With the advent of auditory brainstem response tool a next-generation non-invasive tool- it is easy to treat hearing impairment disorder

 Advancement in the medical technology has made patient care safer and easy. The Auditory brainstem response (ABR) analyzer is one such advanced technology which is used to detect hearing impairement. Basically, auditory brainstem response (ABR) is the response of the auditory system when an external sound is present. The two types of auditory brainstem responses are reflexive AER and selective auditory AER. Reflexive AERs are induced when the brain hears a sound and responds by producing a response of the auditory nerve.Auditory Evoked Response (AER) is an auditory test that is performed by using electrodes to produce an auditory stimulation on one or both ears of a subject. Electromygial Recording (EMR) is a procedure that involves the use of two electrodes placed on two ears. The two electrodes cause different electrical signals in the ears. These are interpreted by a microphone that allows the doctor to listen to the brainwaves of a subject when he places a probe on one ear or the other.Auditory Evoked Response (AER) is an auditory test that is performed by using electrodes to produce an auditory stimulation on one or both ears of a subject.

These are interpreted by a microphone that allows the doctor to listen to the brainwaves of a subject when he places a probe on one ear or the other.

The primary goal of auditory brainstem response testing is to determine whether a patient is capable of hearing and responding to sound and whether he or she is suffering from a problem with hearing. If there is hearing impairment, then the doctor is looking for problems with speech processing, speech production, phonological processes, speech perception, memory, language processing, cochlear function, etc. If the brain has problems with the processing of speech, then the patient is experiencing a condition called sensorineural deafness.

There is a test known as EMR and ERP that can also be used to help determine if there is hearing loss. AER is based on detecting the difference in time between the appearance of an auditory stimulus (a sound) and the reaction of an auditory nerve when the stimulus is played. Electrostatics is another technique that uses electrodes to measure the change in time of arrival of sound and the difference in time of arrival of auditory nerve stimulation. In this test, the electrodes detect the electrical impulse that is evoked by the auditory stimuli and the brain produces the response.

The United States has well-established healthcare sector and government are investing heavily in the medical sector to improve the patient care.

Pregnancy Testing Devices are proving to be revolutionary tool with hassle-free testing and rapid results

Image
Pregnancy Testing Devices are medical devices that aid in identifying the potential of pregnancy. It is mostly used by pregnant women for determining the exact time they missed their periods. Pregnancy Testing Devices come in different types like basal body membrane technique (BBMT), digital analysis, embryo transfer method (ETM), ultrasonic Doppler microform method (UDM), and hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Pregnancy Testing Devices is also calling pregnancy test kits.  They can also be termed as basal body membrane technique test kits. Pregnancy test kits are available in various online stores at affordable prices. The most common one is kits for basal body membrane technique (BBMT) and digital analysis. BBMT uses a wet mount for conducting the test whereas digital analysis requires no dry mounts. Some of the other methods of analyzing pregnancy tests include determining the LH level, HCG level, sugar level, cervical mucus, and viral detection. A pregnancy test can also be used for d...

New Study Highlights Development of Algae That Rapidly Produces Natural Astaxanthin

Image
Astaxanthin, a colorless pigment found in the human body, is produced by the oxidation of a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. It occurs in nature in varying concentrations, and is widely utilized in food and cosmetic products for its rich optical, chemical, and pharmaceutical properties. It is widely recognized as a dietary supplement due to its therapeutic effect in a vast range of diseases and conditions ranging from cataracts to diabetes and heart disease. However, it has not been examined thoroughly in humans suffering from diabetes because of the difficulty in obtaining animal protein and the fact that humans cannot absorb pigments derived from animal source. The primary source of astaxanthin in foods or supplements is marine phytoplankton, which is fed to the animals as a marine nutrition supplement. Recently, in October 2019, scientists from Japan have discovered that single-stage astaxanthin production enhances the non-mevalonate pathway and photosynthetic central metabolism in...

Growing need for real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities is escalating demand for automotive telematics

Image
  Automotive telematics is the application of car tracking technology to monitor routes and assess the use of a fleet of vehicles. It includes the monitoring and diagnostics of the vehicle's diagnostics system, fuel systems, and emissions. The automotive telematics system provides real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities of a vehicle. Vehicle information systems are designed to meet the demands of customer requirements, ranging from personal vehicle tracking and diagnostics to fleet management. Telematics applications are usually deployed on the fleet management software. This application is specifically designed to manage all vehicle-related activities including fuel efficiency, emission monitoring, repair and maintenance history, tracking mileage and delivery status, and remote recovery of vehicle assets. The benefits of this application include a reduction in operation costs, increased productivity, reduction in theft and damage, and faster recovery of vehic...
