EEG alpha/beta features as a biomarker for quantifying pain in patients with lumbar disk herniation by Rumei Li, Wanqi Shao, Shumei Zhao, Lingli Wang, Chao Yu, Lanying Liu, Kuiying Yin

“…Significance tests were conducted within the LDH group and between the LDH and healthy controls, as well as correlation analyses of EEG characteristics with pain scales in four regions of interest.ResultsA significant reduction in subjective pain intensity was observed after small needle knife, with a 32.86 and 38.41% reduction in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) scores, respectively. Alpha accounted for a significantly higher of the four regions, while theta in the frontal, occipital and beta in the central were significantly lower. …”

Gyrfalcon Prey Abundance and Their Habitat Associations in a Changing Arctic by Michaela Gustafson, Jennifer D. McCabe, Brian W. Rolek, Travis L. Booms, Michael T. Henderson, Leah Dunn, David L. Anderson, Jennyffer Cruz

“…We aimed to determine the habitat–abundance relationships for three small herbivores on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, USA by fitting data from 983 point counts (collected during 2019, 2021, and 2022) with N‐mixture models that account for imperfect detection. These herbivore species, Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus), Rock Ptarmigan (L. muta), and Arctic ground squirrels (Urocitellus parryii), are fundamental to tundra food webs, and primary prey for Arctic raptors including Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus). …”

Phytophthora: an ancient, historic, biologically and structurally cohesive and evolutionarily successful generic concept in need of preservation by Clive Brasier, Bruno Scanu, David Cooke, Thomas Jung
