Heart rate and EEG gamma band connectivity in the ventral attention network during emotional movie stimulation in women with high emotion dysregulation by Francesca Fusina, Marco Marino, Alessandro Angrilli

“…Both the High Dysregulation (HD) and Low Dysregulation (LD) groups watched 18 validated video-clips divided in 6 different emotional categories (Erotic, Scenery, Neutral, Sadness, Compassion and Fear) while EEG from 64 electrodes and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Focusing on alpha and gamma EEG rhythms, the connectivity within the VAN network and between VAN and other five relevant networks (DAN, DMN, LN, SMN, VN) was computed and then correlated with the heart rate.ResultsResults showed a different pattern of HR-Network-connectivity correlation in the two groups. …”

Robot assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy using indocyanine green combined with carbon nanoparticles staining improved detection rates in breast cancer by Qinbo Wang, Qingyu Yang, Zuxiao Chen, Zongyan Li, Xiaoyan Fu, Yunxiang Luo, Yonghai Guo, Haiyan Li

“…Notably, CNSI staining was negative in two cases within the ICG + CNSI group, while one patient exhibited a false-negative staining pattern. Five instances of effusion and one case involving bleeding were reported; no significant differences emerged concerning postoperative complications, including breast drainage or hospital stay length, significant differences arose within numerical pain rating scale scores when comparing robot-assisted SLN biopsy positive versus negative groups (p = 0.021 < 0.05). …”
