Creating an apparatus that reduces death as a result of blood poisoning
A research team led by the University of California in San Diego has created a unique apparatus that can be worn to measure activity in human cervical nerves in clinical environments. The cervical nerves are a group of spinal nerves that come from the cervical spine, which are eight pairs, called C1 to C8, and are responsible for the moving signals between the brain, different parts of the body, especially the head, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. The apparatus can perform the so -called the involuntary nervous system, which is a nerve activity of the vague nerve, carotist nerve in humans, in addition to other involuntary nerves found in the skin and neck muscles. Blood poisoning and vague nerve “highway” for the involuntary nervous system, with extensions stretching from the base of the skull over the stem, abdomen to affect the digestion, heart rate and immune system. The researchers believe that the ability to monitor the activity of vague nerve is not surgical, a profound effect on medical research, treatment and understanding of cases such as: sepsis or ‘blood poisoning’, which is a life -threatening inflammatory response, and the death of 48 million people, including 20 million children, causes the world annually. Similarly, patients with post -traumatic disorder, which is 3.9 % of the world population, can also benefit from this innovative approach; By providing detailed visions on involuntary nerve activity, the device can provide new views on the physiological foundations of PTSD, leading to interventions and more effective treatments. The portable apparatus has the ability to revolutionize how doctors monitor clinical patients, and to treat cases related to involuntary nervous balance, and with research progress, the effects of improving the results of patients and improving our understanding of the nervous system. According to the “Nature Community” magazine, the researchers designed a group of flexible poles, integrated with an adhesive to detect nerve activity, deep into an excessive clinical model. Usually, doctors in the intensive care rooms plant a group of microspole surgically to stimulate the vague nerve, but the new device uses a strong technology called ‘nerve -magnetic imaging’, to more precisely the introduction of the neutral nerves in a real time. Blood infection The system detects the magnetic fields arising from activity in the vague nerve and the carotis nerve, which “beat” to warn the involuntary nervous system of the threat. The researchers tested the device at nine adults as the blood of patients and their blood plasma was tested; To find out essential levels of infections, called ‘cytokines’. Thereafter, they were injected with a kind of fatty cut to cause temporary, excessive inflammation, which led to an excessive, excessive inflammatory condition in the body that mimics inflammation associated with a blood infection. Within a magnetic protected room at the California University Institute of the Qualcomia Institute, researchers place the researchers sensors of their device at the vague nerve points below the right ear, and above the judge walled carotis artery, where there is both the vagus nerve, the carotist nerve, the system has the heartbeat and the magnetical fields of the activity of nerves. Within half an hour of injection of the patient, the device discovered changes in their nerve activity under the right ear, and the researchers confirmed the high activity of nerves and the release of inflammatory proteins by blood samples, and they also recorded changes in the heartbeat, in addition to a noticeable connection between the release of nerves in both sites. Patients suffering from high levels of tumor -neck indicators suffer from a greater risk of developing a “deadly shock”, which is a deadly state as the inflammatory response of the body exceeds the limit, causing devastating effects on the system level that can eventually lead to death. In the case of ‘sepsis’, every minute has its importance and early treatments saving lives, and the researchers say that early sepsis detection is very important. Every hour when the sepsis is not treated, the likelihood of death increases by up to 7%. Technology can provide doctors with an early warning mark for excessive immune suppressant, or sepsis, and doctors can then provide the right treatment as quickly as possible. Usually; Some patients show higher symptoms in the presence of inflammatory protein and stronger side effects, while the symptoms of others were less, and by using this technique, doctors may identify sub -groups of patients with a greater risk of excessive immune response, immune paralysis, both of which contribute to complications and intestines. The device can also be used to determine whether treatments reduce inflammation in the body, understand the nervous system, and inflammation, better in people with post -traumatic disorder and other mental health, in addition to the dose treatments that target the patients for patients. Developing a bearable and non -surgical apparatus to measure the activity of the cervical nerve is a milestone in clinical neuroscience; By enabling the detailed study to photograph involuntary nerves, this technology paves the way for innovative treatments and improving critical health conditions.
