Melatonin and your heart share a deeper connection than most people realize. You might take a tablet of melatonin to help you sleep after a long day — but did you know this “natural” hormone might have effects far beyond your bedroom? Recent studies have raised red flags about its long-term impact on heart […]

Introduction Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Neurophysiology is fundamentally transforming the field, revolutionizing how neurologists and clinical neurophysiologists interpret electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), and neuroimaging data. The integration of machine learning (ML) and deep learning algorithms has evolved from experimental research to practical clinical applications, with AI systems now achieving diagnostic accuracy
Abstract:Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe, paroxysmal facial pain syndrome resulting from focal demyelination and neuronal hyperexcitability within the trigeminal system. This review synthesizes current knowledge on its pathophysiology, diagnostic framework, and evidence-based treatment strategies, offering clinicians a comprehensive update on this complex neuropathic pain disorder. Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most excruciating
Introduction: Why Diabetic Neuropathy Matters Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most frequent complications of diabetes, affecting nearly half of all people with diabetes during their lifetime. It can cause pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and autonomic dysfunction — symptoms that severely affect mobility, sleep, and quality of life. As global diabetes rates continue to rise,

🔵 Note: This article is intended for healthcare professionals and contains advanced medical information. Introduction Traumatic pelvic injuries are often associated with vascular or visceral damage, but isolated peripheral nerve involvement is less frequently reported. Among these, femoral neuropathy is particularly rare and may be overlooked if not systematically assessed. Electromyography (EMG) plays a crucial

Introduction Sleepwalking in adults triggered by sleep deprivation (somnambulism) is often associated with children, but it can persist or appear in adulthood, sometimes leading to significant health and safety concerns. One of the strongest triggers identified in adults is sleep deprivation or “sleep debt.” Clinical studies have shown that lack of sleep can dramatically increase
🔵 Note: This article is intended for healthcare professionals and contains advanced medical information. 1. Introduction Brain waves (or neural oscillations) are rhythmic, repetitive patterns of neural activity occurring in the central nervous system. They are measured non-invasively via electroencephalography (EEG) and sometimes via magnetoencephalography (MEG). Brain waves are key to understanding cognition, sleep, consciousness,

🔵 Note: This article is intended for healthcare professionals and contains advanced medical information. 1. Introduction Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test used in clinical neurophysiology to assess the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It helps evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control them. Why it matters: EMG
Note: This article is written for the general public, using simple and accessible language Introduction Living with epilepsy can be challenging on its own. But for many people, seizures are not the only battle—they also experience depression. Studies show that depression is one of the most common mental health conditions in people with epilepsy,

🟢 Note: This article is written for the general public, using simple and accessible language. Shingles (zona) is a painful condition caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. To reduce this risk, the recombinant shingles vaccine Shingrix has been widely recommended, especially for adults over 50. However, concerns have emerged about a potential association
