Men and women seem to process emotions react them differently. Yet, few neurophysiological studies have systematically investigated gender differences in emotional processing. Here, we studied using Event Related Potentials (ERPs) Skin Conductance Responses (SCR) recorded from participants who passively viewed pictures selected the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). The arousal valence dimension of stimuli were manipulated orthogonally. peak amplitude latency ERP components SCR...
The present study investigates whether a combined cognitive and physical training may induce changes in the cortical activity as measured via electroencephalogram (EEG) this change index deceleration of pathological processes brain aging. Seventy seniors meeting clinical criteria mild impairment (MCI) were equally divided into 5 groups: 3 experimental groups engaged eight-week and/or 2 control active passive. A 5-minute long resting state EEG was before after intervention. Cortical sources...
Neuroscience is opening a new chapter of understanding in many fields. One such how advertising works. For the first time we can directly ‘see’ some effects advertisements on brain's activity. This article reports two small‐scale experiments into differential advertising's rational and emotional components. Advertising has long been seen as providing reasons to buy, however subtle. In academic research at least, importance emotion often downplayed. The preliminary experiment reported here...
We recorded the magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signal from three subjects before, during and after eye movements cued to a tone, self-paced, awake rapid movement (REM) sleep. During sleep we MEG throughout night together with electroencephalographic (EEG) electromyographic (EMG) channels construct hypnogram. While awake, just prior movements, expected well time-locked physiological activations were imaged in pontine regions, early 3 s priming. Activity frontal fields (FEF) was identified 300...
Magnetic field tomography (MFT) was used to extract estimates for distributed source activity from average and single trial MEG signals recorded while subjects identified objects (including faces) facial expressions of emotion.Regions interest (ROIs) were automatically the MFT solutions signal each subject.For one subject entire set obtained unaveraged data also compute simultaneous time series in different ROIs.Three pairs homologous areas hemisphere selected further analysis: posterior...
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to identify brain mechanisms underlying the well-documented facial affect recognition deficit in patients with schizophrenia. Since this is stable over course of illness and relatively specific for schizophrenic disorders, it was expected that knowledge about related would provide substantial information pathophysiology illness. METHOD: Fifteen partly remitted inpatients 12 healthy volunteers categorized expressions emotion performed two control tasks while...
Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) represent a challenging complication following surgical mitral valve replacement, particularly in patients with connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome. This report presents the case of 32-year-old female syndrome who presented progressive dyspnea and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-III symptoms 10 years post-mitral replacement for severe regurgitation. Transthoracic transesophageal echocardiography identified an 8 × 9 mm...
Structured Abstract Background Combined M- and T-TEER typically involves two separate systems, complicating logistics increasing procedural risks. This study aims to evaluate the safety efficacy of combined mitral (M-TEER) tricuspid (T-TEER) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using a single TriClip® steerable guide catheter (SGC). Methods Patients with moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) degenerative (DMR) functional (FMR) regurgitation massive/torrential (TR), classified as New York Heart...
<title>Abstract</title> Background: Superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis is a rare but serious complication following surgical repair of congenital heart defects, often resulting in significant venous congestion, facial and upper extremity swelling, increased pressures, impaired hemodynamics. Surgical re-intervention carries substantial risks, whereas percutaneous stenting offers minimally invasive effective alternative. Case presentation: We present two cases symptomatic SVC defect repair....
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a proven treatment for severe stenosis (AS). Transfemoral access the most prevalent method, achieved either surgically or percutaneously. This study compares in-hospital outcomes and length of stay between surgical cut-down fully percutaneous approaches. retrospective, propensity-matched analyzed medical records all patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR at our center from January 2019 to December 2023. Outcomes were assessed based on Valve...
