Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in preterm infants.
Design: The study conducted a comprehensive analysis across three databases, namely EMBASE, MEDLINE and Cochrane Central, to identify randomised controlled trials comparing NHFOV and NCPAP. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager V.5.3 software.
Main Outcomes Measures: The primary outcomes of the study were the intubation or reintubation rate in the NHFOV and NCPAP groups. Additionally, secondary outcomes included the partial pressure of carbon dioxide levels and major complications associated with non-invasive respiratory support ventilation.
Results: Ten randomised controlled studies, involving 2031 preterm infants, were included in this meta-analysis. When compared with NCPAP, NHFOV demonstrated a significant reduction in the intubation or reintubation rate (p<0.01, relative risk=0.45, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.55), and there was no statistical difference in related complications.
Conclusion: In preterm infants, NHFOV appears to be an effective intervention for decreasing the intubation or reintubation rate compared with NCPAP, with no increase in associated complications.

Effectiveness of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation coupled with rehabilitation in patients with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

Background: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) leads to partial or complete sensorimotor loss because of the spinal lesions caused either by trauma or any pathological conditions. Rehabilitation, one of the therapeutic methods, is considered to be a significant part of therapy supporting patients with spinal cord injury. Newer methods are being incorporated, such as repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) technique to induce changes in the residual neuronal pathways, facilitating cortical excitability and neuroplasticity.

This study evaluated the agreement between markerless motion capture and criterion methods for estimating mechanical work (external and internal) performed during tennis strokes. Sixteen tennis players performed 10 serve, forehand and backhand movements whilst motion data were captured concurrently with a custom 3D markerless system (utilising open-source pose estimation; HRNet and OpenPose) and two criterion methods: marker-based motion capture and ground reaction forces. Centre of mass kinetic and potential energy were calculated and used to compute external mechanical work from all methods, whilst segment kinetic energies were calculated and used to compute internal mechanical work from the kinematic approaches only.

Background: Repetitive brain stimulation is hypothesized to bidirectionally modulate excitability, with low-frequency trains decreasing and high-frequency (>5 Hz) trains increasing excitability in the brain. However, most insights on the neuroplastic effects of repetitive stimulation protocols stem from non-invasive human studies (TMS/EEG) or from rodent slice physiology. Here, we developed a rodent experimental preparation enabling imaging of cellular activity during repetitive stimulation protocols in vivo to understand the mechanisms by which brain stimulation modulates excitability of prefrontal cortical neurons.

Aims: Epilepsy affects more than 50 million peolple worldwide and requires reliable seizure detection systems to mitigate risks associated with unpredictable seizures. Existing machine learning frameworks are limited in generalizability, signal fidelity, and clinical translation, particularly when bridging invasive and non-invasive modalities. This study aims to develop a robust and generalizable seizure detection model capable of supporting cross-modal applicability.
