#Wearable sensor clears path to long-term EKG EMG monitoring Researchers from North carolina State university have developed a new, wearable sensor that uses silver nanowires to monitor electrophysiological signals, such as electrocardiography
(EKG) or electromyography (EMG. The new sensor is as accurate as the"wet electrode"sensors used in hospitals,
Electrophysiological sensors used in hospitals, such as EKGS, use wet electrodes that rely on an electrolytic gel between the sensor
"The new sensors are also compatible with standard EKG -and EMG-reading devices.""I think these sensors are essentially ready for use,
and read by the electrodes. s soon as we have understood the electroencephalography patterns produced by the groups of neurons in the brain,
physiological responses like blood pressure or respiratory rate are analysed in comparison to the physical activities of the patient.
For the study published in Heart Rhythm participants were hooked simultaneously up to an electrocardiogram (ECG) so results from the facial scan could be compared to the actual electrical activity of the heart.

#Loss of sleep after divorce can spike blood pressure Divorce-related sleep problems may be partly to blame for significant health problems,
Blood pressure was measured also at each of the three lab visits. Although researchers did not observe a relationship between sleep complaints
and blood pressure levels at the participantsfirst lab visits, they did observe a delayed effect, with participants showing increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in later visits as a function of earlier sleep problems. e saw changes in resting blood pressure were associated with sleep problems three months earlier.
Earlier sleep problems predicted increases in resting blood pressure over time, Sbarra says. A ontrivial bump Researchers also found that the longer people sleep problems persisted after their separation,

Decreases in stroke incidence and mortality are partly due to more successful control of risk factors such as blood pressure or smoking and to the wide use of statin medications to control cholesterol.

#EEG reveals image in short-term memory Researchers have tapped the rhythm of memories as they occur in near real time in the human brain.
Using electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes attached to the scalps of 25 student subjects, a team led by University of Oregon psychology doctoral student David E. Anderson captured synchronized neural activity
The new findings show that EEG measures of synchronized neural activity can precisely track the contents of memory at almost the speed of thought,
EEG, however, provides a much less expensive approach and can track mental activity with much a higher temporal resolution of about one-tenth of a second compared to about five seconds with fmri. ith EEG we get a fine-grained measure of the precise contents of memory,
while benefitting from the superior temporal resolution of electrophysiological measures, Awh says. his EEG approach is a powerful new tool for tracking
and decoding mental representations with high temporal resolution. It should provide us with new insights into how rhythmic brain activity supports core memory processes.

#Nerve-Stimulating Implant Could Lower Blood pressure An implantable device that reduces blood pressure by stimulating a nerve in the neck could someday be an alternative to drugs for controlling hypertension.
An implantable device would allow reducing the blood pressure in these patients either alone or in combination with the already applied medication says Dennis Plachta a microsystems engineer at the University of Freiburg in Germany.
The 20-millimeter-long cuff positions a set of electrodes on a region of the nerve that the team determined would specifically stimulate the changes in blood pressure.
and found that a certain stimulation pattern could reduce the rodents blood pressure by 40 percent without any major side effects.
He says all his patients are on several blood pressure medications and some find that side effects make the drug regimens difficult to maintain.
The worst part is that the blood pressure is still high which means they are at high risk for stroke heart failure
Bisognano says that nerve stimulation is a logical mechanism for controlling blood pressure. It is well known that the nervous system can regulate the tension of the body s arteries

#New receptor for controlling blood pressure discovered High blood pressure is a primary risk factor in the development of many cardiovascular diseases.
Through a reaction chain, this ultimately leads to a reduction in blood pressure. A range of factors is known to affect blood pressure.
However, there have been gaps in the research that has been conducted to date on the underlying molecular mechanisms.
A reason for this is that controlling blood pressure is one of the body most complex control functions.
Blood pressure levels are regulated primarily via certain arteries known as resistance vessels. Blood pressure rises when these vessels contract
and decrease in diameter. The opposite is also the case: when the vessels relax, blood pressure drops.
The actual state of tension in the blood vessels is regulated by the muscle cells in the vascular wall.
