The spatial evolution of the epileptiform regime in neural networks can be alternatively described in terms of a statistical approach, dealing with average smooth, differentiable fields rather than discrete neural elements. After a brief review of mathematical methods for modeling epilepsy (the condensed matter vs. the neural mass models) together with their pros and cons, we introduce our continuous-space model for the pre-ictal scalar field and the ictal epileptiform vector flux in the form of the diffusion equat [...]

The axillary intra-aortic balloon pump (ax-IABP) has been proposed as an alternative to the femoral IABP, particularly for patients with comorbidities rendering them unsuitable for fem-IABP insertion. Patient mobilisation with the ax-IABP in situ is deemed an additional potential benefit. We reviewed our experience with the ax-IABP. A single-centre retrospective review of all adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery (including heart transplantation) in a UK quaternary cardiac surgery centre between 2017 and 2021 w [...]

The study of endophytic and rhizosphere microbiota offers considerable potential for applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and bioremediation, given the phytoremediation capacity of Amaranthus cruentus var. Pribina performed a detailed analysis of the root and rhizosphere microbial communities under cadmium (Cd) stress. Although metagenomics provides powerful tools for microbial community profiling, the reproducibility and interpretability of the results are strongly influenced by the data processing strategi [...]

During this year’s World Congress on Medical Acupuncture, the ICMART (International Council of Medical Acupuncture and Related Techniques) Science Award 2025 was presented in recognition of excellence in research and innovation within the field of medical acupuncture. The award honored pioneering work on acupuncture and moxibustion in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), conducted in collaboration with the team at Hubei University of Chinese Medicine, Wuhan. The study, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), showed that ac [...]

It has been suggested that an individual's overall functional capacity gradually declines with age. It has been reported that a decline in oral functionality increases the risk of sarcopenia and frailty, which contributes to the decrease in functional capacity. In Chile, the Preventive Medical Examination for Older Adults (EMPAM) is used to assess the functionality of that population; however, this examination does not include an evaluation of oral functionality. To address this gap, the Preventive Dental Examinati [...]

Chronic Kidney Disease is characterized by progressive, persistent, and irreversible loss of kidney function, with a high prevalence and increasing trend in the population. An important observation, common to all recent studies, is the constant changes experienced by these individuals. Analytical changes, health status and the patient's preferences should be considered when planning anticipatory care at any phase of the disease. To comprehend the significance of the Anticipatory Care Plan for Patients with End-Stag [...]

Off-the-shelf cellular therapies, utilizing allogeneic T cells derived from healthy donors, represent a promising alternative to autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies such as leukemias and lymphomas. Unlike autologous approaches, which require the patient’s own cell collection, modification, and expansion, off-the-shelf therapies can be prepared in advance, substantially reducing treatment timelines, decreasing costs, and improving global acces [...]
