Spatiotemporal Responses to Emotional Conflict and Its Psychiatric Correlates in Adolescents with Epilepsy Using Magnetoencephalography

Spatiotemporal Responses to Emotional Conflict and Its Psychiatric Correlates in Adolescents with Epilepsy Using Magnetoencephalography

Spatio-Temporal Responses of Emotional Conflict and Psychiatric Correlation in Adolescent Epilepsy Patients Research Background Epilepsy patients often experience comorbid mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, which negatively impact their quality of life. Emotional regulation is a critical cognitive process that is frequently impaired i...

The Role of EEG Microstates in Predicting Oxcarbazepine Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Newly-Diagnosed Focal Epilepsy

The Role of EEG Microstates in Predicting Oxcarbazepine Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Newly-Diagnosed Focal Epilepsy

The Role of EEG Microstates in Predicting the Therapeutic Outcomes of Oxcarbazepine in Newly Diagnosed Focal Epilepsy Patients Introduction Background Focal epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy, accounting for about 60% of all epilepsy cases. The selection of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) varies depending on the type of epilepsy. In the treatm...

A Wearable Fluorescence Imaging Device for Intraoperative Identification of Human Brain Tumors

Malignant Glioma (MG) Report Malignant Glioma (MG) is the most common type of primary malignant brain tumor. Surgical resection of MG remains the cornerstone of treatment, and the extent of resection is highly correlated with patient survival. However, it is difficult to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue during surgery, which greatly limi...

An Explicit Estimated Baseline Model for Robust Estimation of Fluorophores Using Multiple-Wavelength Excitation Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Research Background Fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used method for identifying and quantifying fluorescent substances (fluorophores). However, quantifying the fluorophores of interest becomes challenging when the material contains other fluorophores (baseline fluorophores), especially when the emission spectrum of the baseline is not well-de...

Multi-Level Feature Exploration and Fusion Network for Prediction of IDH Status in Gliomas from MRI

Multi-Level Feature Exploration and Fusion Network for Prediction of IDH Status in MRI Background Glioma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. According to the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors, genotype plays a significant role in the classification of tumor subtypes, especially the isocitrate dehy...

Normalizing Flow-Based Distribution Estimation of Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging

In modern medical diagnostics and clinical research, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) technology provides significant information regarding tissue pathophysiology. By fitting a Tracer-Kinetic (TK) model, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters can be extracted from time-series MRI signals. However, these estimated PK parameter...

A Siamese-Transport Domain Adaptation Framework for 3D MRI Classification of Gliomas and Alzheimer’s Diseases

Classification of 3D MRI Gliomas and Alzheimer’s Disease Based on the Siamese-Transport Domain Adaptation Framework Background In computer-aided diagnosis, 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening plays a vital role in the early diagnosis of various brain diseases, effectively preventing the deterioration of the condition. Glioma is a common m...

Vision Transformers, Ensemble Model, and Transfer Learning Leveraging Explainable AI for Brain Tumor Detection and Classification

In recent years, due to the high incidence and lethality of brain tumors, rapid and accurate detection and classification of brain tumors have become particularly important. Brain tumors include both malignant and non-malignant types, and their abnormal growth can cause long-term damage to the brain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a commonly u...

Evaluating the Predictive Value of Glioma Growth Models for Low-Grade Glioma after Tumor Resection

Research Review on the Predictive Value of Low-Grade Glioma Postoperative Growth Models Introduction Glioma is an aggressive brain tumor whose cells rapidly diffuse within the brain. Understanding and predicting the pattern and speed of this diffusion can help optimize treatment plans. Glioma growth models based on diffusion-proliferation have show...

Physics-Informed Deep Learning for Musculoskeletal Modeling: Predicting Muscle Forces and Joint Kinematics from Surface EMG

Musculoskeletal models have been widely used in biomechanical analysis because they can estimate motion variables that are difficult to measure directly in living organisms, such as muscle forces and joint moments. Traditional physics-driven computational musculoskeletal models can explain the dynamic interactions between neural inputs to muscles, ...
