A novel way to use cross-validation to measure connectivity by machine learning allows epilepsy surgery outcome prediction by Karla Ivankovic, Alessandro Principe, Justo Montoya-Gálvez, Linus Manubens-Gil, Riccardo Zucca, Pablo Villoslada, Mara Dierssen, Rodrigo Rocamora

“…Time intervals proportional to seizure length were more informative than the almost universally used fixed intervals.This study demonstrates that connectivity can be successfully classified with a machine learning analysis and provide information for distinguishing a separate epileptogenic functional network. In summary, the connectivity change analysis could accurately identify epileptogenic networks validated by surgery outcome classification. …”

Factors associated with decreased anal sphincter tone and the accuracy of forced anal examinations to detect individuals having receptive anal intercourse: an observational study by John A Schneider, Alan G Nyitray, Derek Smith, Michael W Ross, Elizabeth Y Chiao, Timothy J Ridolfi, Bridgett Brzezinski, B R Simon Rosser, Aniruddha Hazra, Jenna Nitkowski, Sandrine Sanos, Ever Mkonyi, Lucy Mgopa

“…Using baseline data from a longitudinal study, we aimed to determine factors associated with sphincter tone and the accuracy of sphincter tonality to detect persons engaging in receptive anal intercourse.Methods Clinicians in Chicago, Houston and Milwaukee, USA conducted digital anal rectal examinations (DARE) to score sphincter resting tone (RT) and squeeze tone (ST). On a separate survey, individuals reported their preferred position for anal intercourse, that is, either always/mostly insertive anal intercourse, always/mostly receptive anal intercourse or both receptive and insertive anal intercourse. …”
