There are many traditional psychological methods to manage anxiety. Heart rate is the most relevant biomarker of the autonomic nervous system among the various physiological markers. Hence, the increase in the heart rate is associated with a wide range of negative psychological events. Objectives: In this study, a wearable device called a \"smart bracelet\" was developed and tested to make mechanical oscillations similar to normal people’s heart rates, and then the effect of it was evaluated among taekwondo athletes wearing this device before the matches. Methods: In order to evaluate the results, the heart rate was measured five minutes before the competition, with an average of 81 bpm in the group using the bracelet and 84.42 bpm in the group without the bracelet. The average heart rate in the group with the bracelet was 78.5, and without a bracelet was 92.14 bpm. Results: The results of this study showed that wearable technology inducing mechanical waves is similar to normal people’s heartbeat through the radial nerve, which reduces stress significantly and can prevent an increase in stress.","PeriodicalId":43970,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41359541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neurotrophic factors increase the survival of nerve cells and improve the treatment of neurological diseases. Identifying factors that affect the increase of neurotrophins in the brain is an important goal for brain health and function. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise on neurotrophic factors by influencing the expression of vanilloid receptor type 1 (TRPV1). Methods: Convulsions were induced by injecting pentylenetetrazol (PTZ; 35 mg/kg) five hours after exercise. Animals were divided into five groups: sham (Sham), seizure (PTZ), exercise (EX), exercise with seizure induction (EX+PTZ), and exercise before seizure induction (EX-PTZ). The exercise was 30 minutes of forced running on a treadmill, five days a week for four weeks. Results: The average percentage of NGF cells in the exercise groups (EX), exercise with seizure induction (EX+PTZ), and exercise before seizure induction (EX-PTZ), and GDNF in the exercise group with seizure induction (EX+PTZ) had a significant increase compared to the seizure group (PTZ). Also, TRPV1 activity in exercise groups (EX), exercise with seizure induction (EX+PTZ), and exercise before seizure induction (EX-PTZ) showed a significant increase compared to the seizure group (PTZ).

Subclinical applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) include measuring the thickness of different retinal layers and monitoring the progression of visual pathway atrophy and neurodegeneration in relation to the progress of the entire brain. Objectives: Our OCT study was conducted in individuals with RIS to evaluate the thickness of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL) and the retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL). Methods: In this study, 22 patients with RIS and 23 healthy individuals healthy control (HC) were enrolled. The control group and the RIS subjects underwent retinal imaging with OCT. Results: Total mRNFL thickness was 110.34 ± 13.71 μm in the RIS patients and 112.10 ± 11.23 μm in the HC group. Regional analysis of the mRNFL showed that the difference in thickness was more prominent in the superior quadrant. In regards to ganglion cell layer (GCL)++ thickness, the RIS and HCs population showed statistically significant differences in the nasal (P = 0.041), inferior (P = 0.040), and superior (P = 0.045) quadrants. The nasal (P = 0.041) quadrant showed the highest reduction in thickness compared to other regions of the GCL++. Meanwhile, no significant reduction was seen in GCL+ thickness (P-value > 0.05). When the thickness of the retinal layer of the right eye was compared to that of the left eye of the RIS group, no statistically significant differences were found (P-value > 0.05).

The c-Met receptors have a critical role in modulating the GABAergic interneurons and creating a balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, sensorimotor gating, and normal synaptic plasticity. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the changes of the c-Met receptor during the appearance of absence attacks in the experimental model of absence epilepsy. Methods: A total of 48 animals were divided into four groups of two- and six-month-old WAG/Rij and Wistar rats. Epileptic WAG/Rij rats showing SWP in electrocorticogram (ECoG) were included in the epileptic group. The two-month-old WAG/Rij rats as well as two- and six-month-old Wistar rats not exhibiting SWP in ECoG were selected as the non-epileptic. Gene (RT-PCR) and protein expression (western blotting) of c-Met receptors as well as c-Met protein distribution (immunohistochemistry) in the somatosensory cortex and hippocampus were assessed during seizure development of the absence attacks. Results: According to the study findings, a lower c-Met gene and protein expression, as well as a lower protein distribution, were observed in the hippocampus (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, and P < 0.001, respectively) and cortex (P < 0.01, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) of the two-month-old WAG/Rij rats compared to the same-age Wistar rats. Moreover, the data revealed a reduction of hippocampal and cortical c-Met protein expression (P < 0.001, for both) in six-month-old WAG/Rij rats compared to two-month-old ones. Six-month-old WAG/Rij rats had a lower cortical c-Met gene (P < 0.05) and protein expression (P < 0.001) as well as lower hippocampal and cortical protein distribution (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001) than the same-age Wistar rats.

Objectives: According to neuropathological changes in the mesial temporal lobe (MTL) before the onset of clinical symptoms and the relationship between the function of these structures and cognitive functions (such as visual memory, working memory, and new learning), we aimed to investigate the possibility of these cognitive functions as markers of transition from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD. Methods: In this case-control study, 15 patients with AD, 18 patients with MCI (from memory clinics of Tehran University of Medical Sciences), and 15 healthy people were compared using the 3 subtests of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), including spatial working memory (SWM), pattern recognition memory (PRM), and paired-associate learning (PAL). The tests were performed between 9 AM and 12 noon. The scores were compared by a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The mean ages of AD, MCI, and healthy groups were 68.66, 68.22, and 64.26 years, respectively. In terms of the SWM test, in 2 of 3 variables, there were significant differences between the 3 groups (P = 0.000 and P = 0.001). Regarding the PRM test, there were significant differences between the 3 groups in accuracy and response time (P = 0.000 and P = 0.004, respectively). Regarding PAL, there were significant differences between the 3 groups in all 3 variables (P = 0.000). The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were associated with almost all variable scores (P = 0.000).

Delirium leads to a longer hospital stay period, which in turn can result in an increase in hospital treatment costs and an increase in the risk of nosocomial infections. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of delirium and its risk factors in PICU pediatric. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 - 2022 in hospitals affiliated to Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. The data collection instruments included the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) questionnaire. Delirium was assessed by the researcher twice a day, in the morning and the evening. The assessment was carried out by a trained person, and the examination results were confirmed by an anesthesiologist who was a member of the research team. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS ver. 16. Results: According to our study results, the majority of the 89 examined patients were male (n = 52 cases, 59.8%), aged 13 - 16 years (n = 37 cases, 42.5%), and were admitted due to pneumonia (n = 24 cases, 27.6%). The prevalence of delirium was higher in patients with pain and those requiring oxygen therapy (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the overall prevalence of delirium in PICU patients was 25.3% (n = 22 cases). Conclusions: Investigating the prevalence of delirium in all age groups – pediatric and adolescents, in particular – was found to be extremely important. It was also found that the prevalence of delirium in PICU patients was significant; therefore, it was recommended that necessary preventive and medical interventions should be made to deal with these patients.","PeriodicalId":43970,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44232103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
