Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP): A Window Into the Brain’s Visual Pathways

Visual perception is one of the most complex functions of the human brain. Every moment, millions of electrical signals travel from the eyes through the optic nerves to different regions of the brain, enabling us to recognise faces, read text, detect motion, and understand our environment. When this electrical “highway” experiences a disruption—due to disease, inflammation, compression, or injury—the effects can be profound. Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is one of the most reliable and non-invasive tests used to measure the functional integrity of the visual pathway. Unlike imaging modalities such as CT or MRI that show structural abnormalities, VEP evaluates...

EtCO₂ Monitoring: Making Sleep Apnea Screening Accessible and Affordable 29 Sep

EtCO₂ Monitoring: Making Sleep Apnea Screening Accessible and Affordable

Sleep apnea is a condition that has long gone underdiagnosed. Millions of people struggle with disrupted sleep, chronic fatigue, and serious health risks, yet the underlying cause often remains hidden. Traditionally, diagnosing sleep apnea requires overnight polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep laboratory—a process that is expensive, time-consuming, and inconvenient for patients. But a shift is happening in respiratory diagnostics. EtCO₂ (End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide) monitoring, once reserved for anaesthesia and critical care, is now emerging as a practical and non-invasive screening tool for conditions like sleep apnea. With modern portable monitors integrating EtCO₂ sensors, early detection of breathing irregularities is becoming...

Essential but Ignored: The Underutilized EMG Tests That Hold the Key to Accurate Diagnosis 27 Aug

Essential but Ignored: The Underutilized EMG Tests That Hold the Key to Accurate Diagnosis

Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are indispensable tools in modern neurodiagnostics. They help clinicians evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and the integrity of peripheral nerves, playing a central role in diagnosing neuropathies, myopathies, and neuromuscular junction disorders. Yet, despite the sophistication of modern EMG devices, clinical practice often focuses narrowly on basic motor and sensory conduction studies and routine needle EMG. This leaves out several advanced tests that an EMG device can perform—tests that are crucial for early detection, accurate differential diagnosis, and improved patient outcomes. Neglecting these tests can lead to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or unnecessary...

EECP Therapy: Research Driven Innovation in Cardiovascular Care 31 Jul

EECP Therapy: Research Driven Innovation in Cardiovascular Care

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 18 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. In this context, alternative and non-invasive therapies such as Enhanced External Counter-pulsation (EECP) have emerged as promising tools to improve patient outcomes—particularly for those with chronic angina, heart failure, and poor peripheral circulation. While EECP has been approved in several countries, including the United States, its adoption is still growing globally. This blog aims to explore EECP from multiple dimensions: its clinical science, global research footprint, credibility in evidence-based medicine, and its potential to bring large-scale benefits...

Understanding ECG for Patients with a Pacemaker: Importance, Challenges, and Technological Advancements 16 Jun

Understanding ECG for Patients with a Pacemaker: Importance, Challenges, and Technological Advancements

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is a cornerstone in modern cardiology, providing critical insights into the electrical activity of the heart. However, for patients who have a pacemaker implanted, interpreting ECG results becomes more complex. The presence of a pacemaker introduces unique challenges to ECG readings, making it essential to use advanced ECG machines that can detect and differentiate pacemaker signals from intrinsic cardiac activity. With growing cardiovascular risks and an aging population, the need for accurate ECGs in pacemaker patients has never been more vital. Companies like Clarity Medical are leading the charge in addressing this need with sophisticated, intelligent...
