Yes or no? A study of ErrPs in the "guess what I am thinking" paradigm with stimuli of different visual content.

Error-related potentials (ErrPs) have attracted attention in part because of their practical potential for building brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigms. BCIs, facilitating direct communication between the brain and machines, hold great promise for brain-AI interaction. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of ErrPs is crucial to ensure reliable BCI outcomes.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants versus Vitamin K Antagonists for Left Ventricular Thrombus: A Meta-Analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis.

Background: Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are the recommended first-line treatment for left ventricular thrombus (LVT); however, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been considered an alternative therapy.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of DOACs compared with VKAs therapy in patients with LVT.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched for randomized clinical trials or cohort studies that compared DOACs versus VKAs for LVT.

Review on the Use of Brain Computer Interface Rehabilitation Methods for Treating Mental and Neurological Conditions.

This review provides a comprehensive examination of recent developments in both neurofeedback and brain-computer interface (BCI) within the medical field and rehabilitation. By analyzing and comparing results obtained with various tools and techniques, we aim to offer a systematic understanding of BCI applications concerning different modalities of neurofeedback and input data utilized. Our primary objective is to address the existing gap in the area of meta-reviews, which provides a more comprehensive outlook on the field, allowing for the assessment of the current landscape and developments within the scope of BCI.

[Functional recovery in older inpatients with hypertension and ischemic heart disease post-COVID-19.].

Understanding the recovery process of functional abilities post-COVID-19 in older inpatients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease is important for optimising healthcare delivery and resources. Participants in this study were individuals undergoing hospital-based rehabilitation following COVID-19 (average age 66, n=183). They were categorised into groups with arterial hypertension (n=92), ischemic heart disease (n=18), both conditions (n=38), and a control group without these diseases (n=35).

Tactile versus motor imagery: differences in corticospinal excitability assessed with single-pulse TMS.

Tactile Imagery (TI) remains a fairly understudied phenomenon despite growing attention to this topic in recent years. Here, we investigated the effects of TI on corticospinal excitability by measuring motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The effects of TI were compared with those of tactile stimulation (TS) and kinesthetic motor imagery (kMI).

Mitochondria and Lipid Droplets: Focus on the Molecular Structure of Contact Sites in the Pathogenesis of Metabolic Syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex of serious pathologies with a high prevalence worldwide. Disruption of mitochondrial biogenesis and its interaction with other cell organelles plays an important role in the development of MetS. Studies have revealed the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of mitochondria that exist within a single cell and can regulate metabolic signaling pathways, influencing the development of metabolic diseases.

Global 30-day morbidity and mortality of surgery for perforated peptic ulcer: GRACE study.

Background: There is little international data on morbidity and mortality of surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU). This study aimed to understand the global 30-day morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing surgery for PPU and to identify variables associated with these.

Method: We performed an international study of adults (≥ 18 years) who underwent surgery for PPU from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2022.

Gold/cobalt ferrite nanocomposite as a potential agent for photothermal therapy.

The study encompasses an investigation of optical, photothermal and biocompatibility properties of a composite consisting of golden cores surrounded by superparamagnetic CoFeO nanoparticles. Accompanied with the experiment, the computational modeling reveals that each adjusted magnetic nanoparticle redshifts the plasmon resonance frequency in gold and nonlinearly increases the extinction cross-section at ~800 nm. The concentration dependent photothermal study demonstrates a temperature increase of 8.

Prohibitions in the meta-inflammatory response: a review.

Prohibitins are the central regulatory element of cellular homeostasis, especially by modulating the response at different levels: Nucleus, mitochondria and membranes. Their localization and interaction with various proteins, homons, transcription and nuclear factors, and mtDNA indicate the globality and complexity of their pleiotropic properties, which remain to be investigated. A more detailed deciphering of cellular metabolism in relation to prohibitins under normal conditions and in various metabolic diseases will allow us to understand the precise role of prohibitins in the signaling cascades of PI3K/Akt, Raf/MAP/ERK, STAT3, p53, and others and to fathom their mutual influence.

Fossil marine vertebrates (Chondrichthyes, Actinopterygii, Reptilia) from the Upper Cretaceous of Akkermanovka (Orenburg Oblast, Southern Urals, Russia).

Upper Cretaceous coastal marine deposits are widespread in the Southern Urals with a number of marine vertebrates previously reported from this region. However, previous studies on the vertebrate faunas in this region often lack detailed taxonomic descriptions and illustrations, rendering comparisons to other faunal assemblages difficult. A new diverse vertebrate assemblage comprising cartilaginous and bony fishes, as well as marine reptiles, is described here from the Orenburg region near Akkermanovka (Southern Urals, Russia).

NeMu: a comprehensive pipeline for accurate reconstruction of neutral mutation spectra from evolutionary data.

The recognized importance of mutational spectra in molecular evolution is yet to be fully exploited beyond human cancer studies and model organisms. The wealth of intraspecific polymorphism data in the GenBank repository, covering a broad spectrum of genes and species, presents an untapped opportunity for detailed mutational spectrum analysis. Existing methods fall short by ignoring intermediate substitutions on the inner branches of phylogenetic trees and lacking the capability for cross-species mutational comparisons.

Ecological Groups of Coleoptera (Insecta) as Indicators of Habitat Transformation on Drained and Rewetted Peatlands: A Baseline Study from a Carbon Supersite, Kaliningrad, Russia.

A total of 281 coleopteran species from 41 families were recorded from different sites of an abandoned cut-over peatland designated as the Carbon Measurement Supersite in Kaliningrad Oblast. This beetle assemblage is considered a baseline (pre-impact) faunal assemblage for further investigations during the 'before-after' (BA) or 'before-after control-impact' (BACI) study on a peatland that is planned to be rewetted. The spontaneously revegetated peatland has a less specialised beetle assemblage than at an intact raised bog.

Features of director reorientation in a thin nematic film under the influence of crossed electric and magnetic fields.

The theory based on numerical study of the system of hydrodynamic equations, which includes the director motion, shows that under the influence of crossed electric E and magnetic B fields, the director reorients in such a way that the transient quasiperiodic patterns may arise in microsized nematic volumes if the corresponding distortion mode has the fastest response and thus suppresses all other modes, including uniform ones. It has been shown that there is a threshold value of the amplitude of the thermal fluctuations of the director over the microsized nematic film which provides the nonuniform rotation mode rather than the uniform one, whereas the lower values of the amplitude dominate the uniform mode.
