Neuromotor modules revealed by direct electrical stimulation of the human primary motor cortex

Muscle synergies extracted from multimuscle electromyographic (EMG) signals are widely interpreted as fundamental building blocks of motor control that coordinate groups of muscles during movement. Whether EMG-derived muscle synergies represent genuine neurally encoded modules or...

Cost utility analysis of two BK polyomavirus screening strategies: quantitative polymerase chain reaction vs 2-stage approach

Screening for BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or a 2-stage approach with urine cytology followed by qPCR are acceptable strategies. However, the magnitude of the health benefits and incremental cost of adopting these 2 screening strategi...

Trends and outcomes in massive primary postpartum haemorrhage and second-line therapy use: a retrospective study in a Hong Kong public hospital using the Hospital Authority electronic audit form

INTRODUCTION: Massive primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH; blood loss ≥1500 mL within 24 hours after delivery) is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Hong Kong. We compared the incidence, management strategies, and maternal outcomes of massive primary PPH across...
