Expanding the Clinical Application of OPM-MEG: An Effective Method for Automatically Suppressing Metal Artifacts from Dental Braces Background Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique that uses multi-channel magnetic field measurement sensors to reconstruct the neural current distribution and functional networks of the brain. Compared to electro...
Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...
The Relationship between Treatment Speed of Endovascular Thrombectomy (EVT) for Acute Ischemic Stroke and Patient’s “Time at Home” Stroke is an acute disease with high disability and mortality rates. However, in recent years, the treatment efficacy of acute ischemic stroke has improved significantly with the development of endovascular thrombectomy...
Brain CT Analysis as a Tool for Outcome Prediction after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Supervised Machine Learning Analysis Research Background Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, with extremely low survival rates, ranging from 3% to 16%. The neurological and overall outcomes after O...
Natural History and MRI Follow-up of Patients with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord lined by endothelial cells and lacking smooth muscle. Due to the disruption of endothelial cell permeability and tight junctions, patients may present with foc...
Association Between Epigenetic Age Acceleration Estimates and Cognitive Trajectories in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study Background Maintaining cognitive function is crucial for independent living among older adults. With the growth of the aging population, cognitive decline has become a significant public health challenge. Many studies h...
Accuracy of Frameless Optical Navigation in Stereotactic Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy Background Glioblastoma is a rapidly growing and invasive brain tumor, and traditional treatment methods include surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, for some patients with deep-seated tumors or poor physical conditions, traditio...
In recent years, refractory epilepsy has received increasing attention from the medical community. Refractory epilepsy is defined as the continuing occurrence of severe seizures despite treatment with two appropriate antiepileptic drugs. For patients who are unresponsive to drug treatment, if the seizure onset zone (SOZ) can be accurately localized...
Application of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Insular Gliomas Research Background and Problem Statement The management of insular gliomas has always faced significant surgical challenges. Due to the complex functional and vascular anatomy surrounding the insula, maximally safe resection is highly technically challenging. Removing low-grade a...
