Development, Application, and Mechanistic Investigation of a Novel Minimally-Invasive Bidirectional Epidural Cerebellar Stimulation Technique for Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome

Building on previous findings regarding microglial immune function and the immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids, this project centers on the cerebellum's role in cognitive science. Using Cushing's syndrome-induced cerebellar atrophy leading to CCAS as a model, we aim to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms governed by the neuro-adrenal-immune network and to uncover the molecular basis by which a novel minimally invasive brain-machine fusion system ameliorates cerebellar ataxia and cognitive impairment.

Study of Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor Expression in Natural Killer T Cells Expressing an Invariant T Receptor : Implication in the Pathophysiology of Systemic Lupus

This study evaluates the variation of expression of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) in Natural Killer T Cells Expressing an Invariant T Receptor (iNKT) and monocytes along with the surface expression of Fc gamma type II receptor (RII) and RIII in active or newly diagnosed lupus patients compared to inactive lupus patients.

Adding Shock Wave Therapy to Kinesio Taping Improves Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Physical Therapist Females.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping on relieving carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in physical therapist females. BACKGROUND: shockwave therapy is a popular non-invasive therapeutic modality in the medical field for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal disorders. Shockwaves can generate interstitial and extracellular responses, producing many beneficial effects such as: pain relief, vascularization, protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, neuro and chondroprotection, and destruction of calcium deposits in musculoskeletal structures. shockwave combined with conventional physiotherapy is an effective noninvasive treatment for mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome that produces greater and longer-lasting results than conventional physiotherapy alone HYPOTHESES: Adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females?
