Performance Improvement with Reduced Number of Channels in Motor Imagery BCI System.

Classifying Motor Imaging (MI) Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is of vital importance for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems, but challenges remain. A key challenge is to reduce the number of channels to improve flexibility, portability, and computational efficiency, especially in multi-class scenarios where more channels are needed for accurate classification. This study demonstrates that combining Electrooculogram (EOG) channels with a reduced set of EEG channels is more effective than relying on a large number of EEG channels alone.

Correlation of hyperglycemia and balthazar classification in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Objective: High levels of glucose during acute pancreatitis (AP) progression influence disease progression by promoting the release of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of both the blood glucose level in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) and the presence of DM on the severity and course of AP in patients presenting with clinical AP.

Methods: The study included 343 patients who were hospitalized at Van Training and Research Hospital, Turkey and followed up with the diagnosis of AP between 2014 and 2018.

Amoxicillin, gemifloxacin and rabeprazole, as first-line Helicobacter pylori therapy in clinical practice: A pilot study.

Success in eradication of H. pylori is decreasing due to increasing resistant strains. In particular, side-effects due to 4-agent treatment multiple drug use are observed and treatment compliance decreases.

Course of Acute Pancreatitis Patients with Renal Failure According to Balthazar Classification.

Background And Aim: There are criteria that include many organ systems to predict the prognosis in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. In this study, we aimed to show how the course of the disease changes according to the Balthazar classification in AP patients presenting with renal failure.

Methods And Materials: Our study included 352 patients who were admitted to the Emergency Service of our hospital and were diagnosed and hospitalized with AP.
