Author : Suprakash Chaudhury, Pooja V, Mahesh Thakur, Daniel Saldanha. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The new decade brought with it the first pandemic of the social-media age - Coronavirus Disease 2019, popularly referred to as COVID-19. Despite similarities with the 2003 SARS pandemic, COVID-19 has much higher infectivity but lower mortality than SARS. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a total of 8422 people worldwide were affected with SARS, with 916 deaths. COVID-19, on the other hand, has already affected more than 10 million and had over 500,000 deaths. |

A Neuroscientific Study of the Brain Stimulator and Simulation Model to Predict Breakfast PPG Using GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine |
Author : Gerald C Hsu |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The author interprets the brain stimulator and its associated simulation model of predicted breakfast postprandial plasma glu-cose via a food or meal segmentation analysis and Sensor PPG waveform characteristics study. He has been using a continuous glucose monitoring device applied to his left upper arm and has collected 74 glucose data each day since 5/5/2018. However, by the mid-2019, he noticed that many of his post-breakfast glucose values escalated approximately one hour after the first bite of his breakfast, even when eating pure protein such as eggs without any carbs/sugar content. Therefore, during October of 2019, he modi-fied his computer software to sort out different food contents and processed their associated PPG waveforms. By using a pure protein egg breakfast case study, this research paper offers some explanations to his speculation and hypothesis on how when eating food, this would prompt the brain to send an order to the liver to start the glucose production. This paper further links the functions of our brain, liver, and pancreas working together. |

Defeating the Devil in the Waste: Remediation of Infectious Covid-19 Waste |
Author : Sachin Kumar, Pinky Kain |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The Covid-19 infectious-biomedical waste generated from the health care and research activities are posing a huge invisible threat. The waste containing many deadly microorganisms, their toxins and particularly Corona Virus are posing a risk of infection relapse and occurrence of future infection waves. Workers who are involved in taking care of this waste are at risk of getting exposed to Covid-19 and other dangerous biological agents by punctures/cuts (contaminated sharps), skin-mucous contact/projection of blood or biological fluids, ingestion or inhalation of contaminated particles. |

Centralized Pain: Status Review and Medical Management |
Author : Ihsan F Shanti, Bilal F Shanti, Ali Otom, Ali Al Rjoub, Khalil Al-Abbadi. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Centralized pain is non-fatal disorder linked to permanent changes and chaotic imprinting of pain inputs within the central nervous system. This occurs without obvious logical reasons that we know of. This persistent heightened alert of the nervous system is very exhausting to the patients and their families. The magnitude of other symptom comorbidities makes this pain entity even more challenging to diagnose and treat. Fortunately, recent research discoveries have introduced a few theories such the concept of glial activation and neuroinflammation as having some plausible role in this complex syndrome. This review manuscript will seek to explain and simplify some of the non-procedural clinical medical management options available to date, as tools for us, clinicians, to fight this painful entity. |

Brain Imaging and Aging |
Author : Shimon Shatzmiller, Galina M Zats, Inbal Lapidot. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Brain imaging is one of the main obstacles of modern disease diagnostics since it has to allow accurate and quantitative measurements on a living organ that is placed in adults (in neonatal humans skull penetration is somewhat easier) inside a bone cage. Inside is the brain, the main function controller of our body that has to be done in a non-invasive way on the living operation brain. Many spectroscopic methods are trying to overcome the difficult access to the brain: Photoacoustic microscopy, Confocal microscopy, Two-photon microscopy, Optical coherence tomography, Scanning Laser Acoustic Microscopy, Acoustic microscopy, Ultrasonography, positron tomography, fluorescence methods, photo caustic microscopy and multy (two) photon imaging spectroscopy. The situation is complex since the brain is wrapped in the blood brain barrier allowing only selected molecules to pass from the blood stream to and out of the brain. |

Concussion in Older Population |
Author : Oyeneyin Babatunde David, Opeyemi Oluwasanmi Adeloye, Oyeneyin Oluwatosin. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Concussion present with many symptoms but the most common is headache. Other symptoms include dizziness, nausea, imbalance or vertigo, fatigue or drowsiness, sensitivity to light and noise, amnesia (which is a typical feature), abnormal behavior and seizure. At old age, the human skull has an increased space as the brain begin to shrink just like the other body tissues which experience the same physical changes due to ageing. Subduralhematoma, easily occur in the aged brain vessels following an accident and could be worsened when patient is on anti-inflammatory drugs. In this study, we critically review the current knowledge of concussion in the older populations. |

The Brain and Consciousness |
Author : Mette Mouritsen |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :A “knee experience” is a complicated process that requires coordination of the skin cell’s recording of touches and the muscletendon’s registration of position and more in order to bring a mental image to the brain. The brain cannot by itself generate the experience "knee," it requires a lived experience of the knee at the cellular level, which in all provides an awareness and remembrance of “knee.” The experience of knee thus requires information from several different cells and direct contact. There must be something or someone that relate to the knee by touching it, before the knee can be experienced to its full, otherwise it will just be a mental image, which also is an experience of “knee,” however it is entirely a mental image. |

Death and Consciousness |
Author : Mette Mouritsen |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :From science we know that energy does not disappear, it just turns into another form of energy. Like ice, which melts into water that turns in to clouds into air into new clouds and water and perhaps into ice once more. From form to formlessness to another form. An eternal life cycle. So with human existence, our body is undergoing transformation during a lifetime. After death the formless consciousness that brought life into the body leaves the body, which in turn is trans-formed into atoms. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Personality disorders (PD) in adolescence are widespread. It creates problems of social adaptation of patients and represents
significant risk factors for auto-aggressive behavior, including suicidal one. The neurobiological basis and EEG markers of PD in
adolescence have not been adequately studied. The aim of the study was identification of EEG features and their correlations with
clinical parameters in adolescent patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), possibly mediating some aspects of their clinical traits. |

Investigating the Impact of Prenatal Training on Anxiety Sensitivity and Control in Stress-prone Pregnant Women |
Author : Sara Amouzandeh*, Mojgan Agah Heris and Gholam Hossein Javanmard |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of prenatal training on modulating anxiety sensitivity and anxiety
control perception in stress-prone pregnant women. A quasi xperimental study was conducted on 125 volunteers by convenience sampling method and 40 persons were randomly selected and divided into two groups (experimental/control). Each individual has answered the pregnancy anxiety, anxiety control perception and anxiety sensitivity questionnaires before and after training. During the training, experimental techniques and healthy lifestyle were taught during 8 sessions of 120 minutes. Experimental results, with Cronbach’s alpha higher than 0.92, indicate that stress management training combined with healthy lifestyle techniques increased anxiety control perception (p < 0.05), while decreasing perceived stress and pregnancy anxiety in stress-prone pregnant women (p< 0.05). Moreover, the results show that psychological training during pregnancy, such as relaxation and healthy lifestyle, reduces pregnancy anxiety, perceived stress and increases anxiety control perception in pregnant women prone to stress. |

Omicron Variant: Characteristics and Interaction |
Author : Simranjeet Kaur Akshita and Amandeep Singh* |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :On 26 November 2021, WHO designated the variant B.1.1.529 a
variant of concern, named Omicron, on the advice of WHO’s Tech-
nical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution (TAG-VE). This decision
was based on the evidence presented to the TAG-VE that Omi-
cron has several mutations that may have an impact on how it
behaves, for example, on how easily it spreads or the severity of
illness it causes. |
