Local patterns play an important role in statistical physics as well as in image processing. Two-dimensional ordinal patterns were studied by Ribeiro et al. who determined permutation entropy and complexity in order to classify paintings and images of liquid crystals. Here, we find that the 2 × 2 patterns of neighboring pixels come in three types. The statistics of these types, expressed by two parameters, contains the relevant information to describe and distinguish textures. The parameters are most stable and informative for isotropic structures.

Combined effects and timing of robotic training and botulinum toxin on upper limb spasticity and motor function: a single‑blinded randomized controlled pilot study.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of robotic training (RT) and botulinum toxin (BTX) injections on motor function and spasticity in individuals with post-stroke upper limb spasticity (ULS). We also sought to investigate the optimal timing of RT and BTX administration.
Methods: Forty-two participants with chronic stroke-induced ULS were initially enrolled and randomized into four groups: Group B4R4 (RT + BTX at 4 weeks [W4]), Group B0R0 (RT + BTX at baseline [W0]), Group B0R4 (BTX at W0, RT at W4), and Group B4R0 (RT at W0, BTX at W4).
The predictive role of composite inflammatory ratio parameters in the conscious awareness recovery after severe acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study.

Department of Electroencephalogram Room, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou, 450002, China.
Background: Inflammatory mechanisms play a significant role in ischemic stroke. Peripheral neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), which are indicators capable of reflecting the magnitude of the inflammatory response, have been research hotspots. However, few research findings evaluate the prediction significance of these biomarkers in the recovery of conscious awareness following severe acute ischemic stroke.

The intersection of coronavirus (COVID-19) and heart disease has emerged as a critical nexus in the landscape of global health. Individuals with heart disease face elevated risks when infected with Severe Acute Respiratory-Syndrome Coronavirus-type-2 (SARS-CoV-2) leading to COVID-19. The virus can directly affect the heart, resulting in myocarditis, arrhythmias, and heart failure, even in individuals without prior medical cardiac history.

Automated pupillometry (AP) is a rapid, non-invasive tool to assess the pupillary light reflex, extensively used for monitoring patients with traumatic brain injury. In acute ischaemic stroke, quantitative tools to monitor neurological status and predict outcome are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the ability of AP to predict stroke outcome, defined through the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores.

We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate a socio-economic status (SES) index based on mixed dichotomous and continuous variables. In particular, we extend Quinn's ([2004]. Bayesian factor analysis for mixed ordinal and continuous responses.
