Resting-state electroencephalography (rsEEG) has developed as a method to explore functional network alterations related to sport-related concussion (SRC). Although exercise is an integral part of an athlete's return to sport (RTS) protocol, our understanding of the effects of exercise on (impaired) brain network activity in elite adult athletes is limited. However, this information may be beneficial to inform recovery and RTS progressions.

- In patients with epilepsy, autonomic nervous system dysfunction is marked by heightened sympathetic activity, influenced by changes in the central autonomic network.
- A study involved 21 patients with epilepsy (16 seizure-free) and 21 healthy controls, who underwent an intense bicycle ergometer test while monitoring brain activity and heart rate variability.
- Findings showed that while both groups exhibited expected autonomic responses post-exercise, the correlation between central and peripheral autonomic activities differed in epilepsy patients, suggesting a unique sympathetic response that warrants further investigation regarding its clinical significance.
Background: Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) can lead to limb loss and mortality. To improve patient care at a safety-net teaching hospital, we created a multidisciplinary limb salvage service (LSS).
Methods: We recruited a cohort prospectively and compared it to a historical control group.
Learning to play golf has high demands on attention and therefore may counteract age-related changes of functional brain networks. This cross-sectional study compared source connectivity in the Default Mode Network (DMN) between elderly golf novices and non-golfers. Four-minute resting-state electroencephalography (128 channels) from 22 elderly people (mean age 67 ± 4.
