Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been reported on its effect to reorganize the sensory neural network in central nervous system, similar as observations traditional invasive stimulation.

bilirubinometer is somewhat more effective than clinical screening. If both transcutaneous index and clinical acumen were used simultaneously there would be considerably fewer false-positive screens. Discussion Previous studies evaluating the transcutaneous bilirubinometer have been carried out in Japan by Yamanouchi et al.,2 and in the USA by Hegyi et al.3 Hegyi et al.3 obtained a correlation ...

conclusions tens can reduce postoperative pain in the early hours after inguinal hernia repair surgery. results the mean estimated postoperative pain intensity was 6.21 ± 1.63 in the intervention group and 5.45 ± 1.82 in the control group (p = 0.08). in the intervention group pain intensity at 2 and 4 hours after surgery were 3.54 ± 1.48 and 5.12 ± 1.41 (p < 0.001), respectively. in the control...

results roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 94% can predict hypoxemia (pao2 < 60 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95%. furthermore, there are associations between the roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 97% and detection of hypoxemia (pao2 < 70 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 46%. the accuracy of pulse oximetry was not affected by the severity of liver disease...

Transcutaneous capnography is a noninvasive method useful for analysis of the behavioral tendency of transcutaneous CO2 pressure (PtcCO2) in patients undergoing polysomnography, to evaluate respiratory sleep disorders. Objective: Determine normative PtcCO2 values in normal patients undergoing polysomnography. Method: One hundred seventy-nine patients who underwent polysomnography with simultane...

The recent vigorous transnational migration of people and materials reflecting the development of transportation facilities, changes in social structure, and war disasters has increased the global spread of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Vaccine, which is the major fundamental prophylaxis against infectious diseases, has greatly contributed to the maintenance and improvement of h...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE, Goretex) containing large pores made with a 21-gauge needle as a graft for the correction of lower lid retraction. METHODS e-PTFE grafts were implanted between the tarsus and lower lid retractor via a transconjunctival approach with/without amniotic membrane transplantation, or via a transcutaneous approach. ...
