Ultrasound Neuromodulation (Low‐Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to Treat Knee Osteoarthritis Pain

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Low‐intensity focused ultrasound is a non‐invasive neuromodulation technique that delivers mechanical forces to a deep location within the body through acoustic pressure waves without affecting tissue between the transducer and focal target. Preliminary studies involving healthy volunteers suggest focused ultrasound reversibly prevents action potential

Time-dependent Internal DFT formalism and Kohn-Sham scheme [PDF]

Phys.Rev.C80:054614,2009, 2009
We generalize to the time-dependent case the stationary Internal DFT / Kohn-Sham formalism presented in Ref. [14]. We prove that, in the time-dependent case, the internal properties of a self-bound system (as an atomic nuclei) are all defined by the internal one-body density and the initial state. We set-up a time-dependent Internal Kohn-Sham scheme as

Time-dependent Kohn-Sham approach to quantum electrodynamics [PDF]

Phys. Rev. A 84, 042107 (2011), 2010
We prove a generalization of the van Leeuwen theorem towards quantum electrodynamics, providing the formal foundations of a time-dependent Kohn-Sham construction for coupled quantized matter and electromagnetic fields. Thereby we circumvent the symmetry-causality problems associated with the action-functional approach to Kohn-Sham systems. We show that

Research Methodology in Acupuncture for Managing Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: A Scoping Review

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acupuncture and moxibustion are being explored as complementary therapies with promising potential in managing interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). While some studies indicate possible benefits, their scientific basis and clinical efficacy remain subjects of debate, partly due to methodological flaws in study ...

Incorporating External Data into the Analysis of Clinical Trials via Bayesian Additive Regression Trees [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Most clinical trials involve the comparison of a new treatment to a control arm (e.g., the standard of care) and the estimation of a treatment effect. External data, including historical clinical trial data and real-world observational data, are commonly available for the control arm.
