Electrocoagulation ("electro", meaning to apply an electrical charge to water, and "coagulation", meaning the process of changing the particle surface charge, allowing suspended matter to form an agglomeration) is an advanced and economical water treatment technology. It effectively removes suspended solids to sub-micrometre levels, breaks ...
Electrical brain stimulation. Chronic subcortical electrode implant in a laboratory rat used to deliver electrical stimulation to the brain. Electrical brain stimulation ( EBS ), also referred to as focal brain stimulation ( FBS ), is a form of electrotherapy used as a technique in research and clinical neurobiology to stimulate a neuron or ...
Electroconvulsive therapy ( ECT) or electroshock therapy ( EST) is a psychiatric treatment where a generalized seizure (without muscular convulsions) is electrically induced to manage refractory mental disorders. [ 1] Typically, 70 to 120 volts are applied externally to the patient's head, resulting in approximately 800 milliamperes of direct ...
Specialty. Neurology. Extrapyramidal symptoms ( EPS) are symptoms that are archetypically associated with the extrapyramidal system of the brain's cerebral cortex. When such symptoms are caused by medications or other drugs, they are also known as extrapyramidal side effects ( EPSE ). The symptoms can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term).
Users must be directly monitored for two hours after each dose because of the potential for side effects including loss of consciousness or sedation and dissociation, or a feeling of being ...
Electrosurgery. A surgeon using a monopolar RF electrosurgical instrument to coagulate (and desiccate) tissue in the excision of a lipoma. MeSH. D004598. [ edit on Wikidata] Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate ...
Cholinergic crisis. Cholinergic crisis. Other names. Cholinergic toxicity, cholinergic poisoning, SLUDGE syndrome. A cholinergic crisis is an over-stimulation at a neuromuscular junction due to an excess of acetylcholine (ACh), [ 1] as a result of the inactivity of the AChE enzyme, which normally breaks down acetylcholine.
Tardive dyskinesia is believed to involve the neurotransmitter dopamine. Tardive dyskinesia ( TD) is a disorder that results in involuntary repetitive body movements, which may include grimacing, sticking out the tongue or smacking the lips. [ 1] Additionally, there may be chorea or athetosis. [ 1] In about 20% of people with TD, the disorder ...
