Video-Assisted versus Open Lobectomy in Patients with Compromised Lung Function: A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis. by Ruoyu Zhang, Mark K Ferguson

“…<h4>Background</h4>It has been suggested that video-assisted (VATS) lobectomy is safer than open lobectomy in patients with compromised lung function, but data regarding this are limited. We assessed acute outcomes of VATS compared to open lobectomy in these high-risk patients using a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of data.…”

Overlapping structural and functional connectivity disruptions in clinical high-risk for psychosis participants: A network analysis study by Angus Paton, Tineke Grent- ’t-Jong, Ruchika Gajwani, Joachim Gross, Andrew I. Gumley, Stephen M. Lawrie, Matthias Schwannauer, Frauke Schultze-Lutter, Peter J. Uhlhaas

“…Schizophrenia involves aberrant connectivity of anatomical and functional networks. However, it is currently unclear whether such disruptions are present in clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) participants and whether there may be an overlap between structural and functional connectivity alterations.We obtained diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and resting-state, magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data from N = 110 CHR-P participants and N = 49 healthy controls (HC). …”

Analysis of Differences Between Groups of Locomotive Crew Drivers With Different Degrees of Ability to Arbitrarily Regulate Their Functional State by N. V. Shcherbina

“…We analyzed the differences in psychophysiological and personal characteristics between three groups of test drivers and locomotive crew assistants with varying degrees of ability to voluntarily regulate their functional state. For the analysis, we used the data of psychophysiological examination using the UPDK-MK complex for professional psychophysiological examination and selection of railway workers (Neurokom, Russia) and data obtained by the method of functional biocontrol with biofeedback (NeuroDog, Neurokom, Russia). …”

Continuous wavelet based transfer function analysis of cerebral autoregulation dynamics for neuromonitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy by Marcus Thudium, Evgeniya Kornilov, Evgeniya Kornilov, Stefan Moestl, Fabian Hoffmann, Fabian Hoffmann, Alex Hoff, Surat Kulapatana, Surat Kulapatana, Surat Kulapatana, Vasile Urechie, Vasile Urechie, Maximilian Oremek, Stefano Rigo, Stefano Rigo, Stefano Rigo, Karsten Heusser, Italo Biaggioni, Jens Tank, André Diedrich, André Diedrich

“…Derived parameters like cerebral oxygenation index or Fast Fourier Transform based coherence estimates between blood pressure and cerebral blood flow have their limitations of use for stationary data and low time resolution. Wavelet transfer function analysis can be employed to estimate coherence, gain and phase relationship between two signals without these restrictions.MethodsWe aimed to extend the previously described Grinsted wavelet package with rectified bias of power and transfer function gain estimation of cerebral autoregulation assessment. …”
