Signal quality evaluation of an in-ear EEG device in comparison to a conventional cap system.

Front Neurosci

September 2024

Laboratoire d'Imagerie Biomédicale (LIB), Inserm U1146, Sorbonne Université, CNRS UMR7371, 15 rue de l'Ecole de Médecine, Paris, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Wearable in-ear EEG devices have the potential to revolutionize brain monitoring in everyday settings, but need validation against established scalp EEG technology.
  • This study compared a new in-ear EEG device with a traditional EEG system in 30 healthy volunteers during both resting and nap conditions, using various analyses to assess signal quality.
  • Results showed that while the in-ear device performed similarly to the scalp EEG during rest, it experienced signal disruptions during naps due to head and facial movements, yet both showed comparable alpha wave patterns.

Effect of 5:2 intermittent fasting diet versus daily calorie restriction eating on metabolic-associated fatty liver disease-a randomized controlled trial.

Front Nutr

August 2024

Department of Anesthesiology, Hangzhou Women's Hospital (Hangzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Hangzhou First People's Hospital Qianjiang New City Campus, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University), Hangzhou, China.

Objective: Both 5:2 IF diet (intermittent fasting) and daily caloric restriction eating had been suggested for management of MAFLD (Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease), this study aimed to evaluate the effects of 5:2 IF diet on body weight and metabolic parameters in adults with MAFLD, in comparison to daily caloric restriction eating.

Methods: This single-center, double-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial included 60 patients with MAFLD, who were administered either a 5:2 IF diet limited calories consumed for 2 days each week with no restrictions on the remaining 5 (Group 5:2 IF diet) or a daily calorie restriction eating (Group daily calorie restriction). Fibrotouch-B instrument assessment, ultrasound assessment of hepatic steatosis, anthropometric indices and body composition analysis, blood sample measurements were conducted during two distinct visits: initially on the day of study commencement (T1), and subsequently at the conclusion of the 12-week intervention period (T2).

Rational: Patients with gastric cancer show a relatively low incidence of developing secondary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Patient Concerns: A 60-year-old man was admitted because of pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen and intermittent abdominal pain.

Diagnoses: Ulcerative moderately poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (pT2N2M0G3, stage IIB) and MDS.

Impact of intermittent versus continuous infusions on central line-associated bloodstream infection risk in haemato-oncology patients: a quasi-experimental study.

J Hosp Infect

September 2024

Infection Control Program and WHO Collaborating Centre, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland; Infection Antimicrobials Modeling Evolution (IAME) U 1137, INSERM, Université Paris-Cité, Paris, France. Electronic address:

Background: Continuous fluid infusions delivered between therapies by piggy-back systems avoid disconnection and reconnection of central venous catheters (CVCs), thereby reducing opportunities for line contamination. However, the impact of continuous versus intermittent infusions on central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) is unknown.

Aim: To investigate the effect of temporary infusion interruption and line disconnection, with or without use of a 70% isopropyl alcohol cap (IPA-C) on CLABSI rates in haematology patients.

Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is an uncommon yet serious complication. Although severe perforations (Ellis III) have become more frequent, the overall mortality rate associated with perforations (7.5%) has decreased in recent years.
