Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Anatomical Positions01:11

Anatomical Positions

23.3K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) enable the controlled release of drugs across the skin into systemic circulation. They are particularly advantageous for drugs with short half-lives or narrow therapeutic indices, as they maintain consistent plasma concentrations and reduce the risk of subtherapeutic or toxic levels.TDDS are categorized into monolithic, reservoir, and mixed systems. Monolithic systems embed the drug in a polymer matrix, where diffusion governs release. Reservoir systems...

GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Vibrotactile stimulation on the torso can alter posture by providing kinesthetic information. This torso cutaneous feedback acts like an internal positioning system for the upper body.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomechanics
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Torso cutaneous information is crucial for torso representation and postural control.
  • Previous research established the role of skin sensation in maintaining balance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if vibrotactile stimulation patterns can manipulate human posture.
  • To determine if altered postures correlate with specific spatial orientations.

Main Methods:

  • Ten healthy adults participated, standing in normal and Romberg stances.
  • Six vibrating actuators were placed on torso muscles (obliques, erector spinae).
  • Stimulation involved single or sequential 250-Hz vibrations in clockwise/counterclockwise patterns.

Main Results:

  • Postural responses to single and sequential stimuli were similar.
  • Torso inclinations followed paths dictated by stimulation locations.
  • Center of pressure remained stable, indicating no balance disruption.

Conclusions:

  • Torso cutaneous feedback possesses kinesthetic properties.
  • This feedback system may function as an internal positioning system for the upper body.
  • Stimulation patterns can predictably influence torso spatial configuration.
