Seminar in Epileptology: Normal awake and sleep patterns, interictal abnormalities, and ictal patterns on scalp EEG

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The accurate interpretation of scalp EEG remains an instrumental diagnostic component of epilepsy care. Knowledge of what constitutes normal EEG findings, non‐epileptiform abnormalities, and epileptiform patterns—both ictal and interictal—is essential for appropriate patient management.

Establishment of a Machine Learning‐Based Prediction Model for Short‐Term Adverse Prognosis in Neonatal Bacterial Meningitis

iLABMED, EarlyView.
This study systematically evaluated multiple machine learning models to predict short‐term adverse prognosis in neonatal bacterial meningitis using a retrospective cohort of 433 infants. The logistic regression model, combining mRMR‐selected and clinically prioritized variables, demonstrated optimal predictive performance (AUC = 0.908).

Evaluating Brief Behavioural Activation for depression in adolescents with acquired brain injury using a single‐case experimental design

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adolescents who have had an acquired brain injury (ABI) commonly experience depression. Brief Behavioural Activation (Brief BA) is a successful, values‐based intervention for managing depression in neurotypical adolescents. This study investigated the effectiveness of Brief BA, using a single‐case experimental design, with ...
