A Neural Field Theory for Loss of Consciousness: Synaptic Drive Dynamics, System Stability, Attractors, Partial Synchronization, and Hopf Bifurcations Characterizing the Anesthetic Cascade
( Elsevier Inc. , 2016 , Book chapter)With the advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neurochemistry there has been impressive progress in understanding the molecular properties of anesthetic agents. However, there has been little focus on how the ... -
An Adaptive Joint Sparsity Recovery for Compressive Sensing Based EEG System
( Hindawi Limited , 2017 , Article)The last decade has witnessed tremendous efforts to shape the Internet of things (IoT) platforms to be well suited for healthcare applications. These platforms are comprised of a network of wireless sensors to monitor ... -
Application of FTIR and LA-ICPMS spectroscopies as a possible approach for biochemical analyses of different rat brain regions
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a non-destructive analytical technique that has been employed in this research to characterize the biochemical make-up of various rat brain regions. The sensorimotor cortex, ... -
Brain microstructural changes support cognitive deficits in HIV uninfected children born to HIV infected mothers
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)IntroductionAntiretroviral therapy (ART) is considered the most effective way to prevent perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, there is little knowledge about the effect of ART on the brain ... -
Brain Microstructural Changes Support Cognitive Deficits in Normal Children Born to HIVinfected Mothers
(2018 , Conference Proceedings)Synopsis In the current study, we evaluated the brain integrity [by mapping the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD)] and neurocognitive performance (NP) in normal children (NCI) born to HIV-infected ... -
Differentially expressed miRNA profiles of serum derived extracellular vesicles from patients with acute ischemic stroke
( Elsevier , 2024 , Report)BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in diverse cellular changes following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Circulating miRNAs, stabilized and delivered to target cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs), are potential ... -
EEG-based Analysis Study for Patients Receiving Intravenous Antibiotic Medication
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we conduct a biological data collection and analysis study for patients undergoing routine planned intravenous antibiotic treatment. The acquired data (i.e., Electroencephalogram (EEG), temperature and blood ... -
Electric vehicles charging management using machine learning considering fast charging and vehicle-to-grid operation
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained in popularity over the years. The charging of a high number of EVs harms the distribution system. As a result, increased transformer overloads, power losses, and voltage fluctuations may ... -
Evaluation of cadmium and mercury on cardiovascular and neurological systems: Effects on humans and fish
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Chemicals are at the top of public health concerns and metals have received much attention in terms of toxicological studies. Cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) are among the most toxic heavy metals and are widely distributed ... -
Fourier-transform infrared imaging spectroscopy and laser ablation -ICPMS new vistas for biochemical analyses of ischemic stroke in rat brain
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2018 , Article)Objective: Stroke is the main cause of adult disability in the world, leaving more than half of the patients dependent on daily assistance. Understanding the post-stroke biochemical and molecular changes are critical for ... -
Orthogonalized partial directed coherence for functional connectivity analysis of newborn EEG
(2012 , Conference Paper)The aim of this study is to develop a time-frequency method and test its applicability to investigating directional cortical connectivity in the newborn brain considering the effect of volume conduction. We modified ... -
Partial synchronization of biological neural networks and the anesthetic cascade
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)With the advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neurochemistry there has been impressive progress in understanding the molecular properties of anesthetic agents. However, there has been little focus on how the ... -
Performance evaluation for compression-accuracy trade-off using compressive sensing for EEG-based epileptic seizure detection in wireless tele-monitoring
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)Brain is the most important part in the human body controlling muscles and nerves; Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals record brain electric activities. EEG signals capture important information pertinent to different ... -
Physiological Intracranial Calcifications in Children A computed tomography-based study
