Heart Rhythm
March 2025
Cardiovascular Division, Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN, US. Electronic address:
Background: Stretch-induced syncope (SIS) is a poorly understood condition that we hypothesized may be due to a neural reflex hypotensive response triggered by stretching of shoulder/upper back muscles.
Objective: This study compared shoulder/upper back stretching on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) responses in patients with SIS with findings in controls being evaluated for symptoms unrelated to stretching.
Methods: The study population comprised 33 individuals; 9 otherwise healthy SIS patients and 24 healthy controls.
Epilepsia Open
March 2025
Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia.
Objectives: Genetic-associated epilepsy in the Indonesian population is rarely discussed, and no study was specifically studied about photosensitive epilepsy. The fundamental goal of this research endeavor was to evaluate whether the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the Bromodomain-Containing Protein 2 (BRD2) gene gives vulnerability to photosensitive epilepsy among Indonesian descent.
Methods: This observational case-control study includes patients of Indonesian descent with Javanese ancestry.

Epilepsy is a disease of the brain that causes unprovoked or reflex seizures that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Traditionally, identifying epileptic states involves assessing neuroimaging scans or brain electrical signals recorded by EEG devices. However, due to the complex nature of these signals, there are growing demands for developing predictive systems that can improve the detection of this brain condition through unseen discriminating features.

Temporarily reducing retinal stimulation when exposed to a hazardous photic stimulus by activating a rapidly responding electrochromic material could provide a novel seizure prevention method, referred to as the "EpilepSee Glasses", for people with photosensitive epilepsy.Analysis of an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording has shown reduced photoparoxysmal responses when exposed to flashing light whilst wearing a pair of glasses with one lens covered by an electrochromic material. By characterising the variation of the light seen in a user's field of vision in real time, and exploiting the fact that a stimulus must, on average, be present for at least 1 second to cause a seizure, the glasses' lens only needs to activate upon detection of a potentially harmful stimulus.
