1. Co-administration of sodium hydrosulfide and tadalafil modulates hypoxia and oxidative stress on bladder dysfunction in a rat model of bladder outlet obstruction
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to assess the possible healing effect of combination treatment with a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) plus tadalafil on partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO)-induced bladder dysfunction. Materials and Methods: A total of 75 male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 10-wk and 300-350g were divided into fiv

2. Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in patients with supraspinatus tendon tear
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound (US), and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) combination with TENS and US therapy alone in patients with supraspinatus tear. METHODS: Forty patients were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into two gr

3. New insight on the relationship between lethal electrical fields versus cardiomyocyte orientation
Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular diseases represent a major cause of death world-wide and one of their greatest complications is the development of cardiac arrhythmias, in which ventricular fibrillation (VF) stands out as the most severe one. The only therapy that reverses VF is defibrillation. However defibrillatory shock is capable of killing heart c

4. Power amplifier circuits for functional electrical stimulation systems
Abstract Introduction: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a technique that has been successfully employed in rehabilitation treatment to mitigate problems after spinal cord injury (SCI). One of the most relevant modules in a typical FES system is the power or output amplifier stage, which is responsible for the application of voltage or current puls

5. β-Citronellol, an alcoholic monoterpene with inhibitory properties on the contractility of rat trachea
β-Citronellol is an alcoholic monoterpene found in essential oils such Cymbopogon citratus (a plant with antihypertensive properties). β-Citronellol can act against pathogenic microorganisms that affect airways and, in virtue of the popular use of β-citronellol-enriched essential oils in aromatherapy, we assessed its pharmacologic effects on the contracti

6. Testing electrode suitability for field stimulation of high-threshold biological preparations
IntroductionA problem posed by electrical field (E) stimulation of biological preparations with high excitation threshold is that the E intensity required for excitation is likely to induce water electrolysis at the electrode surface, which can alter the extracellular medium and cause deleterious effects on the cells. In this study, different electrode mater

7. Retrolabyrinthine approach for cochlear nerve preservation in neurofibromatosis type 2 and simultaneous cochlear implantation
INTRODUCTION: Few cases of cochlear implantation (CI) in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients had been reported in the literature. The approaches described were translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid or middle cranial fossa. OBJECTIVES: To describe a case of a NF2- deafened-patient who underwent to vestibular schwannoma resection via RLA with cochlear nerve pres

8. Electrical stimulation and electromagnetic field use in patients with diabetic neuropathy: systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, and pharmacological therapies are ineffective in many patients. Therefore, other treatment modalities should be considered, including electrical stimulation and electromagnetic fields. OBJECTIVES: The research objective was to evaluate the effect of treatment w

9. Dorsal periaqueductal gray stimulation facilitates anxiety-, but not panic-related, defensive responses in rats tested in the elevated T-maze
The escape response to electrical or chemical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (DPAG) has been associated with panic attacks. In order to explore the validity of the DPAG stimulation model for the study of panic disorder, we determined if the aversive consequences of the electrical or chemical stimulation of this midbrain area can be dete

10. Caracterização da disfunção erétil em camundongos obesos tratados com dieta hiperlipídica / Characterization of erectile dysfunction in obese mice fed a high-fat diet
The prevalence of obesity is increasing every year, and a becoming a major public health problem. Obesity is considered an important risk factor for development of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus type 2 and arterial hypertension. These are risk factors that act synergistically in the development of erectile dysfunction. However, so far fe

11. Contribuições para a análise de sinais neuronais e biomédicos
Following the new tendency of interdisciplinarity of modern science, a new field called neuroengineering has come to light in the last decades. After 2000, scientific journals and conferences all around the world have been created on this theme. The present work comprises three different subareas related to neuroengineering and electrical engineering: neural

12. In vivo photorelease of GABA in the mouse cortex
Electrical stimulation has been used for more than 100 years in neuroscientific and biomedical research as a powerful tool for controlled perturbations of neural activity. Despite quickly driving neuronal activity, this technique presents some important limitations, such as the impossibility to activate or deactivate specific neuronal populations within a si
