Left Atrial Strain Value Versus Tissue Doppler Echocardiography and the Left Atrium Volume Index in the Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]

open access: yesClinics and Practice
Background: In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and decreased ejection fraction (HFrEF), LA strain, an indicator of the filling and discharge of the left atrium (LA), was recently identified as a sign of diastolic dysfunction.

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Association of Tissue Doppler and Strain Imaging with Disease Activity

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, 2020
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a connective tissue disorder with cardiovascular involvement associated with high morbidity and mortality. Routine echocardiography often misses early myocardial involvement.

Reliability of EEG Interactions Differs between Measures and Is Specific for Neurological Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Alterations of interaction (connectivity) of the EEG reflect pathological processes in patients with neurologic disorders. Nevertheless, it is questionable whether these patterns are reliable over time in different measures of interaction and whether ...

Reliability of EEG Measures of Interaction: A Paradigm Shift Is Needed to Fight the Reproducibility Crisis

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Measures of interaction (connectivity) of the EEG are at the forefront of current neuroscientific research. Unfortunately, test-retest reliability can be very low, depending on the measure and its estimation, the EEG-frequency of interest, the length of ...

Factors Affecting Volume Changes of the Somatosensory Cortex in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury: To Be Considered for Future Neuroprosthetic Design

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe chronic disability, but also to secondary adaptive changes upstream to the injury in the brain which are most likely induced due to the lack of afferent information.
