概括
脑后焦皮层刺激 (eFCS) 是一种新的治疗方法. 在一项对11名患者的研究中,认知功能在大约3年内保持稳定或改善,这表明大脑功能的一般安全性.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 神经学 神经学
- 发病学 (Epileptology) 是一个专业的学科.
背景情况:
- 耐药性焦点是一个重大的临床挑战.
- 脑后焦皮层刺激 (eFCS) 是一个新兴的CE认证的治疗选择.
- 了解eFCS的认知耐受性对于患者管理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估在患有抗药性焦点的患者中对脑后焦点皮层刺激 (eFCS) 的认知耐受性.
- 在35个月的中位数随访期间评估认知领域的变化.
- 为了确定认知变化是否与刺激部位或结果相关.
主要方法:
- 一个多中心观察性试验,涉及11名耐药焦点患者.
- 在主要的发作焦点上应用了eFCS.
- 在基线和第一次和最后一次随访时进行了全面的认知评估,使用可靠的变化指数.
主要成果:
- 大多数患者表现出稳定的认知表现.
- 在11名患者中,有3名患者在两次随访评估中显示多个认知参数的改善.
- 没有患者表现出持续的认知恶化;孤立的恶化是暂时的,与刺激部位或结局无关.
结论:
- 在药物耐药的焦点患者中,脑膜外侧焦点皮层刺激似乎在认知上被很好地容忍.
- 初步证据表明,eFCS对认知功能是安全的,即使在雄辩的大脑区域应用.
- 需要进行更大的队列研究来证实这些发现,并进一步阐明长期的认知影响.

Survey Safety
394
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Cognitive Dissonance
37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Household Wiring And Electrical Safety

Companies that supply power to most modern households use three conductors, typically called a three-wire line. While one is neutral, the other two are both at 120 V but with opposite polarity, giving a voltage of 240 V between them. With a three-wire line, high-power appliances that require 240 V, such as electric stoves and clothes dryers, are linked between the two hot lines. 120 V appliances can be connected between the neutral and either of the hot lines. The neutral side, which is always...

Association Areas of the Cortex
9.4K
Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

Language and Cognition
799
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Cognitive Therapy
1.0K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...
