When Eye Blinking Is a Problem! Blinking is a reflex, which means your body does it automatically. You can also make yourself blink when you want to. Excessive blinking is when you blink more than you want to. Babies and children only blink about two times per minute. By the time you reach adolescence, that increases to 14 to 17 times per minute. It stays at that number for the rest of your life. Eye Blink Counters in Medical Research: Clinical-grade devices developed for research in neurology and ophthalmology often incorporate blink counting technologies. These devices are used to study conditions like blepharospasm and Parkinson's disease by tracking blinking irregularities over time. For example, they are used in combination with EEG and EMG systems to monitor involuntary muscle movements related to blinking.below an example how they use this to monitor this: #Healthline #YM https://lnkd.in/eWfusctT

Basic knowledge about the vascular system of the Neck, Facial, and brain: - Carotid artery: RCCA and LCCA. - Carotid artery branches further: Internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery(ECA) - Vertebral artery: Right VA and Left VA. Having a keen understanding of the cardiovascular system adds value to our Clinical workflows like: 1. Help in understanding vessel anatomy, anomalies, and their origin. 2. Easy to understand about vessel's name and its branches. 3. Help in thinking about 3D reconstruction of Vessels(In mind) and helpful in making correct working projections. 4. Help in doing correct patient positioning and centering as per ROI. #knowledgesharing #knowledgetransfer #clinicalknowledge #neurointervention #interventionalradiology #clinicalapplicationspecialist #applicationspecialist

Iris details should be routinely evaluated as part of an age-related macular degeneration (AMD) screening protocol, as the presence of iris freckles may point to higher risk.

Various types of joints are associated with the ribs, and they are classified as either cartilaginous or synovial type joints. Overall, the following joints are associated with the ribs: 🔸 Sternochondral synchondrosis of the first rib - between the sternum and costal cartilage of rib 1; 🔸 Sternochondral joints - between the sternum and costal cartilages of ribs 2 to 7; 🔸 Costochondral joints - between the costal cartilages and ribs; 🔸 Costovertebral joints - between the vertebrae and ribs; these joints can be further subdivided into the joints of the heads of the ribs (between the heads of the ribs and the bodies of the corresponding vertebrae) and the costotransverse joints (between the costal tubercles and the transverse processes of the vertebrae); 🔸 Interchondral joints – between two or more costal cartilages.

The intricate network of corneal nerves may not directly reflect the function of our eyes. 👁️ Dr. Anat Galor et al's study involving 83 veterans at the Miami VA eye clinic reveals intriguing insights. 🔍 By assessing ocular symptoms and conducting detailed nerve analyses, they found that while many corneal metrics show weak correlations with tear production, only specific aspects—like corneal nerve fiber area—strongly relate to corneal sensation. This research underscores the complexity of ocular health and suggests caution in predicting eye function based solely on nerve anatomy. https://lnkd.in/gfU6gSaK #CornealHealth #VeteranResearch #Ophthalmology #EyeCare

🧠 Human Brain Matters 🧠 🧠 Brain Health Innovations Globally 🧠 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research invented systems and methods of use for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a brain or a spinal canal in a subject, for example, to treat hydrocephalus or other conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to a device comprising a flow controller positioned within a conduit that allows CSF to flow through the conduit from a first end to a second end. This may allow the CSF to drain, for example, from an intradural space (such as a thecal sac) into, for example, a paraspinal space, paraspinal vein or other venous space, or peritoneal cavity. A variety of methods may be used to hold or anchor the device in place, for example, an expansion apparatus. In some embodiments, the device can be implanted percutaneously at a location along or within a subject's spinal column, thus reducing the need for surgery, general anesthesia, and hospitalizations.
