Inventory of personal factors influencing conditioned pain modulation in healthy people: a systematic literature review [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is believed to play an important role in the development and exacerbation of chronic pain, because dysfunction of CPM is associated with a shift in balance between pain facilitation and pain inhibition.

The Case of a 28‐Year‐Old Woman With Medically Refractory Focal Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the case of a 28‐year‐old right‐handed woman with medically refractory focal epilepsy. Her seizure semiology and electroencephalography (EEG) indicated a seizure onset zone in the right central‐parietal area. However, both MRI and PET scans were unremarkable, showing no focal lesions or areas of altered metabolism.

Temporal Characteristics of Velopharyngeal Muscle Function [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972
Temporal characteristics of palatoglossus and palatal levator muscle action in nasal consonant production were studied in seven Swedish speakers. Single motor unit potentials from these muscles were detected by inserted wire electrodes, stored on magnetic tape, and later recorded on light-sensitive paper for analysis.

Prediction of Myasthenia Gravis Worsening: A Machine Learning Algorithm Using Wearables and Patient‐Reported Measures

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness with potential life‐threatening crises. Timely interventions may be delayed by limited access to care and fragmented documentation. Our objective was to develop predictive algorithms for MG deterioration using multimodal telemedicine data ...
