Where did you hear about this medication? I am a paramedic and I have never heard of it.  To most healthcare professionals, the term "neurocheck" refers to a particular physical exam conducted to assess a patient's neurological status.  Is it possible that you may have mistaken the meaning of "neurocheck" as being a med when actually it's a physical exam?

It's indicated for hypothermic patients.  It works by generating heat that is absorbed by the body to help bring the core body temperature back to normal.  I think that's what you're asking.

The two applications that are used in my city are for cardiac surgery and prostate surgery.  We use a robot called the DaVinci system.\n\nIt's really cool to watch, but the big problem is that due to costs, it doesn't make the hospital any money.  In fact, it can also be a money loser.\n\nFrom a patient perspective however, it does make healing time go a lot faster.\n\nHere's the website for the DaVinci robot: http://www.intuitivesurgical.com/products/index.aspx

This is the first time I've ever answered a question on Yahoo!Answers, so I'm sorry if I do something wrong, especially since I don't have an answer to this question, but one you posted previously. You didn't get a really satisfying answer, so I thought maybe I could add a little to it. You asked if doctors still practice electroshock therapy. Yes, they do, but the correct term is electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT. It's used for certain types of depression, including treatment resistant depression in which a patient has tried a number of psychotropic medications but seen no benefit, for elderly patients for whom adding medications to the cocktail they already take may cause confusion, for severe depression where fast results are desired (for example for someone who is seriously suicidal), and probablya few things I'm not aware of. I know it's also used to treat a rare disorder known as post-pregnancy psychosis for new moms who suddenly become psychotic. Like I said, it's pretty rare. \n\nECT is actually one of the most effective treatments for depression, but thanks to it's misuse in the early and mid-20th century it got a bad name. Nowadays it's done under general anesthetic and with muscle relaxants to prevent the physical seizure symptoms (like in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" where it looks like Jack Nicholson is actually being electrocuted. It's not like that anymore.). No one really knows why it works, but it does for most people who receive it. \n\nThere are some side effects, like nausea, headaches and memory loss, but the nausea and headaches can be dealt with through medication, and the memory loss is usually temporary.\n\nHope this helps. \n\nSorry, I don't know much about sexual addictions, but a behavior isn't generally considered an addiction unless you need an increasing amount of it to satisfy your desire and it begins to interfere with daily life.

I don't think I am going to be able to answer this short and sweet.\n\nBut here's some information to get you started.\nThe "Congress of Neurological Surgeons" has a good intro to\nneurological surgery.\nHere's some excerpts:\n\n"Neurological surgery or “Neurosurgery” is the surgical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with injury to, and diseases of, the brain, spine, or peripheral nerves. As more than just “brain surgeons”, neurosurgeons may provide either surgical or non-surgical care for a variety of disorders including......"\n\n"Neurosurgeons are more than just brain surgeons. These medical specialists are trained to help patients with head and spine trauma; cerebrovascular disorders, such as aneurysms of the brain and clogged arteries in the neck that can lead to stroke; chronic low back pain; birth defects; brain and spinal tumors; and abnormalities of the peripheral (face, arms, legs, hands and feet) nerves. "\n\nAs to the main and most often peformed neurological procedures,\nthe lastest information I could find was from 1996 (and this is from the Centers for Disease Control, an agency of the US government) I used to work in the government documents section of an academic library...it takes the US govt years to collect and organize and publish statistical information...for various reasons as the sheer size of some of the subject matters.\n\nThe best thing to do is to to http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hdasd/13_139t9.pdf and pick\nout the neurosurgical procedures using the information from the above web site which names various procedures. \n\nHoping this helps,\nif not, don't hesitate to email me\n\nJanice\njmflahiff@yahoo.com

There are some good studies to support its use, mostly done in Germany.  The findings suggest that it is effective for mild depression.  It also seems to have some effect of MAOI medications (which if you'll notice there are a ton of restrictions on other medications and MAOI's together).  Therefore if you are taking any other medication read the precautions carefully.

I have used it for years. A doctor told me it was a smart form of exercise because it involves the entire body. It was great to me for weight loss, to help with depression, and lethargy. I have recommended it numerous times.

As I am sure you already know...Not only is exercise good for your body, it is also good for your mind.  Exercise is a great way of reducing stress.  Just a short workout, a walk, a short run, anything you do that is physical will help clear your mind, reduce stress, and leave you feeling better.  Exercise reduces stress not only by taking your mind off of stressful situations, but also by releasing chemical factors in our bodies.  Physical exercise T R I G G E R S the release of endorphins, natural chemicals in our bodies that make us feel good.  It also can trigger the release of other hormones, such as cortisol which is one of our bodies natural defenses against stress.The actual amount of exercise in terms of TIME, would/does depend on the person. I always consider that from 15 to 30 minutes is a great goal to reach for.\n\nHere is a great URL that you could bring up and study:\n\nhttp://www.marysherbs.com/heal/heal-sts.htm

My control over my needs and what happens to be, to resolve it, has been very good... not being forced to accept medications and no hope from the medical model of mental health.\n\nCheck out this great way of recovery... its helped me get my mind and life back, and I am using it to help others.\n\nI would say, from my experience, its a mixture, for me, of some drugs, one to one support that you can get hold of at any time, even if its by text message on a mobile phone, then lots of rest over a good amount of time..., good eating, and not being pushed into situations that cause stress, alongside, less criticism. Understanding the process of how you first realise you have a feeling, right through to understanding it, and living it, then letting it leave you, learning this is usefull... I used a Gestalt model in therapy.\n\nWellness Recovery Action Planning but Mary-Ellen Copeland. (W.R.A.P.) Mental Health Recovery\n\nMary is from Vermont in USA.

Tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, thinking, dreaming, breathing, heart beating, moving, running, sleeping, laughing, singing, remembering, feeling pain or pleasure, painting, writing...you couldn't do any of these things without your central nervous system! \n\nWhat is the nervous system? \nMade up of your brain, your spinal cord, and an enormous network of nerves that thread throughout your body, it's the control center for your entire body. Your brain uses information it receives from your nerves to coordinate all of your actions and reactions. Without it, you couldn't exist! \n\nWhat are nerves? \nThey're the thin threads of nerve cells, called neurons that run throughout your body. Bundled together, they carry messages back and forth just the way that telephone wires do. Sensory nerves send messages to the brain and generally connect to the brain through the spinal cord inside your backbone. Motor nerves carry messages back from the brain to all the muscles and glands in your body. \n\nSo how do they they pass along messages? \nThrough the marvels of chemistry and a kind of electricity! Neurons are thin. Some are very small, and some can be three feet long! All are shaped somewhat like flat stars which have, to varying degrees, been pulled at each end so that they have long fingers. The fingers of one neuron almost reach to the next neuron. \n\nWhen a neuron is stimulated -- by heat, cold, touch, sound vibrations or some other message -- it begins to actually generate a tiny electrical pulse. This electricity and chemical change travels the full length of the neuron. But when it gets to the end of finger-like points at the end of the neuron, it needs help getting across to the next extended finger. That's where chemicals come in. The electrical pulse in the cells triggers the release of chemicals that carry the pulse to the next cell. And so on and so on and so on. \n\nSource(s):\n\nsearch engine: ask.com\nkey words: The Nervous System\n(This is pretty broad in nature, is there a specific question related to an answer you need that I can help you with?\nohhhhhh...nurse?????

It keeps your stomach full and lessens hunger.  Some people say it "flushes" away the fat but that makes no physiologic sense to me.  How can you flush away cells that are in your skin and tissues.  It also decreases how much OTHER beverages you drink (like cokes)\n\nHey David...this isn't free advertising space.

Well, they test for all kinds of things that you might be better off knowing.  For example, I just found out I had hypothyroidism, and that's been causing most of my health problems for a while now.  Now I can get on with fixing it, and feel much better.  They can also spot problems early on that could kill you if left alone-like cancer.  Preventative medicine is best.

here's how it works..\n\nhypnosis is the state of mind when you are not able to figure things logically..\nit's when someone alters your consciousness specially your waking consciousness..\n\nactually HYPNOSIS IS REAL..scientists nowadays use that method to make the patient feel no pain during the surgical procedures..\n\nand take note, it's as effective as the anesthesia..try to look for that in the internet..\n\nand the other application of it is that, an interrogating officer may hypnotize the suspect to let the suspect reveal what has truly happened since the subconscious state of mind conquers the waking state of mind..\n\nthat's why they consider the subconscious state of mind as the "SECOND BRAIN"..

as far as i know its used for DNA figerprinting in electophoresis (i didnt spell that right).  basically you use a gel like substance, put DNA fragments in it (mixed w. dye) and put this in a solution and hook the one end of the whole device to a negative battery side or something and the other end to a positive side and the DNA fragments will seperate and u can use it to match up DNA samples w. people etc.

The neurontin is only as good as how their body will adapt to it.  It also depends on of this person takes his/her medince is prescribed.   It's like any other Rx med, some work great for some people,  some don't.  What is your friend saying about this med, or is he/she going on it & want some advice?   It does work, but it has to be taken as Rx daily.  It can be effective, but like any drug will have side effects.  There are newer drugs out today, if this person has tried them all, then maybe Neurontin is the way to go, if not they can try Lexapro, or Wellbutrin.   I hope this helped some, but calls some local Psychiatrists in your area, they can be a BIG help......A social workin' girl:)
