Objective: To investigate whether local lesions created by stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) affect distant brain connectivity and excitability in patients with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Methods: Ten patients with focal DRE underwent SEEG implantation and subsequently 1 Hz bipolar repetitive electrical stimulation (RES) for 30 s before and after RFTC. Root mean square (RMS) of cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) was calculated for 15 ms to 300 ms post-stimulation with baseline correction.

By addressing patients' physical, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental comfort needs holistically, Kolcaba's Comfort Theory raises the standard of care and increases patient satisfaction. This study explored the combined application of these nursing models during the perioperative period for patients undergoing nasal deformity correction surgery. 92 patients undergoing nasal deformity correction at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were randomly divided into two groups: the conventional group (46 patients), which received standard perioperative nursing care, and the experimental group (46 patients), which received concept map thinking nursing combined with Kolcaba's comfort nursing intervention during the perioperative period.

First-principles calculations, particularly density functional theory (DFT) combined with D3 dispersion correction (DFT+D3), have proven to be valuable tools in simulating the adsorption of lead ions on TiCO surfaces. However, conventional theoretical models assume electrically neutral systems under vacuum conditions, neglecting the solvent environment and electrode potential's crucial effects. This study employed an implicit solvent model, treating the solvent as a continuous and homogeneous medium to capture the influence of different solvents by varying their dielectric constants.

Introduction: Due to the rapid aging of the global population, new approaches are required to improve the quality of life of older people and to reduce healthcare system expenditures. One of the approaches that can be used is value-based healthcare. This article describes a value-based solution for older people who have suffered a myocardial infarction.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of microcatheter-assisted 360-degree trabeculotomy combined with trabeculectomy (MATT-Trab) for treating refractory glaucoma.
Methods: Patients with refractory glaucoma who underwent MATT-Trab were retrospectively examined. Efficacy indicators for research statistics included the intraocular pressure (IOP) level, degree of decrease, changes in medication dosage, and success rate.
