The study reported herein proposes a new method for the diagnosis of epilepsy from electroencephalography (EEG) signals based on complex classifiers. To carry out this study, first the features of EEG data are extracted using a dual-tree complex wavelet transformation at different levels of granularity to obtain size reduction. In subsequent phases, five features (based on statistical measurements maximum value, minimum value, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median value) are obtained by using the feature vectors, and are presented as the input dimension to the complex-valued neural networks. The evaluation of the proposed method is conducted using the k-fold cross-validation methodology, reporting on classification accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The proposed method is tested using a benchmark EEG dataset, and high accuracy rates were obtained. The stated results show that the proposed method can be used to design an accurate classification system for epilepsy diagnosis.

Cultural differences in diagnosis and treatment perceptions: Turkish collectivistic representations of common mental disorders.

Purpose: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is less diagnosed among Turkish children, and Turkish clients drop out more often from depression treatments than Dutch clients. This article proposes that cultural differences in collectivistic versus individualistic perceptions of getting an ADHD diagnosis and being treated for depression might explain these ethnic disparities, which have been explored in this study.
Methods: Nine focus group discussions with Turkish individuals and 18 interviews with primary mental health practitioners were conducted.

The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel plays a critical role in the electrical activity of the heart, and its blockers can cause serious cardiotoxic effects. Thus, screening for hERG channel blockers is a crucial step in the drug development process. Many in silico models have been developed to predict hERG blockers, which can efficiently save time and resources.

Background: Achieving sustainability in continuing medical education (CME) involves regular assessment of the evolving needs of healthcare professionals regarding their competencies and updates in educational content accordingly. This study aimed to investigate the key areas and competencies that physicians in Serbia prioritize for their professional development and to analyze the factors associated with these competencies.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,625 physicians who are members of the medical chamber in Serbia.

Background: Rare diseases (RDs) are a heterogeneous group of complex and low-prevalence conditions in which the time to establish a definitive diagnosis is often too long. In addition, for most RDs, few to no treatments are available and it is often difficult to find a specialized care team.
Objectives: The project "acERca las enfermedades raras" (in English: "bringing RDs closer") is an initiative primary designed to generate a consensus by a multidisciplinary group of experts to detect the strengths and weaknesses in the public healthcare system concerning the comprehensive care of persons living with a RD (PLWRD) in the region of Catalonia, Spain, where a Network of Clinical Expert Units (Xarxa d'Unitats de Expertesa Clínica or XUEC) was created and is being implemented since 2015.

The current DSM-oriented diagnostic paradigm has introduced the issue of heterogeneity, as it fails to account for the identification of the neurological processes underlying mental illnesses, which affects the precision of treatment. The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework serves as a recognized approach to addressing this heterogeneity, and several assessment and translation techniques have been proposed. Among these methods, transforming RDoC scores from electronic medical records (EMR) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as a suitable technique, demonstrating clinical effectiveness.
