Introduction: Sciatica is a set of symptoms including pain that caused by compression and irritation of one of five spinal nerve roots of the left or right or both sciatic nerves. The pain is felt in the lower back and radiates to buttock and lower limb. Numbness and muscular weakness can occur which leads to difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. Both the straight leg raise and slump stretching techniques have been used in the treatment of sciatica with distal symptoms. So the purpose of ...

Effective connectivity (EC) amongst functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals is a quantitative measure of the strength of influence between brain activity associated with different regions of the brain. Evidently, accurate deciphering of EC gives further insight into the understanding of the intricately complex nature of neuronal interactions in the human brain. This work presents a novel approach to estimate EC in the human brain signals using enhanced fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs). ...

In the last few years, many research works have been suggested on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), which assists severely physically disabled persons to communicate directly with the help of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, generated by the thought process of the brain. Thought generation inside the brain is a dynamic process, and plenty thoughts occur within a small time window. Thus, there is a need for a BCI device that can distinguish these various ideas simultaneously. In this research wor...

Mammalian esophagus exhibits a remarkable change in epithelial structure during the tran- sition from embryo to adult. However, the molecular mechanisms of esophageal epithelial development are not well understood. Zebrafish (Danio rerio), a common model organism for vertebrate development and gene function, has not previously been characterized as a model system for esophageal epithelial development. In this study, we characterized a piece of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium simil...

Siva’s theories explained the necessity of new theory for description of the Universe, space ,time ,space-time and matter. It explained the formation of ‘space time continuum’ in terms of ‘Films of the universe’ and an effect of consciousness associated to living things. Thus it is required to bring consciousness in to physical laws and transformations. The relation between physical world and consciousness has been analyzed clearly and explained that consciousness, if we interpret in physics, mu...

Neuroinflammation is known as a key player in a variety of neurodegenerative and/or neurological diseases. Brain Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are leading elements in the initiation and progression of neuroinflammation and the development of different neuronal diseases. Furthermore, TLR activation is one of the most important elements in the induction of insulin resistance in different organs such as the central nervous system. Involvement of insulin signaling dysregulation and insulin resistance a...

ABSTRACT Background: Incidences of sudden deaths (SD) are increasing day by day, especially in younger people. During routine practice, forensic persons have to deal not only criminal, accidental and suicidal deaths, but a large amount of cases of sudden deaths also. Most of the sudden deaths of younger victims are unexpected, clinically unexplained or otherwise obscure. Aims & Objectives: The present study was undertaken to know the major contributory causes of death in young victims of sudde...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative brain disorder is the most common cause of dementia. To date, there is no causative treatment for AD and there are few preventive treatments either. The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator FTY720 (fingolimod) prevents lymphocytes from contributing to an autoimmune reaction and has been approved for multiple sclerosis treatment. In concert with other studies showing the anti-inflammatory and protective effect of FTY720 in some neurodegenerati...
