Objective: The description and evaluation of algorithms using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for automatic removal of ECG, pulsation and respiration artifacts in neonatal EEG before automated seizure detection.
Methods: The developed algorithms decompose the EEG using ICA into its underlying sources. The artifact source was identified using the simultaneously recorded polygraphy signals after preprocessing. The EEG was reconstructed without the corrupting source, leading to a clean EEG. The impact of the artifact removal was measured by comparing the performance of a previously developed seizure detector before and after the artifact removal in 13 selected patients (9 having artifact-contaminated and 4 having artifact-free EEGs).
Results: A significant decrease in false alarms (p=0.01) was found while the Good Detection Rate (GDR) for seizures was not altered (p=0.50).
Conclusions: The techniques reduced the number of false positive detections without lowering sensitivity and are beneficial in long term EEG seizure monitoring in the presence of disturbing biological artifacts.
Significance: The proposed algorithms improve neonatal seizure monitoring.

To evaluate the feasibility of liver tract embolization after transhepatic biliary drainage using a biodegradable polymer plug (IMPEDE-FX, Shape Memorial Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA).In a retrospective observational study, 15 plug embolizations were performed in 13 patients at risk for tract-related adverse events (AEs). Risk factors included coagulopathy, cirrhosis, central bile duct puncture, previous drain-related bleeding, malignant obstruction, large tract diameter, or multilevel strictures.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, blood-filled neoplasms causing bone destruction, often requiring resection. However, challenges arise, especially at the cranio-cervical junction, where proximity to critical structures limits removal. Non-surgical options include selective arterial embolization (SAE) as main treatment, while Denosumab and centrifugated bone marrow emerge as experimental alternatives.

Histological techniques to study muscle are crucial for assessing skeletal muscle health. To preserve tissue morphology, samples are usually fixed in formaldehyde or cryopreserved immediately after excision from the body. Freezing samples in liquid nitrogen, using isopentane as a mediator for efficient cooling, preserves the tissue in its natural state.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are important bioelectrical signals widely used in brain activity studies, cognitive mechanism research, and the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. However, EEG signals are often influenced by various physiological artifacts, which can significantly affect data analysis and diagnosis. Recently, deep learning-based EEG denoising methods have exhibited unique advantages over traditional methods.

Surface electromyography (sEMG), a non-invasive technique, offers the ability to identify insights into the activities of muscles in the form of electrical pulses. During the process of recording, the sEMG signals frequently become contaminated by a multitude of different artifacts, the origin of which may be attributed to numerous sources. These artifacts affect the reliability and accuracy of the pure sEMG activity, and subsequently reduce the quality of analysis and interpretation.
