Oscillatory neuronal (electrical) activity in defined frequency ranges supports synchronous interactions between anatomically distinct regions of the human brain during cognitive tasks. Here in, this study presents a review of our previous studies, focusing on the neural oscillations in the sensory systems in response to external stimuli in normal healthy subjects and those with neurological disorders. Event-related evoked responses, using magnetoencephalography and high-density electroencephalography, were applied to evaluate neuromagnetic oscillations. This study demonstrated that altered neural synchronization plays an important role in distributed cortico-cortical processing. Therefore, some neuropsychiatric disorders can be conceptualized as network diseases.

Background And Aims: Prior studies indicate that serum calprotectin (SC) and plasma calprotectin (PC) can be used as biomarkers in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of SC and PC in patients with a clinical suspicion of CD.

Method: This biobank study included patients from a prospective, blinded, multicenter study examining minimally invasive modalities for diagnosing CD.

Background: Cabotegravir + rilpivirine (CAB + RPV) administered via intramuscular gluteal injections is the first complete long-acting regimen for maintaining human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virologic suppression. We present substudy results on short-term repeat intramuscular CAB + RPV long-acting thigh injections in participants with ≥3 years of experience with gluteal administration during the ATLAS-2M study.

Methods: Substudy phases included screening, thigh injection (day 1-week 16), and return to gluteal injection (week 16-week 24).

Background: Despite limited breakthroughs in COPD pharmacotherapy, recent trials have shown promising results for biologics in COPD patients. However, robust evidence synthesis in this area is currently lacking.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to July 17, 2024, to identify randomized trials of biologic medications in patients with COPD.

The diagnosis gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is known to have a significant psychological impact on women. Our objective was to provide insight in the psychological and physical consequences of women with GTD, while also reflecting on their coping strategies and their experiences of received care. A qualitative study was carried out using semi-structured interviews among women recently diagnosed with GTD.
