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

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

Research on characteristics of bidirectional CLLC DC–DC transformer used in DC microgrid

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
In the DC microgrid system, the energy storage system must have both high power density and high energy density, and it is difficult for a single type of energy storage device to meet this requirement.

Power-take-off topology comparison for a wave energy converter

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
Wave Energy Converters (WECs) generally use a Mechanical Power-Take-Off (MPTO) involving hydraulics or gearing to optimise the extraction of energy from the incoming waves before converting it into electrical energy via a high speed rotating generator ...

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...
