Music Interventions in Hyperacute and Acute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Feasibility Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Music interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on hemodynamic parameters, pain, and anxiety in various medical settings. However, music interventions in the setting of acute stroke have not been studied. The objective of this trial was to perform a pilot feasibility study of music interventions in the setting of acute

Surgical-VQA: Visual Question Answering in Surgical Scenes using Transformer [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Visual question answering (VQA) in surgery is largely unexplored. Expert surgeons are scarce and are often overloaded with clinical and academic workloads. This overload often limits their time answering questionnaires from patients, medical students or junior residents related to surgical procedures.

Development of a Disease Model for Predicting Postoperative Delirium Using Combined Blood Biomarkers

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative delirium, a common neurocognitive complication after surgery and anesthesia, requires early detection for potential intervention. Herein, we constructed a multidimensional postoperative delirium risk‐prediction model incorporating multiple demographic parameters and blood biomarkers to enhance prediction accuracy ...

Bioelectric Registration of Electromagnetic Tracking and Preoperative Volume Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
For minimally invasive endovascular surgery, the localization of catheters and guidewires inside the human body is essential. Electromagnetic (EM) tracking is one technology that allows localizing such surgical instruments. For localizing intra-operatively EM-tracked instruments with respect to preoperative volume data, it is necessary to bring pre ...

Home‐Based Tele‐tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home‐based format, remains underexplored.
