Article Abstract
Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an invasive treatment option for patients with Parkinson's disease. Recently, adaptive DBS (aDBS) systems have been developed, which adjust stimulation timing and amplitude in real-time. However, it is unknown how changes in parameters, movement states and the controllability of subthalamic beta activity affect aDBS performance.
Objective: To characterize how parameter choice, movement state and controllability interactively affect the electrophysiological and behavioral response to single threshold aDBS.
Methods: We recorded subthalamic local field potentials in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease receiving single threshold aDBS in the acute post-operative state. We investigated changes in two aDBS parameters: the onset time and the smoothing of real-time beta power. Electrophysiological patterns and motor performance were assessed while patients were at rest and during a simple motor task. We further studied the impact of controllability on aDBS performance by comparing patients with and without beta power modulation during continuous stimulation.
Results: Our findings reveal that changes in the onset time control the extent of beta power suppression achievable with single threshold adaptive stimulation during rest. Behavioral data indicate that only specific parameter combinations yield a beneficial effect of single threshold aDBS. During movement, action induced beta power suppression reduces the responsivity of the closed loop algorithm. We further demonstrate that controllability of beta power is a prerequisite for effective parameter dependent modulation of subthalamic beta activity.
Conclusion: Our results highlight the interaction between single threshold aDBS parameter selection, movement state and controllability in driving subthalamic beta activity and motor performance. By this means, we identify directions for the further development of closed-loop DBS algorithms.

Background: A clear understanding of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) is essential for effectively implementing patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) as a performance measure for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since not achieving MCID and SCB may reflect suboptimal surgical benefit, the primary aim of this study was to use machine learning to predict patients who may not achieve the threshold-based outcomes (i.e.

Introduction: High intrarenal pressures (IRP) during mini-PCNL have been postulated to result in increased postoperative pain but no studies have evaluated this to our knowledge. We sought to determine if there is a correlation between IRP and immediate postoperative pain when using different tract sizes.
Methods: Patients were enrolled and assigned for standard (s-PCNL, 24fr), suctioning-mini (sm-PCNL, 16fr) and non-suctioning-mini (nsm-PCNL, 17.

Large language models (LLMs) have been successfully used for data extraction from free-text radiology reports. Most current studies were conducted with LLMs accessed via an application programming interface (API). We evaluated the feasibility of using open-source LLMs, deployed on limited local hardware resources for data extraction from free-text mammography reports, using a common data element (CDE)-based structure.

Purpose: Accurate prediction of human clearance (CL) is essential in early drug development. Single Species Scaling (SSS) using rat pharmacokinetic (PK) data, particularly with unbound plasma fraction (f), is widely used. However, its accuracy declines for compounds with extremely low f, and no systematic method has addressed this limitation.

Objective: Rigid suction-coagulation probes constrain the wrist-like articulation that is central to robotic surgery. We therefore designed a 5-mm single-use flexible suction ball coagulator (flex-SBC) with a modified core design to restore dexterity and assessed its mechanical performance and early clinical feasibility, including the effect of the common robotic gripping strategies on suction flow.
Methods: Preclinical.
