Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted in Danish prisons to evaluate an initial on-site drug screening method and understand drug trends among inmates over two years.
  • The analysis involved urine samples from 710 inmates, testing for 123 substances using both on-site immunoassays and confirmatory lab methods, revealing high sensitivity and specificity in the screening process.
  • While the immunoassay was effective, it missed several significant drugs, leading to plans for a more comprehensive testing approach to reduce false negatives in detecting drug use.

Objective: The apparent randomness of seizure occurrence affects greatly the quality of life of persons with epilepsy. Since seizures are often phase-locked to multidien cycles of interictal epileptiform activity, a recent forecasting scheme, exploiting RNS data, is capable of forecasting seizures days in advance.

Methods: We tested the use of a bandpass filter to capture the universal mid-term dynamics enabling both patient-specific and cross-patient forecasting.
