One-year seizure freedom and quality of life in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy receiving adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation in Japan. [PDF]

Epilepsia Open
Abstract Objective Amount of seizure‐free days is a critical determinant of quality of life (QoL) in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). The fractions of patients experiencing prolonged periods of seizure freedom with adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) have yet to be assessed on a large scale.

Influence of temperature on twitch potentiation following submaximal voluntary contractions in human plantar flexor muscles. [PDF]

Physiol Rep, 2023
Abstract This study aimed to clarify the influence of temperature on post‐activation twitch potentiation, a possible indicator of fast‐twitch fiber activation during a preceding voluntary contraction. Ten healthy males immersed their left lower leg in water of different temperatures (cold: 0°C, neutral: 32–35°C, hot: ~43°C) for 20 min each.

Usefulness of P‐wave peak time as an electrocardiographic parameter in predicting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with mitral regurgitation

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 27, Issue 6, November 2022., 2022
Conventional Doppler measurements have some limitations in predicting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Electrocardiographic P‐wave peak time (PWPT) has been proposed as a parameter of LVDD. We evaluated correlation between the PWPT in lead II (PWPTII) and left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure ...

Expert consensus document on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram: The task force on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram in Japan part 3: Inappropriate internal processing in the automatic diagnosis of electrocardiograms and its problems. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Computer diagnosis of electrocardiograms is widely used to provide useful information in clinical practice and medical checkups. However, it is common for users to be confused by the inappropriate diagnosis. We illustrate some examples of inappropriate automatic diagnoses and discuss the actual situation of inappropriate automatic processing and its ...
