Entropy, as a measure of randomness in time-varying signals, is widely used in areas such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and information theory. This paper investigates the use of two commonly employed entropy measures, namely Wavelet Entropy and Approximate Entropy, as a predictor of tremor reappearance in Essential Tremor patients; the predictor input is a raw surface-electromyographic (sEMG) signal measured from tremor affected muscles of patients implanted with a Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS). A combination of both types of entropy measure is shown to successfully predict the occurrence of tremor few seconds before its visual manifestation. This result can potentially lead to a novel sEMG-based adaptive on-off DBS controller that can be added on to existing open-loop DBS systems with minimal changes; an adaptive DBS system provides stimulation only when needed thereby reducing the risk of brain over stimulation, delaying DBS intolerance and prolonging DBS battery life.

Objective: Genetic dystonia is a complex movement disorder with diverse clinical manifestations resulting from pathogenic mutations in associated genes. A recent paradigm shift emphasizes the functional convergence among dystonia genes, hinting at a shared pathomechanism. However, the neural dynamics supporting this convergence remain largely unexplored.

Despite the wealth of single-cell multi-omics data, it remains challenging to predict the consequences of novel genetic and chemical perturbations in the human body. It requires knowledge of molecular interactions at all biological levels, encompassing disease models and humans. Current machine learning methods primarily establish statistical correlations between genotypes and phenotypes but struggle to identify physiologically significant causal factors, limiting their predictive power.

Background: Obesity is associated with varying degrees of metabolic dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to discover markers of the severity of metabolic impairment in men with obesity via a multiomics approach.
Methods: Thirty-two morbidly men with obesity who were candidates for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery were prospectively followed.

Purpose: Myocardial injury, indicated by an elevation of high-sensitive cardiac Troponin (hs-cTnT), is a frequent stroke-related complication. Most studies investigated patients with ischemic stroke, but only little is known about its occurrence in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to assess the frequency, predictors, and implications of myocardial injury in ICH patients.
