Cognitive behavioral therapy in adults with functional seizures: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Background: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) investigating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) among adults with functional seizures (FS) have become increasingly available, prompting the opportunity to critically appraise the efficacy and safety of CBT in this population. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis including RCTs comparing CBT in addition to standardized medical treatment (SMT) versus SMT alone for adults with FS. The primary outcome was seizure freedom at the end of treatment. Secondary outcomes included measures of quality of life, anxiety and depression assessed via standardized clinical questionnaires. Results: Three RCTs were included comprising 228 participants treated with CBT and 222 with SMT. The intervention was significantly associated with seizure freedom (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.98; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.14, 3.46; p = 0.02; I2 = 0 %), reductions in anxiety (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.21; 95 % CI -0.41, -0.003; p = 0.047; I2 = 0 %) and improvements in quality of life (SMD 0.34; 95 % CI 0.12, 0.57; p = 0.003; I2 = 0 %) at the end of treatment. Conversely, no significant differences between groups were observed in depression symptoms (SMD -0.19; 95 % CI -0.39, 0.02; p = 0.08; I2 = 0 %). There was no statistically significant increase in the risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm with CBT (OR 2.11; 95 % CI 0.81, 5.48; p = 0.13; I2 = 0 %) nor were there differences in terms of discontinuation rates during follow-up (OR 0.92; 95 % CI 0.49, 1.72; p = 0.79; I2 = 7 %). Conclusions: There is high-quality evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of CBT in treating FS. Future research should investigate whether combining CBT with other therapeutic methods could potentially enhance treatment efficacy
Crustal Magmatic System Evolution: Anatomy, Architecture, and Physico‐Chemical Processes
(Table 2) Pukeonake plagioclase, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine and oxide mineral compositions
Oxygen isotope compositions determined by laser fluorination (see main text for analytical methods). Numbering of minerals denotes similar crystals. Values of 0.00 are below limits of detection. Major elements measurement below detection limit = #, empty cells = not detected. Empty cells in number of ion columns = not calculated. See main text in Beier et al. (2017) for analytical details
Extending XNAT towards a Cloud-Based Quality Assessment Platform for Retinal Optical Coherence Tomographies
(Table 1) Pukeonake whole rock, glass and glass inclusion compositions
Matrix glasses and glass inclusion major elements were measured by electron microprobe, whole rock major elements were determined by XRF and whole rock trace element analyses were analysed by solution ICP-MS (see main text in Beier et al. (2017) for analytical methods). Trace element concentrations marked with # were determined by XRF. Major elements are given in [wt.%], trace elements originally given in [ppm], here as [mg/kg]
Extending XNAT towards a Cloud-based Quality Assessment Platform for Retinal Optical Coherence Tomographies
Neuroscientific research is increasingly based on image analysis methods. Among them, optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for non-invasive visualisation of anatomical structures on a micrometer scale. The platform presented in this paper is designed for automatic quality assessment of retinal OCTs. It extends the image management platform XNAT by services to calculate and store quality measures. It is also extensible regarding new quality measure algorithms, allowing the developer to upload, compile and test code for the system's architecture. The processing tools are provided as a cloud-based service employing OpenStack. Different approaches using fully equipped virtual machines and Docker containers are investigated and compared regarding security and performance aspects
