We developed a freeware for the analysis of neuromagnetic epileptic discharges and named it "hns_meg." It works as an executable standalone application, compatible with 32/64 bit Microsoft Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.6. The program is designed for recordings from planar gradiometers and includes the following functions: listing of topographies of maximum gradient magnetic field ((partial differential)B) every 1 s throughout the measured time, two or three-dimensional topographical representations of (partial differential)B, and time-frequency representations based on a maximum entropy method. Coupling the first function with an appropriate frequency filter is useful in efficiently finding spikes. The last two functions are attractive for users who want to try new analytical methods different from those in commercially available software packages.

The main aim of this study is to achieve the numerical solution for the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible, non-turbulent, and subsonic fluid flows with some Gaussian physical uncertainties. The higher-order stochastic finite volume method (SFVM), implemented according to the iterative generalized stochastic perturbation technique and the Monte Carlo scheme, are engaged for this purpose. It is implemented with the aid of the polynomial bases for the pressure-velocity-temperature (PVT) solutions, for which the weighted least squares method (WLSM) algorithm is applicable.

Patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (ADMCI) typically show abnormally high delta (<4 Hz) and low alpha (8-12 Hz) rhythms measured from resting-state eyes-closed electroencephalographic (rsEEG) activity. Here, we hypothesized that the abnormalities in rsEEG activity may be greater in ADMCI patients than in those with MCI not due to AD (noADMCI). Furthermore, they may be associated with the diagnostic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-tau biomarkers in ADMCI patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates complications like skin dehiscence after cranial neurosurgery, which can lead to serious infections.
- It involves a retrospective analysis of 24 patients who required both neurosurgery and plastic surgery for skin reconstruction from 2017 to 2023, measuring defect sizes using ImageJ software.
- Results showed a 33.3% complication rate post-surgery, with a successful permanent wound closure achieved for all cases following the established treatment protocol.
A Comparison of Skeletal Muscle Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography Seeding Methods.

The internal arrangement of a muscle's fibers with respect to its mechanical line of action (muscle architecture) is a major determinant of muscle function. Muscle architecture can be quantified using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging-based tractography, which propagates streamlines from a set of seed points by integrating vectors that represent the direction of greatest water diffusion (and by inference, the local fiber orientation). Previous work has demonstrated that tractography outcomes are sensitive to the method for defining seed points, but this sensitivity has not been fully examined.

Spheroid culture is a 3D model that provides an improved replication of the in vivo microenvironment compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures. Invasion is a cellular outcome of utmost interest in cancer biology. In this protocol, we have devised an alternative strategy for evaluating cancer cell invasion in vitro, employing heterospheroids comprised of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), and monocytes.
