Objective: D-wave can safely monitor the corticospinal-tract (CST)-function regarding gross-motor outcome of lower extremities, but it is still unknown whether i)D-wave can also safely monitor the gross-motor outcome of distal upper extremities in those patients undergoing high-cervical intramedullary-spinal-cord-tumor (IMSCT)-resection (enabling epidural D-wave-placement below C5) and ii)multimodal IONM can also predict fine-motor/complex hand function.
Methods: We prospectively assessed 20 patients undergoing IMSCT-surgery above the C4/5-level with multimodal IONM (D-wave/mMEPs/EMG/SSEPs). Detailed gross-/fine-motor and complex hand function was assessed pre- and postoperatively and during long-term follow-up (mean:29.

Diverse cases regarding the impact, with its related factors, of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health have been reported in previous studies. In this study, multivariable datasets were collected from 751 college students who could be easily affected by pandemics based on the complex relationships between various mental health factors. We utilized quantum annealing (QA)-based feature selection algorithms that were executed by commercial D-Wave quantum computers to determine the changes in the relative importance of the associated factors before and after the pandemic.

Intramedullary tumors are a class of central nervous system tumors with an incidence of 2 to 4%. As they are located very deep and frequently cause postoperative neurological complications, surgical resection is difficult. In recent years, many surgeons have performed electrophysiological monitoring to effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative neurological complications.

Transport network design problem (TNDP) is a well-studied problem for planning and operations of transportation systems. They are widely used to determine links for capacity enhancement, link closures to schedule maintenance, identify new road or transit links and more generally network enhancements under resource constraints. As changes in network capacities result in a redistribution of demand on the network, resulting in changes in the congestion patterns, TNDP is generally modelled as a bi-level problem, which is known to be NP-hard.

The dystroglycanopathy phenotype includes a spectrum of severity ranging from severe congenital muscular dystrophy to adult-onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). LGMDR9 is a dystroglycanopathy caused by mutations in the FKRP gene.
