Can Physicians Delay Appendectomy for One Night in Children With Acute Appendicitis?

Background: In pediatrics, appendicitis is the leading cause of emergency surgery. It was previously believed that postponing the surgery could lead to the appendix rupture. Children with this condition can be difficult to diagnose.

Are all helicopter dispatches really necessary? a cross-sectional study.

Background: Pre-hospital emergency care is a critical part of the health care system. Helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) is a novel part of the medical services of the health care delivery system. The goal of these medical services is to provide appropriate treatments at the right place and time.

Excitatory deep brain stimulation quenches beta oscillations arising in a computational model of the subthalamo-pallidal loop.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with abnormal [Formula: see text] band oscillations (13-30 Hz) in the cortico-basal ganglia circuits. Abnormally increased striato-pallidal inhibition and strengthening the synaptic coupling between subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus externa (GPe), due to the loss of dopamine, are considered as the potential sources of [Formula: see text] oscillations in the basal ganglia. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the basal ganglia subregions is known as a way to reduce the pathological [Formula: see text] oscillations and motor deficits related to PD.
