Spike detection in the wild: Screening of suspected temporal lobe epilepsy cases using a tailored 2‐channel wearable EEG

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To clinically validate the contribution of a custom‐built EEG wearable device (waEEG) compared to a full 10–20 electrode array ambulatory EEG (aEEG) for screening epilepsy cases in patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) but negative routine EEGs. Methods Patients (aged 16–91 years) with clinically suspected TLE who were

Efficacy of phenobarbital is maintained after exposure to mild‐to‐moderate seizures in neonates

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract To study the relationship between the delay in treatment and the efficacy of phenobarbital in neonates, we re‐analyzed data from the NEOLEV2 study. Continuous video EEG (cEEG) from patients treated with phenobarbital was reviewed by neurophysiologists who marked each seizure.

Prolonged shedding of SARS-CoV-2 at high viral load amongst hospitalised immunocompromised persons living with HIV in South Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: There is limited information on SARS-CoV-2 shedding duration amongst persons living with HIV (PLWH). We hypothesised that PLWH shed SARS-CoV-2 for longer periods and at higher viral load than HIV-uninfected persons. Methods & Materials: From

Drug delivery pathways to the central nervous system via the brain glymphatic system circumventing the blood‐brain barrier

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
The discovery of the glymphatic system has opened up a pathway for drug delivery to the brain by circumventing the blood‐brain barrier, which can effectively improve drug utilization. The methods of drug delivery through the glymphatic system include intrathecal injection, intranasal injection, and delivery through the meningeal lymphatic vessels.
