Analgesic Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Different Stimulus Parameters for Neuropathic Pain: A Randomized Study

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the analgesic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex (M1‐rTMS) using different stimulation parameters to explore the optimal stimulus condition for treating neuropathic pain.

Optimized Coherence Masking Improves Ultrasound Imaging of Kidney Cysts

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Renal cystic lesions are exceedingly common and typically benign, though accurate diagnostic techniques are required to recognize the subset of malignant lesions that require timely intervention. Ultrasound (US) is the preferred first line test for renal cyst evaluation because it is safe, widely accessible, and low cost. US imaging, however,

Heart Rate Variability Features as Predictors of Intermittent Theta‐Burst Stimulation Response in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with autonomic dysfunction as indicated by deficits in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. These abnormalities are expressed as elevated heart rate and reduced heart rate variability (HRV), respectively.

Comparison of 3‐Dimensional Ultrasound and Computed Tomography for Imaging of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Three‐dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is emerging as a novel imaging method for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) as it creates a low‐cost 3D AAA overview without harmful radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents, as opposed to conventional imaging. 3D US can be used with a non‐nephrotoxic contrast agent (3D‐CEUS) for lumen delineation.

Hemodynamic Significance of APEXCT Coronary Angiography Combined With Dynamic CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Assessing Restenosis After Coronary Stenting

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

Respiratory Care Trajectory in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the Advanced Stage: A Retrospective Single‐Center Study

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Data on respiratory status and care in older adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) remain limited. This study aimed to characterize respiratory status, respiratory physiotherapy, and associated clinical features in patients with DMD aged ≥ 30 years.
