Neuroprostheses capable of providing Somatotopic Sensory Feedback (SSF) enables the restoration of tactile sensations in amputees, thereby enhancing prosthesis embodiment, object manipulation, balance and walking stability. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) represents a primary noninvasive technique for eliciting somatotopic sensations. Devices commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS stimulation are often bulky and main powered.

This study examined the effects of vibratory stimulation on swallowing-related muscle strength in patients with dysphagia due to stroke, using three types of stimulators and a systematic exercise program. This study was conducted in two stages. In Experiment 1, we examined the effects of three types of vibratory stimulation on the pressure of the tongue and lips (N = 23).

Background: Prediabetes represents a transitional state in glucose metabolism with an increasing global and national prevalence, particularly in India. Recent evidence suggests that both thyroid dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammation may play pivotal roles in the progression of prediabetes to overt Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thyroid hormones regulate glucose metabolism, while inflammatory markers such as white blood cell (WBC) count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are indicators of systemic inflammation often elevated in metabolic disorders.

Purpose: Myocardial infarction (MI), the leading cause of human mortality, is induced by a sudden interruption of blood supply. Among various stem cell types, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are novel and valid cell sources for the restoration of vascularization in the ischemic tissue. The present study aimed to evaluate the regenerative properties of EPCs in rodent models of MI.

Objective: Transcranial ultrasound (US) stimulation (TUS) has emerged as a promising technique for minimally invasive, localized, deep brain stimulation. However, indirect auditory effects during neuromodulation require careful consideration, particularly in experiments with rodents. One method to prevent auditory responses involves applying tapered envelopes to US bursts.
