“Low‐Positive” MOG‐IgG Cases Among Adults With a First Event Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with “low‐positive” (LP) MOG‐IgG (titres 1:160–1:320) among adults with a first demyelinating event (FDE) suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods From the Barcelona CIS inception cohort, we included adult patients with serum collected ≤ 6 months from the FDE.

Dual n-back training improves functional connectivity of the right inferior frontal gyrus at rest

Scientific Reports, 2020
Several studies have shown that the benefits of working memory (WM) training can be attributed to functional and structural neural changes in the underlying neural substrate.

Complementing Engel Classification: Postoperative Scalp EEG as an Objective Indicator in SEEG‐Guided Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation—A Seizure‐Onset Pattern‐Based Stratified Analysis—

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stereoelectroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG‐RFTC) is a minimally invasive therapy for drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. However, the relationship between specific seizure‐onset patterns (SOPs), particularly low‐voltage fast activity (LVFA), and postoperative scalp EEG normalization remains inadequately ...

Anchoring the human olfactory system within a functional gradient

NeuroImage, 2020
Margulies et al. (2016) demonstrated the existence of at least five independent functional connectivity gradients in the human brain. However, it is unclear how these functional gradients might link to anatomy.

Dual connectivity and standalone modes for LTE-U

CoRR, 2020
Long-Term Evolution in unlicensed bands (LTE-U) has been considered as an effective way of offloading traffic from licensed bands. This paper discusses the scenarios, requirements and different operation modes of LTE-U. Motivations and benefits of supporting two of the operation modes namely Dual Connectivity(DC) and standalone are discussed.

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Dual-site beta transcranial alternating current stimulation during a bimanual coordination task modulates functional connectivity between motor areas

Brain Stimulation
Background: Communication within brain networks depends on functional connectivity. One promising approach to modulate such connectivity between cortical areas is dual-site transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), which non-invasively applies

The relationship between spatial configuration and functional connectivity of brain regions revisited

eLife, 2019
Previously we showed that network-based modelling of brain connectivity interacts strongly with the shape and exact location of brain regions, such that cross-subject variations in the spatial configuration of functional brain regions are being ...

Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Generative Artificial Intelligence Utilization and Perspectives Among Reproductive‐Age Women With Systemic Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Reproductive‐age women with systemic autoimmune and rheumatic diseases (SARDs) have unique information needs related to their SARDs and reproductive health. We sought to understand their use of and receptivity to current and hypothetical generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for health information‐seeking. Methods We conducted a cross‐
