Abstract Objective Epilepsy is associated with low socioeconomic standing and increases the risk of sick leave. Longer periods resulting in benefit payments are captured by administrative data, but the disease also entails a risk of repeated short sick leave periods, which have so far not been studied or quantified.

Abstract This research note estimates the causal effects of a cut in the potential duration of regular unemployment benefits for older workers in Germany on the labor market outcomes of individuals with health impairments. The analyzed reform is a natural experiment that allows a difference‐in‐differences strategy with treatment intensity.

Transient localized wave patterns and their application to migraine [PDF]
Transient dynamics is pervasive in the human brain and poses challenging problems both in mathematical tractability and clinical observability. We investigate statistical properties of transient cortical wave patterns with characteristic forms (shape, size, duration) in a canonical reaction-diffusion model with mean field inhibition.

Noninvasive brain stimulation as focal epilepsy treatment in the hospital, clinic, and home
Abstract Objective Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) provides a treatment option for patients not eligible for surgical intervention or who seek low‐risk approaches and may be used in the hospital, clinic, and at home. Our objective is to summarize our single‐center experience with multiple NIBS approaches for the treatment of focal epilepsy ...

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

The Loss of Multifractality in Migraines [PDF]
We study the middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MCAfv) in humans using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). The time series of the axial flow velocity averaged over a cardiac beat interval is found to exhibit clear multifractal properties for healthy subjects. We observe a loss of multifractality for subjects with migraine.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Epileptic Seizure Detection: A Deep Learning Approach [PDF]
Epilepsy is the second most common brain disorder after migraine. Automatic detection of epileptic seizures can considerably improve the patients' quality of life. Current Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based seizure detection systems encounter many challenges in real-life situations.

Modeling methodology for the accurate and prompt prediction of symptomatic events in chronic diseases [PDF]
Prediction of symptomatic crises in chronic diseases allows to take decisions before the symptoms occur, such as the intake of drugs to avoid the symptoms or the activation of medical alarms. The prediction horizon is in this case an important parameter in order to fulfill the pharmacokinetics of medications, or the time response of medical services ...
