Purpose: To investigate the utility of a 15-minute online module to improve the self-confidence and knowledge of neurology trainees when screening an EEG.
Methods: We developed a fast, convenient, and accessible 15-minute online module to teach basic concepts of EEG screening using a five-step approach. To assess the efficacy of the module among neurology trainees, three surveys were developed.
Article Synopsis
- Depression affects over 280 million people worldwide, but many struggle with undiagnosed or untreated cases due to stigma and lack of awareness.
- Social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), can be utilized to monitor signs of depression, with a study analyzing 246,637 tweets from diagnosed users to identify themes related to their experiences before and after diagnosis.
- Machine learning techniques, like logistic regression and support vector machines, were employed to differentiate between tweets from depressed and non-depressed users, highlighting the potential of Twitter data in tracking depression and understanding symptom changes and coping strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Guava wilt is a serious soil-borne disease that significantly impacts guava orchards, making its management difficult once the disease is established.
- Aspergillus niger, a bio-control fungus, shows promise against guava wilt pathogens and produces beneficial enzymes and metabolites, though its metabolites have not been thoroughly studied.
- In this study, 11 strains of A. niger were tested against guava wilt pathogens, with strain AN-11 showing the highest inhibition of 86.33%, and further analysis identified multiple metabolites that could help combat the disease.
Stress and anxiety may be found in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), oral leukoplakia (OL) and oral lichen planus (OLP). Cortisol, sometimes referred to as the "stress hormone," has been employed as a stress predictor. Therefore, it is of interest to estimate the levels of depression, anxiety and serum cortisol and establish correlation between them in patients with OL.
