The essential oils of 14 species and hybrids, respectively, of the genus Mentha were examined for their antioxidant capacity in the ABTS (2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) assay and in a lipid-peroxidation (LPO) assay. The ABTS(.+) -scavenging capacity of pure essential-oil components and mixtures of them was also tested. In both assays, Mentha×dumetorum (classification not fully confirmed), Mentha suaveolens, and Mentha×villosa (classification not fully confirmed) showed the highest antioxidant capacity, which was ascribed to the components germacrene D, piperitone oxide, and piperitenone oxide. The high antioxidant activity in the LPO assay of the two hybrids Mentha×gracilis and, to a lower degree, of Mentha×dalmatica (classification not fully confirmed) was ascribed to their high contents of cis-ocimene and β-caryophyllene. Of the pure components tested (germacrene D, piperitone oxide, and piperitenone oxide were not tested, as not commercially available), only cis-ocimene showed a distinct antioxidant effect, whereas dihydrocarvone and linalool had pro-oxidant effects in the ABTS assay.

Introduction: Psychotropic medication (PM) use in behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is higher than in other dementias. However, no information exists on whether PM use differs between sporadic and genetic bvFTD.
Methods: We analyzed data from sporadic and genetic bvFTD participants with PM prescriptions in the Advancing Research and Treatment in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration/Longitudinal Evaluation of Familial Frontotemporal Dementia Subjects study.

Aims: To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of artificial intelligence (AI) in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) analysis as compared to conventional (Manual) and semi-automated (SemiAuto) method in echocardiography (Echo).
Methods And Results: GLS validation was performed on 550 standard Echo exams by expert cardiologists. The performance of a beginner cardiologist without experience of GLS analysis was assessed on a subset of 90 exams.

An enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) is one of the most feared complications of damage control laparotomy. Its management is highly challenging, often requiring multiple surgeries and prolonged hospitalization. It is a serious condition, and despite significant improvements in mortality rates due to advancements in intensive care, the rate remains substantial.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on the motor imagery paradigm typically utilizes multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) to ensure accurate capture of physiological phenomena. However, excessive channels often contain redundant information and noise, which can significantly degrade BCI performance. Although there have been numerous studies on EEG channel selection, most of them require manual feature extraction, and the extracted features are difficult to fully represent the effective information of EEG signals.

Transformer neural networks based on multi-head self-attention are effective in several fields. To capture brain activity on electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and construct an effective pattern recognition model, this paper explores the multi-channel deep feature decoding method utilizing the self-attention mechanism. By integrating inter-channel features with intra-channel features, the self-attention mechanism generates a deep feature vector that encompasses information from all brain activities.
