Spinal cord stimulation therapy for gait impairment in Parkinson’s disease: a double-blinded, randomised feasibility trial with an open extension [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsA trial of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) was performed in people with gait-impaired Parkinson’s (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05110053 ). Fourteen patients underwent gait assessments and [18F]-FDG and [18F]-FEOBV PET at baseline, six, and twelve months after ...

Resting‐state functional connectivity changes with microburst vagus nerve stimulation therapy [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenObjective Microburst vagus nerve stimulation (μVNS) may reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) via targeted thalamic plasticity. We prospectively investigated the role of thalamic resting‐state functional connectivity (rsFC) in μVNS ...

The Predictability of the Southern England 23 October 2022 Severe Downbursts
Atmospheric Science LettersAccurate prediction of damaging straight‐line wind events from convective storms relies heavily on storm morphology and nowcasting. Utilising the Microburst Wind Potential Index in ensemble forecasts we examine the predictability of its different ...

Relativistic Microburst Scale Size Induced by a Single Point‐Source Chorus Element
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Relativistic microbursts are impulsive, sub‐second precipitation bursts of relativistic electrons. They are one of the main loss mechanisms of outer radiation belt electrons, and are driven by chorus waves.

The Repetition Period of MeV Electron Microbursts as Measured by SAMPEX/HILT
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Here we examine properties of MeV electron microbursts to better understand their generation mechanisms. Using 15 years of data from Solar, Anomalous, Magnetospheric Particles Explorer/Heavy Ion Large Telescope, >1 MeV microburst repetition periods (time

Catching the Microburst Culprits with Snappy [PDF]
Proceedings of the Afternoon Workshop on Self-Driving Networks, 2018 Short-lived traffic surges, known as microbursts, can cause periods of unexpectedly high packet delay and loss on a link. Today, preventing microbursts requires deploying switches with larger packet buffers (incurring higher cost) or running the network at low utilization (sacrificing efficiency).
