Background: Drooling, defined as the unintentional loss of saliva from the anterior oral cavity, remains poorly understood in terms of the underlying clinical factors in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP). This study aims to clarify these factors by analyzing predictors and secondarily the correlates with the severity of drooling in PwP.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 42 PwP with drooling and 59 without drooling.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between unintentional weight loss and 30-day mortality in sepsis patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). A retrospective cohort study sepsis patients in the ICU was conducted using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, involving 1842 sepsis patients in the ICU. We utilized multivariate Cox regression analysis to evaluate the association between unintentional weight loss and the risk of 30-day mortality.

Accurate estimation of low frequency modes in power system are very much important for improving small signal stability. The parametric model parameters estimator known as Total least square estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (TLS-ESPRIT) works effectively even in noisy conditions. However, this model parameter estimator requires prior information about numbers of modes of the signal.

Introduction: Neuromodulation through deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has become a successful therapy for various neurological disorders, such as movement disorders and chronic pain. Implantable pulse generators (IPGs) are pivotal in these therapies, available as either rechargeable (r-IPGs) or non-rechargeable (nr-IPGs).
Research Question: To perform a meta-analysis on r-IPGs.
