Default Mode Network Detection using EEG in Real-time.

Mental health disorders affect countless people worldwide and present a major challenge for mental health services, which are struggling with the demand on a global scale. Recent studies have indicated that activity of the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) could prove insightful in monitoring patient recovery from depression and has been used as a therapeutic target itself. An opportunity exists to replicate recent therapeutic protocols targeting DMN connectivity via functional magnetic resonance imaging using the more economically scalable modality of electroencephalogram (EEG).

Patients' experiences in ultrasound-guided intravenous catheter insertion: A qualitative study.

Background: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is the most performed invasive procedure in healthcare. However, it often presents challenges in patients with non-visible or non-palpable veins, leading to unsuccessful cannulation attempts and associated complications. Ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion is a promising solution for patients with difficult venous access (DIVA).

α-Synuclein Deletion Impairs Platelet Function: A Role for SNARE Complex Assembly.

Granule secretion is an essential platelet function that contributes not only to haemostasis but also to wound healing, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Granule secretion from platelets is facilitated, at least in part, by Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor (NSF) Attachment Protein Receptor (SNARE) complex-mediated granule fusion. Although α-synuclein is a protein known to modulate the assembly of the SNARE complex in other cells, its role in platelet function remains poorly understood.
