Relationship between scalp high-frequency oscillations and time since the last seizure in epilepsy.

Objective: The accuracy of self-reported seizure-freedom duration are essentially limited. Scalp high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) are more tightly linked to seizures than spikes alone and are a promising new biomarker. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between scalp HFO and time since the last reported seizure.

Sex Differences in the Relationship Between Nutrient Intake and Mortality Results of the Shika Cohort Study.

: Macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrate) provide sources of energy and play crucial roles in various physiological functions. However, sex differences in the relationships between protein, fat, and carbohydrate intakes and all-cause mortality remain unclear. The present study investigated sex differences in the relationships between protein, fat, and carbohydrate intakes and all-cause mortality using longitudinal epidemiological data.

Psychological support by full-time school counselors from the City of Nagoya after the 2024 Noto Earthquake: An activity report.

The City of Nagoya employs full-time school counselors in its schools. This activity report highlights the role of them in offering psychological support after the disaster.

Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) with high-frequency oscillations on scalp EEG: A case report.

Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a rare mitochondrial disease with a prevalence of 16-18 per 100,000 persons. Most patients with MELAS develop epilepsy and require effective control of recurrent attacks. High-frequency oscillations (HFOs) on scalp EEG are transient bursts of EEG activity with frequencies beyond 80 Hz and are a promising biomarker for seizure control in epilepsy.

New Surgical Approach and Rehabilitation After Cemented Total Ankle Arthroplasty.

Background: According to the conventional postoperative procedure after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mobilization and weight-bearing are currently started after completion of wound healing. Recently, an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA with a modified anterolateral approach has been attempted because this approach could provide stable wound healing. To investigate the possibility of expediting rehabilitation, this study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and universality of an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA using a modified anterolateral approach, even when a surgeon was completely changed.
