Prolonged transcranial alternating current stimulation leveraging new stimulation paradigms and set-ups as a treatment to promote remyelination in cuprizone treated mice.
The (human) brain has a remarkable innate capacity to self-repair when demyelination occurs. This endogenous mechanism, however, fails in diseases like multiple sclerosis leading to reduced intracortical communication and cognitive disabilities. Curr...
A novel radar-based sensor for non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure monitoring: from design towards clinical testing
Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is the steady-state pressure inside brthe abdominal compartment. Based on literature, approximately more brthan half of the critically ill patients develop intra-abdominal brhypertension (IAH) within their stay in the i...
