Objectives: The aim of this study was the evaluation of a group of patients treated at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Locomotory Apparatus at Luis Pasteur University Hospital in Košice for septic arthritis in relation to risk factors and chronic diseases and its microbial aetiologic profile.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients including all episodes of septic arthritis from March 2013 to August 2022. The occurrence of chronic diseases, risk factors and its microbiological profile were investigated.

Objective: To investigate the structural damage in patients with aphasia in the acute phase of ischemic stroke using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain.
Material And Methods: We examined 65 right-handed individuals in the acute stage of ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery, including 39 men and 26 women aged 41 to 87 years. The patients were divided into two groups: those with aphasia (group 1, 48) and those without aphasia (group 2, 17).

Seizure prediction based on electroencephalogram (EEG) for people with epilepsy, a common brain disorder worldwide, has great potential for life quality improvement. To alleviate the high degree of heterogeneity among patients, several works have attempted to learn common seizure feature distributions based on the idea of domain adaptation to enhance the generalization ability of the model. However, existing methods ignore the inherent inter-patient discrepancy within the source patients, resulting in disjointed distributions that impede effective domain alignment.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are promising tools for pain management. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that research using these tools engages underrepresented communities to make research findings more generalizable and reach all who may benefit.
