Objective: During seizures, intracranial EEG electrodes can record ictal muscle movements. Our purpose was to differentiate the high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) of extracranial muscle contractions from those of intracranial epileptogenic discharges.
Methods: Using intracranial video-EEG (IVEEG), we recorded seizures in a 17-year-old boy with left mesial-temporal lobe epilepsy. We used multiple band frequency analysis (MBFA) to differentiate extracranial HFOs of craniofacial muscle activities from intracranial HFOs recorded ictally and interictally.
Results: During 11 seizures, IVEEG showed low-amplitude fast waves ( approximately 60Hz) starting at the left mesial-temporal electrodes. Ictal facial grimacing projected low-amplitude ( approximately 20muV) fast waves ( approximately 160Hz) on inferior lateral-temporal electrodes. Interictal chewing projected medium-amplitude ( approximately 100muV) fast waves ( approximately 140Hz) correlating to mouth movements. MBFA topographic power spectrograms revealed a sustained, consistent ictal fast-frequency band from electrodes in the seizure-onset zone and randomly scattered HFOs without a specific frequency band from ictal and interictal extracranial muscle contractions.
Conclusions: MBFA power spectrograms differentiated randomly scattered muscle HFOs without a specific frequency band at electrodes close to temporal muscles from ictal epileptic HFOs with a sustained, fast-frequency band in the seizure-onset zone.
Significance: The pattern and distribution of frequency power spectrograms of extracranial HFOs differ from those of intracranial HFOs.

Aim And Objective: It is well established that 4H-pyran derivatives hold a significant position in synthetic organic chemistry due to their diverse biological and pharmacological properties. This work aims to introduce a novel synthetic pathway for highly functionalized 4H-pyran derivatives, achieved through a 1,4-Michael addition followed by a cascade cyclization. This reaction is catalyzed by LiOH·H2O under ultrasonic irradiation in water, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly approach.

We introduce a new approach to the numerical simulation of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy images. The Lattice Multislice Algorithm takes advantage of the fact that the electron waves passing through the specimen have limited bandwidth and therefore can be approximated very well by a low-dimensional linear space spanned by translations of a well-localized function. Just like in the PRISM algorithm recently published by C.

Cell collectives, like other motile entities, generate and use forces to move forward. Here, we ask whether environmental configurations alter this proportional force-speed relationship, since aligned extracellular matrix fibers are known to cause directed migration. We show that aligned fibers serve as active conduits for spatial propagation of cellular mechanotransduction through matrix exoskeleton, leading to efficient directed collective cell migration.

Coastal areas undergo continuous transformations, altering their geometry under the influence of external forces like tides, waves, and extreme events. Thus, monitoring the impact of extreme weather events on coastal regions is crucial to prevent potential cascading hazards. Here, we utilized time-series optical and SAR satellite data and tide records, coupled with sophisticated analytical techniques, to analyze erosion processes, sediment transport, and vertical land movement (VLM) at an embayed sandy beach (i.

Background: Gastric dysmotility and gastric slow wave dysrhythmias have been well documented in patients with diabetes. However, little is known on the effect of hyperglycemia on small intestine motility, such as intestinal slow waves, due to limited options in measuring its activity. Moreover, food intake and digestion process have been reported to alter the small intestine motility in normal rats, but their roles in that of diabetic rats remains unknown.
