Informational predictability, and an application to the intensity of high-resolution temporal rainfall
Abstract
In an effort to solidly define predictability, and the estimation thereof, in different processes, and considering the interpretation of mutual information as an expected value of the logarithm of joint probability, we show that, in the light of causality, the expected value of the logarithm of conditional probability fulfills the desirable properties of a predictability descriptor. An application to high-resolution rainfall intensity time series is presented.
Neuropathic Pain and Positive Sensory Symptoms in Brachial Plexus Neuropathy: An Exploratory Study of Outcomes after Surgical Decompression and Proposal of a New Sensory Frequency of Symptoms Scale
Abstract
There are no articles that aim to evaluate the specific role of surgical decompression on the recovery of pain and positive sensory symptoms (PSS) in patients with brachial plexus neuropathy (BPN), as well as the relationship between pain and frequency of sensory manifestations.
Comparison of microvascular decompression, percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy, and stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia: A long term quasi-experimental study
Abstract
Microvascular decompression (MVD), radiofrequency rhizotomy (RFR), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are surgical techniques frequently used in the treatment of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (TN), although the results reported for each of these are diverse.
Prognostic factors of unilateral prelemniscal radiations radiofrequency lesions: A surgical technique for the treatment of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms
Abstract
A group of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) were managed with unilateral prelemniscal radiation radiofrequency lesions (U-Raprl). The current study aims to evaluate prognostic factors that could influence clinical response.
Minimally Invasive Retrosigmoidal Parasterional Burr-Hole Approach: Technique and Neuropathic Pain Amelioration after Microvascular Decompression of the Trigeminal Nerve
Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia, a common condition in clinical practice, often occurs due to vascular compression caused by aberrant or ectopic arterial or venous vessels. Microvascular decompression through a minimally invasive retrosigmoidal approach has shown high rates of pain control, low complication rates, and excellent therapeutic results.
Rate of residual neuromuscular block using single-dose rocuronium in general anesthesia for ENT surgery: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract
NMB facilitates intubating conditions in general anesthesia. However, it is associated with significant residual postoperative paralysis and morbidity. To investigate the rate of underdiagnosed residual NMB based on two TOFR criteria (< 0.91 and < 1.00).
