1. Boosting the brain's recovery potential after stroke

"Neurostimulation increases neuroplasticity in various networks of the brain. We are priming the brain so that standard-of-care therapies can take patients closer to their pre-stroke abilities," says Zafer Keser, M.D., a neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The Food and Drug Administration has approved vagus nerve stimulation to treat moderate to severe upper extremity motor deficits — one of the most common deficits experienced after ischemic stroke. Mayo Clinic neurologists and neurosurgeons have extensive experience and expertise with vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of epilepsy.

2. Improving detection of respiratory insufficiency for patients with ALS

Mayo Clinic researchers have found that overnight pulse oximetry and maximum inspiratory pressure are valuable parameters for detecting early respiratory insufficiency in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As described in a Mayo Clinic study published online in Neurology, both tests performed better than forced vital capacity criteria.

Psychiatry faces a number of challenges, including the demedicalisation of mental disorders, the marginalization of psychiatrists and conflicting theoretical orientations for conceptualising mental distress. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Longdom Conferences extends immense pleasure in inviting you to join the “5th International Conference on Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences”. This will be one of the leading Psychiatry conferences.
