the COVID-19 infection. Many cutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADR) to drugs advocated in COVID-19 treatment are also being reported every day, which are discussed in this review.</p><p>Here we attempt to review dermatological manifestations of COVID-19 infections and drug reactions by the drugs advocated for its treatment and an understanding in its path mechanisms reported thus far. This will help clinicians to get an insight into what to expect and when to expect in terms of dermatological manifestation of COVID-19 and its drugs.</p>

The auditory brainstem carries out sound localization functions that require an extraordinary degree of precision. While many of the specializations needed for these functions reside in auditory neurons, additional adaptations are made possible by the functions of glial cells. Astrocytes, once thought to have mainly a supporting role in nervous system function, are now known to participate in synaptic function. In the auditory brainstem, they contribute to development of specialized synapses and to mature synaptic function. Oligodendrocytes play critical roles in regulating timing in sound localization circuitry. Microglia enter the central nervous system early in development, and also have important functions in the auditory system’s response to injury. This chapter highlights the unique functions of these non-neuronal cells in the auditory system.
