Neuromodulation in Practice: Case Studies
Neuromodulation is a cutting-edge medical technique that involves the targeted modulation of neural activity to alleviate symptoms of various neurological disorders. It encompasses a range of interventions, including electrical stimulation, chemical modulation, and magnetic fields, to influence neural pathways and brain function. This approach holds promise for treating chronic pain conditions, movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, and psychiatric disorders like depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Neuromodulation techniques often involve implantable devices, such as spinal cord stimulators or deep brain stimulators, which deliver precise stimulation to specific brain regions or nerves. Non-invasive methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are also gaining traction for their potential in neuropsychiatric applications. Research into neuromodulation continues to expand, with ongoing studies exploring its effectiveness in treating conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and addiction. The field of neuromodulation intersects with neuroscience, engineering, and medicine, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations to advance treatment options and improve patient outcomes.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
