A total of 72 EEGs from 57 patients with SSPE were studied. The EEG studies in SSPE revealed periodic high amplitude complexes in all except one. Besides periodic complexes, we found several atypical EEG findings including frontal rhythmic delta activity in intervals between periodic complexes, electrodecremental periods following EEG complexes, diffuse sharp waves and sharp-and-slow-wave complexes over frontal regions, and focal abnormalities, such as sharp wave and sharp and slow wave foci, which have been rarely reported previously. We also described a new finding characterized by high amplitude generalized rhythmic sharp wave activity following periodic complexes in one patient.

A novel posterior decompression technique (anterior sliding decompression osteotomy) for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the thoracic spine.
J Neurosurg Spine
January 2025
3Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Haeundae Bumin Hospital, Busan, South Korea.
Objective: Conventional decompression surgery for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the thoracic spine, whether approached anteriorly or posteriorly, poses several challenges, including technical complexity, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, incomplete decompression, and potential neurological deterioration. Therefore, the authors introduce a novel technique, anterior sliding decompression osteotomy (ASDO), for thoracic myelopathy caused by OPLL and evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.
Methods: Six patients (4 men and 2 women) who underwent ASDO surgery for beak-type OPLL in the thoracic spine with a follow-up period of at least 2 years were included in the cohort.
Associations between dialysis modality and adherence to immunosuppression after kidney transplantation-A single-center study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Helsinki University Hospital, Abdominal Centre, Transplantation and Liver Surgery, and University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease often prefer home-based dialysis due to higher self-efficacy, which relates to improved medical treatment adherence. Kidney transplantation (KT) success depends on adhering to immunosuppressive medication post-transplant.
Objectives: To investigate whether adherence post-kidney transplantation (KT) and patients' attitudes toward immunosuppression were influenced by their prior dialysis type modality.
The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation.
J Anim Ecol
January 2025
Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), Museum Koenig, Centre for Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation Science, Bonn, Germany.
Understanding insect behaviour and its underlying drivers is vital for interpreting changes in local biodiversity and predicting future trends. Conventional insect traps are typically limited to assess the composition of local insect communities over longer time periods and provide only limited insights into the effects of abiotic factors, such as light on species activity. Achieving finer temporal resolution is labour-intensive or only possible under laboratory conditions.

Klinik für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie, UK-SH, Campus Kiel, Germany.
Background: Pelvic ring and acetabular fractures are among the most complicated and severe injury patterns in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Inpatient treatment is not only costly but also very time-consuming. The aim of this study is to identify predictors leading to a prolonged length of hospital stay.
