Rationale: Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is a condition characterized by biphasic convulsions and disturbance of consciousness. In Japan, the most common pediatric cases of acute encephalopathy are associated with infection. AESD usually occurs in early childhood, with the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance called "bright tree appearance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate whether routine palpation of PICC insertion sites in neonates was linked to a higher incidence of PICC-related phlebitis.
  • Data from infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit was analyzed, comparing those before and after the discontinuation of palpation, revealing a significant decrease in phlebitis cases post-palpation.
  • Findings indicated that mechanical stimulation from palpation likely contributed to increased phlebitis rates, leading to more frequent early PICC removals.

Aims: The current study aimed to validate the relationship between sensory characteristics and sleep dynamics among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using an actigraph, which is an objective assessment device used for sleep monitoring.

Methods: A total of 40 children (age range, 3-6 years) participated in this study (n = 20, with ASD and n = 20, age-matched children with typical development [TD]). We examined sleep dynamics using actigraph for 7 consecutive days, and the relationship between sleep parameters and sensory characteristics was analyzed using the Japanese Version of Sensory Profile (SP-J).

Background: Early myoclonic encephalopathy (EME) is an epileptic syndrome that develops in neonates, commonly within 1 month of birth. The condition is characterized by irregular, partial, and asynchronous myoclonus. The seizures in EME are generally refractory to antiepileptic drugs and no effective treatment for EME has been established.

Single-sideband (SSB) modulation through Hilbert transformation has successfully transmitted data using only half the bandwidth of the traditional scheme for the same amount of contained information. Toward this end, the four single-sideband (4-SSB) approach for high order modulation is a promising approach for the next-generation communications by applying soft-input soft-output (SISO) equalizer algorithms over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). However, OFDM is challenging for realizing the feasible 5G communications, compared to the emerging techniques, e.
