OBJECTIVE: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a common treatment for medically intractable epilepsy, but response rates are highly variable, with no preoperative means of identifying good candidates. This study aimed to predict VNS response using struc...
There is an unmet need to develop robust predictive algorithms to preoperatively identify pediatric epilepsy patients who will respond to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). Given the similarity in the neural circuitry between vagus and median nerve affer...
BACKGROUND: In order to improve taVNS efficacy, the usage of fMRI to explore the predictive neuroimaging markers would be beneficial for screening the appropriate MDD population before treatment.
Diabetes is a global health crisis with rising incidence, mortality, and economic burden. Traditional markers like HbA1c are insufficient for capturing short-term glycemic fluctuations, leading to the need for more precise metrics such as Glucose Var...
