Advancing EEG Technology for Affordable and Effective Epilepsy Detection
Abstract: For a proper diagnosis and prompt treatment, epilepsy, a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, needs to be continuously monitored. Manual interpretation is frequently used in traditional approaches for identifying epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which can be laborious and error-prone. In this research, a novel method for automatically detecting epilepsy from EEG data using deep learning algorithms is presented. According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) …

Combination of Nanomaterials and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Effective Treatment of Epilepsy
Abstract: Around 50 million people across the world are affected due to epilepsy. One of the most common symptoms of epilepsy is seizures which is usually controlled by administering anti-epileptic drugs. But these drugs fail to control seizures for a long period of time as they do not change the underlying physiological conditions of the brain. Therefore, it is very important to alter the biological mechanism that causes seizures. This can …

Efficacy of Combination Therapy with Osimertinib and Afatinib in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer Patients
Abstract: Treatment options for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who have epidermal growth factor receptor mutations are constrained by the emergence of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Osimertinib or afatinib alone, when tested in a laboratory model, led to the formation of drug-resistant clones harboring epidermal growth factor receptor secondary mutations. However, combining these drugs prevented the emergence of such mutations. In a Phase II clinical trial, …

Optimizing Anesthesia for Major Surgery: The Role of Sequential Combined Spinal-Epidural Technique
Abstract: The Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) approach has been widely employed over the last decade because it achieves rapid onset and substantial blockage while also allowing for the modification or prolongation of the block. Background: Sequential spinal-epidural anesthesia (SSEA) combines the rapid onset and dense blockade of spinal anesthesia with the prolonged duration and adjustable analgesia of epidural anesthesia. This technique is particularly beneficial in major surgeries requiring prolonged operative time …

Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics Using Stochastic Differential Equations: A Review
Abstract: The accurate modeling of infectious disease dynamics is crucial for predicting outbreaks and informing public health interventions. While deterministic models such as the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) framework have traditionally been used to understand disease transmission, they often fail to account for the randomness inherent in real-world scenarios. Disease spread is influenced by numerous uncertain factors, including individual behavioral changes, environmental fluctuations, and imperfect data reporting. These uncertainties can significantly impact model …
