Speech decoding from a small set of spatially segregated minimally invasive intracranial EEG electrodes with a compact and interpretable neural network.

. Speech decoding, one of the most intriguing brain-computer interface applications, opens up plentiful opportunities from rehabilitation of patients to direct and seamless communication between human species. Typical solutions rely on invasive recordings with a large number of distributed electrodes implanted through craniotomy.

[Unresolved issues in the prevention of bronchopulmonary complications in a cardiac surgery patient from the standpoint of a rehabilitation therapist].

Bronchopulmonary complications are one of the leading causes of morbidity after cardiac surgery; they lengthen a patient's hospital stay and increase the cost of treatment. The most common postoperative bronchopulmonary complications include pneumonia, atelectasis, respiratory failure, pneumothorax, and bronchospasm. These complications are the consequences of anesthesia and surgical trauma aggravated by the presence of risk factors in the patient in the preoperative period such as any chronic disease involving the lungs, smoking history, persistent cough and / or wheezing, chest and spinal deformities, obesity, senior age.

[Prevalence and intensity of smoking among the patients with ischemic heart disease of older age living in the Far North.].

The article presents an analysis of the prevalence, intensity and correlation of smoking with other risk factors of ischemic heart disease among patients with chronic ischemic heart disease aged 60 years and older living in the Far North on the basis of ethnicity, age and sex. Smoking dependence on age was traced in patients of non-indigenous ethnicity. There was a lower prevalence of smoking among women, as opposed to men and among long-livers in comparison with the elderly and senile age.

[Features of ictal and interictal electrical activity in assessment of the epileptogenic zone in children with focal cortical dysplasias].

Unlabelled: Currently, there is no single standard defining what rhythmic activity should be considered as the area of ictal pattern onset. Differences in electroencephalographic patterns associated with different types of focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) have not been defined. Aim - we aimed to identify features of the ictal onset pattern on a scalp EEG, depending on the histology, location, and extension of epileptogenic zone, as well as to elucidate the relationship between concordance of the interictal and ictal activity localization and ictal onset pattern types.

[The comparative analysis of the influence of the supervised exercise training and home-based exercise training on the psychological status of the following coronary artery bypass grafting].

Unlabelled: This article was designed to report the results of the comparative analysis of the influence of the home-based exercise training (HBT) and the supervised exercise training in the form of the controlled training (CVT) under conditions of outpatient rehabilitative treatment on the patients' quality of life (QoL) and psychological status (including manifestations of anxiety and depression) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Aim: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the consequences of the application of different programs of physical rehabilitation under the outpatient conditions on the psychoemotional status and quality of life of the patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting.

Materials And Methods: A total of 114 male patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) who had undergone CABG were available for the examination.
