Purpose: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is increasingly used in the management of neonates with seizures. There remains debate on what clinically relevant information can be gained from cEEG in neonates with suspected seizures, at high risk for seizures, or with definite seizures, as well as the use of cEEG for prognosis in a variety of conditions. In this guideline, we address these questions using American Clinical Neurophysiology Society structured methodology for clinical guideline development.

NiV glycoprotein G (NiV-G) emerges as a promising target for the discovery of NiV drugs because of its essential role in viral entry and membrane fusion. Therefore, in this study, we applied an integrated computational and biophysics approach to identify potential inhibitors of NiV-G within a curated dataset of Peruvian phytochemicals.

However, little is known of the comparative effect of GLP-1 RAs and their glycemic impact across the different routes of administration, diabetic statuses and durations of prescription. PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL were searched from inception to 13 February 2024.

The dietary assessment method and food price collection approach have been found to vary diet cost estimates. There is a need to better understand how food supply prices might be better standardized and attached to price individuals' diets.

Despite the clinical burden of disease, very little is known about the inter- and intra-seasonal genomic variability of RSV. Furthermore, the recent approval of vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies will likely lead to higher selective pressure on RSV.
