employed to curb this deadly disorder as well as essential tremor. The method involves the patients undergoing surgery. This surgery uses some high technology to treat neuropsychiatric disorders for Parkinson 's disease. There are various reasons why deep brain stimulation can be considered the answer to this deadly brain disorder. There has been an observation that most people do reduce medication after undertaking…
Once learning the basics about Cerebral Palsy (CP), I chose to dig deeper into the more modern diagnostic tools and treatments. As an aspiring Audiologist, I looked into tools I would one day use if I were on a case with an individual with CP and found an article about the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) tool that is being used to determine hearing loss and likelihood of other related disabilities in tandem with CP. The study done showed significance in correlation with most other causes of CP…
The healthcare industry’s perennial reliance on pharmaceuticals, from giants like Roche or Pfizer, while bolstering the quality of life for well-developed nations, often overshadows upcoming advances or developments in therapeutic treatment. A rather niche approach, bioelectronic medicine, is particularly attractive to the field of biomedical engineering, relying less on biochemistry than an integration of device and neurology. Georgina Casey, nursing lecturer at Auckland University of…

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat a variety of disabling neurological symptoms, most commonly symptoms, of Parkinson’s disease. This specific procedure is used to treat individuals whose symptoms cannot be controlled my medication alone (Breit et al, 2004). DBS uses a surgically implanted, battery-operated medical device called an implantable pulse generator (IPG) to deliver electrical stimulation to specific areas in the brain that control movement, thus…
