Enteric Nervous System: Regulation of GI Motor Activity01:11

Enteric Nervous System: Regulation of GI Motor Activity

1.7K
The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) plays a pivotal role in regulating gastrointestinal or GI motor activity. This complex network of nerves, deeply embedded within the gut wall, responds to changes in the gut environment and receives input from both the autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system. By doing so, the ENS operates various programs tailored to the body's nutritional status and needs.
During periods of fasting, the ENS initiates the migrating myoelectric complex, a...

Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

59
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.2K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

845
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Veins of Upper Limbs01:17

Veins of Upper Limbs

4.0K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Decongestants01:27

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Decongestants

860
Decongestants are a class of medications used primarily to alleviate nasal congestion, a common symptom resulting from allergies, colds, sinusitis, and other upper respiratory tract infections. These drugs work by activating α-adrenergic receptors, constricting small blood vessels in the nasal membranes. This action results in the opening of clogged nasal passages, thereby facilitating sinus drainage and relieving congestion.
Most decongestants are readily available over-the-counter in...

Summary

Accelerometry using bilateral upper extremities (UEs) can effectively screen children for motor deficits. The mono-arm use index (MAUI) offers a promising tool for assessing real-world pediatric motor behavior and identifying developmental delays.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neurology
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Developmental pediatrics

Background:

  • Affordable, quantitative methods are needed to screen children for developmental delays.
  • Motor milestones are key indicators of developmental progress and potential delays.
  • Accelerometry provides a method for collecting real-world data on pediatric motor behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a referent cohort of pediatric accelerometry data from bilateral upper extremities (UEs).
  • To determine if accelerometry-derived movement patterns can accurately differentiate children with and without motor deficits.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study involving 216 children aged 0-17 years.
  • Bilateral upper extremity (UE) motor activity was measured using wrist-worn accelerometers for 100 hours.
  • The mono-arm use index (MAUI) and bilateral-arm use index (BAUI) were developed to quantify unilateral and bilateral arm movements.

Main Results:

  • 185 children (156 typically developing, 29 with motor impairments) were analyzed.
  • The combined MAUI and BAUI, along with the use ratio, demonstrated high accuracy (Area Under Curve ~0.98) in distinguishing motor deficits.
  • These metrics showed similar performance in classifying asymmetric impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Bilateral upper extremity (UE) movement measured by accelerometry is a meaningful indicator of real-world motor behavior in children.
  • The mono-arm use index (MAUI) shows potential as an effective clinical tool for assessing children at risk for asymmetrical motor deficits.
  • Accelerometry-based screening can aid in early detection and management of developmental delays.
