Introduction:
|
|
| |
 |
Human brain is the most complex and intriguing creation of nature. It is said that, if humans were intelligent enough to understand the working of their own brain, their brain would be too complex for them to understand.
|
|
| |
To comprehend the functions and dysfunctions of brain, highly experienced and skilled team of neurosurgeons and neurophysicians is required. |
|
| |
Scope of Services: |
|
| |
| » |
Intensive care neurology for all critically ill patients and those suffering from coma, stroke, hemiplegia, etc. |
| » |
Emergency stroke services with 24 hrs availability of stroke team of doctors for emergency thrombolytic therapy of intra-arterial or intravenous thrombolysis, which is the first and most successful and fully equipped facility at our centre to combat all stroke cases. It is now well known that emergency treatment of stroke in first 3-6 hours can save patients and control paralysis. |
| » |
Management of coma. |
| » |
Management of paralysis patients and patients with haemorrhage. |
| » |
Infections of the brain and nervous system. |
| » |
Management of serious neuropathies like AIDP with ventilatory paralysis, serious metabolic brain disorders, etc. |

Electroencephalography is the neurophysiologic measurement of the electrical activity of the brain by recording from electrodes placed on the scalp or, in special cases, subdurally or in the cerebral cortex. |
|
| |
The resulting traces are known as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and represent an electrical signal (postsynaptic potentials) from a large number of neurons. These are sometimes called brainwaves, though this use is discouraged. The EEG is a brain function test, but in clinical use it is a "gross correlate of brain activity" [2]. Electrical currents are not measured, but rather voltage differences between different parts of the brain. |

An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles. When muscles are active, they produce an electrical current. This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity. |
|
| |
A An EMG is also referred to as a myogram. An EMG is most often performed when patients have unexplained muscle weakness. The EMG helps to distinguish between muscle conditions in which the problem begins in the muscle and muscle weakness due to nerve disorders. The EMG can also be used to detect true weakness, as opposed to weakness from reduced use because of pain or lack of motivation. |
