Background And Objectives: The use of rapid response EEG (rr-EEG) has recently expanded in limited-resource settings and as a supplement to conventional EEG to rapidly detect and treat nonconvulsive status epilepticus. The study objective was to test the accuracy of an rr-EEG's automated seizure burden estimator (ASBE).
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study using multiple blinded reviewers.
Article Synopsis
- The DASH and QuickDASH questionnaires are commonly used tools to assess upper-extremity disabilities but lacked rigorous validation for patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) for advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).
- In a study involving 450 patients, researchers evaluated these questionnaires alongside other measures like the ASES score to determine their effectiveness over time, looking at criteria such as validity, reliability, and patient responsiveness.
- Results showed strong correlations between the DASH/QuickDASH and other assessment scores, confirming their reliability and consistency as valid measures for evaluating outcomes in patients after aTSA procedure.
Article Synopsis
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint disorder that leads to cartilage degeneration, which may also have similarities with peripheral vascular disease (PVD), including shared inflammation and other factors.
- A study compared 35 knees with OA to 58 control knees, focusing on arterial flow and vascular stiffness using ultrasound, measuring various parameters like flow volume and vessel thickness.
- Results showed higher arterial flow, stiffness, and wall thickness in OA patients, indicating a potential link between early vascular issues and OA, paving the way for future research on their relationship.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the Yucatan minipig as a possible model for human wrist carpal instability research by investigating its forelimb biomechanics under different conditions.
- Researchers measured the range of motion (ROM) in various directions using a robotic simulator after testing the forelimb in three scenarios: intact and after cutting two specific ligaments.
- Findings showed that while some changes in movement were noted after ligament transection, overall, the biomechanics of the YP forelimb had less ROM in certain directions compared to humans, particularly in extension and deviation.
, a genetically close relative of the model green alga , shows significant potential as a host for recombinant protein expression. Because of the close genetic relationship between and , this species offers an additional reference point for advancing our understanding of photosynthetic organisms, and also provides a potential new candidate for biotechnological applications. This study investigates C.
