Decoding brain signals: A comprehensive review of EEG-Based BCI paradigms, signal processing and applications.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography (EEG) is a fast-developing field with a wide range of applications such as assistive technology, neurorehabilitation, entertainment, cognitive enhancement, etc. Since EEG is a non-invasive technique that captures brain activity in real time, it is ideally suited for developing interfaces that enable direct brain-to-device communication. The different paradigms utilised in EEG-based BCIs, such as Motor Imagery (MI), Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP), P300 Event-related Potentials (ERP), and Hybrid paradigms that integrate several strategies for enhanced performance, are the main emphasis of this systematic review.

Pectin alignment induced changes in ion solvation structure in ethylene carbonate-based liquid electrolytes.

Classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the impact of the alignment of pectin over the randomized configuration on ion solvation structure in pectin-loaded ethylene carbonate - lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide electrolytes. Our study focuses on how biological macromolecules, specifically pectin, influence the behavior of liquid electrolytes, considering their applications in rechargeable batteries due to their ion solvation capabilities and ion transport characteristics. Aligned pectin causes a tightly packed first coordination shell of anions around lithium ions by weakening the long-ranged interactions beyond the first coordination shell compared to a random configuration.

Role of Patch Testing in Facial Contact Dermatitis: A Cross-Sectional Study from Central India.

Background: Facial contact dermatitis is an emerging skin disorder due to the use of a large array of materials over the face. It leads to psychological distress in patients, impacting their quality of life. Most of the allergens applied over the face vary as per cosmetic or herbal products' availability, usage, or religious practices.

Electroencephalogram based brain-computer interface: Applications, challenges, and opportunities.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) is an exciting and emerging research area for researchers and scientists. It is a suitable combination of software and hardware to operate any device mentally. This review emphasizes the significant stages in the BCI domain, current problems, and state-of-the-art findings.

Various techniques for marking patch test sites.

Patch test helps in identifying the allergen causing allergic contact dermatitis. Proper identification of the site of individual patch test allergen is very important for identifying the positive allergen. In this article, various techniques for markings patch test sites are discussed.

A Case Report of Werner's Syndrome With a Novel Mutation From India.

Werner's syndrome (WS) or progeria adultorum is a heritable autosomal recessive disease in which the aging process is accelerated, just after puberty. It is caused by mutations in the WRN gene, which encodes a member of the RECQ family of DNA helicases and has a role in DNA repair. WS is being more appropriately recognized as a condition in which the lack of WRN protein results in an overall decline in the normal physiological functions of various organs rather than premature aging.

A Rare Case Report of Dabigatran Induced Oral Ulcers.

Background: Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant molecule which is a direct thrombin (Factor IIa) inhibitor and is used for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism. It is easy to administer as compared to warfarin therapy as it does not require routine laboratory monitoring and has fewer drug interactions.

Objective: To present a rare case of oral ulcers secondary to dabigatran in a patient with deep vein thrombosis.

Retinal vascular abnormalities in Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) includes facial, leptomeningeal and choroidal hemangioma. The retinal vasculature is essentially normal. Rare cases of retinal vascular tortuosity and arterio-venous malformations have been reported.
