Multiscale detrended cross-correlation coefficient: estimating coupling in non-stationary neurophysiological signals.

The brain consists of a vastly interconnected network of regions, the connectome. By estimating the statistical interdependence of neurophysiological time series, we can measure the functional connectivity (FC) of this connectome. Pearson's correlation ( ) is a common metric of coupling in FC studies.

Human-Written vs AI-Generated Texts in Orthopedic Academic Literature: Comparative Qualitative Analysis.

Background: As large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly integrated into different aspects of health care, questions about the implications for medical academic literature have begun to emerge. Key aspects such as authenticity in academic writing are at stake with artificial intelligence (AI) generating highly linguistically accurate and grammatically sound texts.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare human-written with AI-generated scientific literature in orthopedics and sports medicine.

Incisional hernia repair following pancreatic surgery-open vs laparoscopic approach.

Introduction: For pancreatic procedures, transverse and midline or combined approaches are used. Having an increased morbidity after pancreatic surgery, these patients have an increased risk of developing an incisional hernia. In the following, we will analyze how the results of incisional hernia surgery after pancreatic surgery are presented in the Herniamed Registry.

Non-Adherence with Physiotherapeutic Rehabilitation-A Cross-Cultural Adaption of Compliance Parameters into German.

Background: Compliance with rehabilitative physiotherapeutic measures leads to an improvement in outcomes in patients suffering from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. To date, a tool for assessing the parameters that lead to non-adherence to physical therapy does not exist in the German language. The objective of this paper is to cross-culturally adapt a non-compliance questionnaire to German.

Preoperative risk assessment for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF): Image-based calculation of duct-to-parenchyma (D/P) ratio and an Alignment of Duct and Mucosa (ADAM) anastomosis may lead to a low POPF rate-results from 386 patients.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most critical complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Preoperative identification of high-risk patients and optimal pancreatic reconstruction technique can be a way to reduce postoperative complications.

Methods: A series of 386 patients underwent PD over a 10-year period (2009-2019).

Late Endograft Migration After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: The objective of this systematic review was to report the cumulative incidence of endograft migration (EM), as well as the morbidity, reintervention rates, and mortality related to EM. This study aimed to provide evidence-based data on patient-relevant sequelae of EM after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) performed using contemporary aortic endografts.

Materials And Methods: A systematic electronic search of literature in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was performed.

The clinical impact of preoperative biliary drainage on isolated infectious complications (iiC) after pancreatic head resection-a retrospective study.

Background: The perioperative morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is mostly influenced by intraabdominal complications which are often associated with infections. In patients with preoperative biliary drainage (PBD), the risk for postoperative infections may be even elevated. The aim of this study is to explore if isolated infectious complications without intraabdominal focus (iiC) can be observed after PD and if they are associated to PBD and antibiotic prophylaxis with potential conclusions for their treatment.
