ABSTRACT Objective Post‐discharge management and outcomes of acute symptomatic seizures (ASyS) remain underexplored. We analyzed post‐discharge ASM management and outcomes in ASyS patients undergoing continuous EEG (cEEG), including the role of outpatient care through a post‐acute symptomatic seizure (PASS) clinic. Methods We performed a single‐center,

Stem cell transplantation in neurological diseases: improving effectiveness in animal models.
Neurological diseases afflict a growing proportion of the human population. There are two reasons for this: first, the average age of the population (especially in the industrialised world) is increasing, and second, the diagnostic tools to detect these ...

Computational neurology: Computational modeling approaches in dementia [PDF]
Dementia is a collection of symptoms associated with impaired cognition and impedes everyday normal functioning. Dementia, with Alzheimer's disease constituting its most common type, is highly complex in terms of etiology and pathophysiology. A more quantitative or computational attitude towards dementia research, or more generally in neurology, is ...

Neurological Prognostication of Post-Cardiac-Arrest Coma Patients Using EEG Data: A Dynamic Survival Analysis Framework with Competing Risks [PDF]
Patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest who enter a coma are at high risk of death. Forecasting neurological outcomes of these patients (the task of neurological prognostication) could help with treatment decisions. In this paper, we propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first dynamic framework for neurological prognostication of post-cardiac ...

Role of the Calcium Plateau in the Neuronal Injury and Behavioral Morbidities Following Organophosphate Intoxication [PDF]
Organophosphate (OP) chemicals include nerve agents and pesticides, and there is a growing concern of OP based chemical attacks against civilians. Current antidotes are essential in limiting immediate mortality associated with OP exposure.

Modelling activities at a neurological rehabilitation unit [PDF]
A queuing model of a specialist neurological rehabilitation unit is studied. The application is to the Neurological Rehabilitation Centre at Rookwood Hospital (Cardiff, UK), the national rehabilitation unit for Wales. Due to high demand this 21-bed inpatient facility is nearly always at maximum occupancy, and with a significant bed-cost per day this ...

Correspondence of MRI and nTMS With EDSS in Multiple Sclerosis: Longitudinal Follow‐Up Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Considering the characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease and its impact on motor disability, this study aims to assess the functional integrity of the corticospinal tract by examining motor evoked potentials (MEPs), Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion counts, and ...

A New Statistical Model of Electroencephalogram Noise Spectra for Real-time Brain-Computer Interfaces [PDF]
$Objective$: A characteristic of neurological signal processing is high levels of noise from sub-cellular ion channels up to whole-brain processes. In this paper, we propose a new model of electroencephalogram (EEG) background periodograms, based on a family of functions which we call generalized van der Ziel--McWhorter (GVZM) power spectral densities (

Scalable Machine Learning Architecture for Neonatal Seizure Detection on Ultra-Edge Devices [PDF]
Neonatal seizures are a commonly encountered neurological condition. They are the first clinical signs of a serious neurological disorder. Thus, rapid recognition and treatment are necessary to prevent serious fatalities. The use of electroencephalography (EEG) in the field of neurology allows precise diagnosis of several medical conditions.

Long-term exposure to methylmercury and psychiatric symptoms in residents of Minamata, Japan [PDF]
Introduction: It is well-known that prenatal or postnatal exposure to methylmercury can produce neurological signs in adults and children, exemplified by a case of large-scale poisoning in Minamata, Japan, in the 1950s.
