Intracarotid amobarbital disrupts synchronous and nested oscillatory activity ipsilateral to injection [PDF]

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2018
The mechanism of amobarbital action during the intracarotid amobarbital procedure is poorly understood. We report a patient case who underwent IAP while implanted with bilateral stereo-EEG.

A case report of a Wada test after dominant hemisphere multiple hippocampal transections: Pathophysiology of confusion after amobarbital injection

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2014
Dialepsis is defined as a predominant alteration of consciousness with preservation of motor tone and the ability to perform movements. While dialepsis is a common feature of both focal and generalized epilepsies, its precise symptomatogenic zone and ...

The intracarotid amobarbital procedure (Wada test) with two protocols combined, Montreal and Seattle Procedimentos do amobarbital intracarotideo (teste de Wada) com dois protocolos combinados, Montreal e Seattle [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1997
The intracarotid amobarbital procedure was carried out in 8 male and 7 female candidates to temporal lobectomy, and a female candidate to frontal lesionectomy, aged 18-50 (mean 32.5) years.

Successful Surgical Repair of Ventricular Septal Defect in a Child With Ocular Myasthenia Gravis and History of Myeloid Sarcoma Post-HSCT: A Multidisciplinary Approach. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT A 3 year‐old child with ocular myasthenia gravis and a history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation underwent successful ventricular septal defect repair through carefully coordinated multidisciplinary management. The tailored anesthetic approach and infection‐control strategy enabled smooth recovery without neuromuscular or immunologic ...

A critical review of high-frequency activity for functional mapping in SEEG. [PDF]

Epilepsia
Abstract Mapping functional brain networks is a critical component of stereo–electroencephalography (SEEG) evaluations. Although direct cortical stimulation (DCS) is the clinical gold standard, it has important limitations—particularly in mapping distributed, complex functions such as language and memory, where deficits may still occur despite ...

The Wada test with propofol in a patient with epilepsy [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2000
The usual drug used in the Wada test is amobarbital, but it is not available in Brazil. Propofol was already used by Bazin et al. in 1998, and in their report the test resulted good in the absence of any adverse effect.

National Prescribing Trends and Cost Analysis of Antidepressants, Anxiolytics, and Hypnotics in England, 2010-2023. [PDF]

Hum Psychopharmacol
ABSTRACT Introduction We describe prescribing of anxiolytics/hypnotics/antidepressants at an all‐England level between 2010 and 2023, taking account of the influence of the COVID‐19 pandemic‐period. Methods All Primary Care Prescribing data for England for anxiolytics/hypnotics/antidepressant agents taken as tablets or capsules from 1 January 2010 to ...

A Rapid fMRI Paradigm for Localisation of the Language Network. [PDF]

Eur J Neurosci
This study describes a succinct four‐task fMRI paradigm to identify the language network, which can be translated to intraoperative tasks during direct electrical stimulation. The results show it is feasible within a reasonable time duration, providing maximal information of the accepted dual‐stream language network.

Roles of fMRI and Wada tests in the presurgical evaluation of language functions in temporal lobe epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Surgical treatment of pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) carries risks for language function that can significantly affect the quality of life.

The lesioned brain: still a small world?

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
The intra-arterial amobarbital procedure (IAP or Wada test) is used to determine language lateralization and contralateral memory functioning in patients eligible for neurosurgery because of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.
