Attention is a cognitive and behavioral process that selectively focuses on the individual aspects of subjective or objective information. It has been shown that transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain, or rTMS, can affect the networks of attention in the brain of some peoples. In this study we report the effects of our experimental setup(Beta-1 Device) on human brain. Current research shows the influences of our setup on human concentration and attention. Respected to the low number of sessions of this stimulation using the beta1 device and the significant effect of this stimulation, the beta1 system can be helpful in the treatment or improvement of attention deficit disorders. It is suggested that the effectiveness of this machine in increasing attention and focus should be studied by repeating this research and increasing the number of magnetic stimulation sessions of the brain. Due to the results of the previous researches in the stimulation of the DLPFC area and its relevance with the recovery of depression, the effect of stimulation of brain by this device on depression is expected. In the present study, the final scores of attention and visual and auditory focus in the IVA test were considered. It seems that repeating the research and measuring the different components of attention mentioned in this test can illuminate the dark angles of the present study.

On nine unanesthetized male rabbits, the frequency spectra of hypothalamic electrogram (EEG) were studied during low intensity (10 mW/cm2) millimeter wave (55–75 GHz) exposure to various acupuncture points (zone): auricular, cranial and corporal. The chances of occurrence of significant (p < 0.05) changes in the EEG spectra during irradiation versus. sham experiments were equal to 31, 21 and 5%, respectively. Exposure to auricular zone reduced the EEG power in narrow bands with central frequencies of 5.3, 15.9 Hz and increased ones of 2.6, 3.2, 6.9, 7.9, 11.5 and 25.6 Hz. The main effect of exposure to cranial zone was similar — changes at 15.9 and 25.6 Hz only. The data obtained demonstrate that the responsiveness of the central nervous system to low intensity millimeter wave radiation may depend on the location of the exposed acupuncture zone.

BACKGROUND: According to clinical studies, the stimulation of acupuncture points (APs) by a variety of methods (eg, needles, pressure, etc) is an effective method for the treatment of many pain syndromes. However, no experimental proof exists showing that the exposure of APs to low-intensity incoherent polarized (P) light evokes an analgesic affect.OBJECTIVES: The authors’ previous work, using mice, shows that the exposure of APs to low-intensity microwaves effectively decreases pain. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether exposure of APs to low-intensity incoherent P light evokes a statistically significant reduction in pain.METHODS: The effects of P light on behavioural responses to acute and tonic pain were tested in mice. The threshold of vocalization during electrical stimulation of the foot (acute pain) was measured before and after exposure of AP E-36 to P light. The duration of licking the formalin-injected foot (tonic pain) was investigated in control mice and mice exposed to P light on APs E-36, V-56 and V-60 or on skin that did not contain analgesic APs.RESULTS: Exposure of APs to P light evoked a statistically significant increase in pain threshold by 34.2% to 59.1%, and shortened the licking time by 32.3% to 50% in mice. The most effective AP was E-36 in both the painful foot and the normal foot. After 2 min, 6 min and 10 min of P light exposure, analgesia was 7.6%, 30.9% and 50%, respectively. The exposure to P light on skin that did not contain analgesic APs did not evoke significant effect.CONCLUSIONS: The results show the efficacy of pain suppression by exposure of antinociceptive APs to P light.

Introduction: BTL EMSELLA™ utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to cause deep pelvic floor muscles stimulation and restoration of the neuromuscular control. Key effectiveness is based on focused electromagnetic energy, in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area. A single BTL EMSELLA™ session brings thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle reeducation of incontinent patients. Objective: Prospective study to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the use of BTL EMSELLA magnetic stimulation in urinary incontinence. Method: Thirty-two patients with light and moderate urinary incontinence were recruited to perform 6 sessions of BTL EMSELLA during three weeks of initial treatment. Follow-up after three months. The patients received sessions lasting 28 minutes, completing the different treatment protocols. Initially the patients underwent a quality of life test before and after treatment, evaluation with advanced ultrasound using elastography to measure the initial tissue's elasticity and be able to compare after treatment, clinical functional evaluation and urodynamic test. Results: No adverse reactions were observed. All the patients finished the treatment sessions. Two patients reported increased pain after treatment in the first session corresponding to a VAS scale greater than 5 with duration greater than three hours. The treatment was highly satisfactory in 84,4% of the patients. After the first three months the improvement was maintained in 77% of the patients. No muscle injuries were observed. Elastographic changes and improvement of muscle tone were detected by advanced ultrasound (elastography) in 100% of patients. Conclusions: BTL EMSELLA is safe, well tolerated and effective for the treatment of mild and moderate urinary incontinence. The observed elastographic changes demonstrate the improvement of pelvic floor muscle tone after treatment. A reduction in the symptoms of urinary incontinence was demonstrated. Recommendations: Continue increasing the number of cases for research and increase the variables that we have decided to incorporate in the next research section such as MRI and pressure calculation.
