Effects of Exergaming on Repetitive Behaviors and Cognition Impairment of Autistic Children
Abstract: Physical exercise decreases repetitive behaviors in autistic children and improves cognitive function across the lifespan. Exergaming combines physical and mental exercise simultaneously by linking physical activity movements to visual feedback control and yield better compliance with exercise. Fifteen children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) completed on Dance-Dance-Revolution (DDR); fifteen additional youths completed on cyber cycling. Repetitive behaviors and executive functions were measured before and after each activity. Repetitive behaviors significantly …

Power Spectral Study of Heart Rate Variability Time Series by the Adaptive Modified Continuous Morlet Wavelet Transform
Abstract: In this paper, a newly developed method referred as adaptive modified continuous Morlet wavelet transform has been proposed to improve the energy concentration in the time-frequency domain. The improvement is achieved by introducing the shape parameter to the Morlet function that is known as modified Morlet function. To make it adaptive, the modified Morlet function was optimized by concentration measure based on automatic determination algorithm. The proposed method was validated …

Therapeutic Treatment of Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: Single Case Report
Abstract: Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute inflammatory demyelinating poly-radiculoneuropathy (AIDP) characterized by weakness and a reflexia, typically. The cause of AIDP is still unknown, with suspicions of viral or bacterial infection preceding diagnosis. It can affect people of all ages, gender, or ethnic background, with equal incidence rate in both men and women. The incidence rate for AIDP is rare, affecting 1–2 people in 100,000 annually. Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly-radiculoneuropathy …

A Rare Cause of Parkinsonism—Manganese Toxicity
Abstract: A 43-year-old male presented with six months history of gradual onset and progressive bradykinesia, tremors of upper limbs and walking difficulty in the form of imbalance and short shuffling gait. He also had slurring of speech with hypophonia. Neurological examination revealed slow broken saccades, rigidity with cogwheeling, bradykinesia and short shuffling, festinant gait. He had action and postural tremors of upper limbs. Pull test was positive. Thus, a diagnosis of …

A Clinical Correlation Made Between Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia and Hyperkatifeia with Brain Alterations Induced by Long-term Prescription Opioid Use
Abstract: The goal of this article is to establish a correlation between the clinical manifestations of opioid-induced hyperalgesia and hyperkatifeia with the morphological and functional connectivity changes seen in the human brain that can be caused by long-term prescription opioid use. This will be accomplished by reviewing the imaging results found in a small but unique study that demonstrated morphological and functional connectivity changes in long-term prescription opioid users. The primary …

Stem Cell Therapy for Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Single Case Study Report
Abstract: Stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stem cell therapy holds a great promise where transplanted cells can migrate at the site of injury and trigger regeneration of neurons that can lead to functional improvement. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of autologous bone marrow and allogeneic cord blood stem cell transplantation in hemorrhagic stroke patients. In the present case report, autologous bone …

Microsurgical Neurolysis, Dorsal Transposition and Nerve Wrap of Morton’s Interdigital Neuroma: A Novel Technique
Abstract: The treatment of Morton’s neuroma is varied with multiple options, both surgical and non-surgical. However, surgical treatment is indicated for persistent, severe, and recurrent forefoot pain whereby conservative measures have failed. The choice of surgical technique is controversial and depends on the patient presentation and surgeon preference. The key mantras in the successful treatment of this challenging condition are thorough clinical evaluation, proper patient selection, preoperative counselling, and meticulous surgical …

Organogenesis: Philosophy of Traditional Unani and Arab Medicine versus Modern Medicine
Abstract: The body is made up of different organs, which enable it to support the various structures and functions. These organs are developed from denser part of Akhlat (Humours) and Akhlat are made from Arkan (Basic constituents); every organ has its own functions but depends on other organ to perform them. There are two types of organs in human body, simple and compound, simple organs are homogeneous as their parts are …

Concept of “Tabi‘at” with a Brief Description of Its Synchronised Activity
Abstract: Unani System of medicine stands to maintain the health and cure the disease with an emphasis on prevention is better than cure. The ancient Unani philosopher-physicians put forth the concept of “Tabi‘at” as the power endowed by nature to everyone to govern the task of survival. Tabi‘at is the Sayyad-ul-Quwa (supreme power) under which many other subsequent powers work. In general, Tabi‘at regulates all physiological functions in the body, broadly …

Evaluation of Safety of Unani Pharmacopieal Majoon-e-Lana in Cases of Neurasthenia
Abstract: Neurasthenia, referred to as Zof-e-Asaab in the Unani system of medicine, is a functional disorder characterized by generalized weakness of the nervous system. Individuals suffering from this condition commonly experience persistent fatigue, reduced physical and mental performance, low mood, irritability, disturbed sleep, and, in some cases, elevated blood pressure. Although various conventional treatment options are available for symptom management, no specific curative therapy has been established. Furthermore, long-term use of …

Machine Learning Approach to Detect and Analyze Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Abstract: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with attention, impulse control, behavioral regulation, and daily functioning that persist across childhood and adulthood. Clinical diagnosis is predominantly based on behavioral assessments and expert interpretation, which may result in subjectivity and delayed clinical decisions. To reduce reliance on subjective evaluation, this study introduces an automated ADHD identification framework that integrates resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) with advanced machine …

Fabrication, Interfacial Characterization, and Superparamagnetic Properties of Fe₃O₄@γ-Fe₂O₃ Core/Shell Nanoparticle-Reinforced Chitosan Biopolymer Composites
Abstract: Magnetite/maghemite core/shell nanoparticles were prepared by alkaline co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) precursors followed by controlled thermal oxidation at 350 °C and subsequently incorporated into chitosan at 1, 3, and 5 wt% loadings by solution casting. The resulting films were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile testing. XRD showed the characteristic cubic spinel reflections …

Integration of Green-Synthesized Calcium Nanoparticles in Natural Polymer Matrices by Bio-Nanocomposite Approach to Calcium Fortification
Abstract: Calcium deficiency continues to pose a widespread nutritional challenge, particularly in vulnerable populations. In this study, a bio-nanocomposite-based fortification strategy was developed using calcium nanoparticles (CaNPs) synthesized via green chemistry from Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi keerai) leaf extract. The nanoparticles, ranging between 50–150 nm in size, were characterized by SEM and embedded into buckwheat flour a naturally polymer-rich food matrix containing proteins, starch, and dietary fibers. The resulting system mimicked polymer …
