Article Synopsis
  • There is a strong link between Alzheimer's disease (AD), sleep disorders, and the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), with sleep pattern disruptions often occurring before cognitive decline.
  • This study explores the use of sleep-related EEG signals from polysomnography (PSG) to detect AD early, focusing on semi-supervised Deep Learning models due to the challenge of having limited labeled data.
  • Results indicate that a specific semi-supervised model outperformed unsupervised approaches and achieved high accuracy (90-94%) in classifying EEG signals, emphasizing the importance of spatio-temporal feature extraction in early AD detection.

Vestibulodynia is a gynecological condition with different treatment options available, including botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) injections into the vulvar vestibule. Unlike other treatments, no studies have assessed changes in the myoelectrical activity of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) after BoNT/A treatment. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate these changes and to correlate them with changes in vulvar pain sensitivity.
