Correlating Interictal Spikes with Sigma and Delta Dynamics during Non-Rapid-Eye-Movement-Sleep

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
Interictal spikes (IS) are one of the major hallmarks of epilepsy. Understanding the factors promoting or suppressing IS would increase our comprehension of epilepsy and possibly open new avenues for therapy. Sleep strongly influences epileptic activity,

Temporal Interference Stimulation of Centromedian‐Parafascicular Complex in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

Histopathological Evidence of Neurodegenerative Pathology in Epilepsy: A Systematic Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epilepsy affects > 50 million people worldwide and is associated with a disproportionate burden of cognitive impairment. Emerging evidence suggests that neurodegenerative proteinopathies, particularly hyperphosphorylated tau (p‐tau) and amyloid‐β (Aβ), may contribute to cognitive dysfunction in people with epilepsy (PWE), even in the absence ...

Effects of epilepsy surgery on quality of life: A controlled study in a Middle Eastern population [PDF]

, 2004
The purpose of this study was to investigate which areas of quality of life (QOL) change after epilepsy surgery and generate QOL data specific to the Lebanese population. The QOL of 20 consecutive patients 1 year after surgery was compared (using the ESI-

Anaesthesia for epilepsy surgery [PDF]

BJA Education, 2019
Epilepsy surgery encompasses a broad variety of surgeries, including resections of epileptogenic foci, disconnection surgeries and insertion of neuromodulation devices. The anaesthetist should understand the different types of ECoG and functional neuromonitoring that may be required and be familiar with how various anaesthetic agents can impact this ...

Long-Term Outcomes of Epilepsy Surgery: Knowledge Gaps and Future Directions [PDF]

, 2015
Although epilepsy surgery has long been recognized as an effective treatment for carefully selected adults and children, studies of long-term seizure control are relatively rare and studies of the wider aspects of surgical outcome are even more scarce ...

Development of Multifunctional Hierarchically Restructured Antibacterial Neural Interfacing Electrodes via Plasma‐Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation implantable neural‐interfacing devices are increasingly constrained by the coupled demands of electrode miniaturization, electrochemical performance, and implantation infection risk. Femtosecond laser–based hierarchical surface restructuring (HSR) technology has emerged as a scalable, manufacturing‐compatible platform for ...
