First-in-human prediction of chronic pain state using intracranial neural biomarkers

May 22, 2023Chronic pain syndromes are often refractory to treatment and cause substantial suffering and disability. Pain severity is often measured through subjective report, while objective biomarkers that may guide diagnosis and treatment are lacking. Four individuals with refractory neuropathic pain were implanted with chronic intracranial electrodes in the anterior cingulate cortex and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). We successfully predicted intraindividual chronic pain severity scores from neural activity with high sensitivity using machine learning methods.

High-power chargers for electric vehicles are safe for patients with pacemakers and defibrillators

April 17, 2023Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales and use are rapidly expanding. Battery electric vehicles, along with their charging stations, are a potential source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). The new ‘high-power’ charging stations have the potential to create strong electromagnetic fields and induce EMI in CIEDs, and their safety has not been evaluated. Conclusions The use of electric cars with high-power chargers by patients with cardiac devices appears to be safe with no evidence of clinically relevant EMI. Reasonable caution, by minimizing the time spent in close proximity with the charging cables, is still advised as the occurrence of very rare events cannot be excluded from our results.
