Data-driven approach for the delineation of the irritative zone in epilepsy in MEG.

The reliable identification of the irritative zone (IZ) is a prerequisite for the correct clinical evaluation of medically refractory patients affected by epilepsy. Given the complexity of MEG data, visual analysis of epileptiform neurophysiological activity is highly time consuming and might leave clinically relevant information undetected. We recorded and analyzed the interictal activity from seven patients affected by epilepsy (Vectorview Neuromag), who successfully underwent epilepsy surgery (Engel > = II).

Composite polarization systems for independent controlling polarization of two beams with different wavelengths.

The usage of independent and simultaneous control of the state of light polarization at different wavelengths can expand the capabilities of polarization methods for biomedical application. Unfortunately, all known methods of polarization conversion cannot convert the state of light polarization at different wavelengths independently. We propose a method and device for independent and simultaneous control of the polarization state at two wavelengths.

Dataset of spiking and LFP activity invasively recorded in the human amygdala during aversive dynamic stimuli.

We present an electrophysiological dataset collected from the amygdalae of nine participants attending a visual dynamic stimulation of emotional aversive content. The participants were patients affected by epilepsy who underwent preoperative invasive monitoring in the mesial temporal lobe. Participants were presented with dynamic visual sequences of fearful faces (aversive condition), interleaved with sequences of neutral landscapes (neutral condition).

[The problems and perspectives of schoolchildren's health promotion at the municipal level].

The paper gives the results of studies aimed at evaluating the efficiency of the interdepartmental interaction system in schoolchildren's health promotion at the municipal level and at substantiating the recommendations for its optimization in case of the Leninsky District (Yekaterinburg). A package of measures, such as to develop the network of health-promotion schools, to assist in introducing effective health-saving technologies, to upgrade the personnel's competence in health culture, and to develop monitoring systems is proposed.
