Objective: We have developed a novel method for estimating brain tissue electrical conductivity using low-intensity pulse stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) stimulation coupled with biophysical modeling. We evaluated the hypothesis that brain conductivity is correlated with the degree of epileptogenicity in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
Methods: We used bipolar low-intensity biphasic pulse stimulation (.
The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the need for reliable information for clinical decision-making and public health policies. As such, evidence-based medicine (EBM) is essential in identifying and evaluating scientific documents pertinent to novel diseases, and the accurate classification of biomedical text is integral to this process. Given this context, we introduce a comprehensive, curated dataset composed of COVID-19-related documents.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a skin disease with complicated causes, and serum amyloid A (SAA) might serve as a biomarker, but its role has not been thoroughly investigated.
- A study involving 67 CSU patients found that higher SAA-1 levels are linked to greater disease activity (measured by Urticaria Activity Score, UAS7) and poorer control of symptoms.
- The findings suggest that SAA-1 could be a useful marker for monitoring CSU severity, but more research is needed to assess its effectiveness in tracking other treatment outcomes.
