Bayesian Estimation Improves Prediction of Outcomes After Epilepsy Surgery

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimated the statistical power of studies predicting seizure freedom after epilepsy surgery. We extracted data from a Cochrane meta‐analysis. The median power across all studies was 14%. Studies with a median sample size or less (n ≤ 56) and a statistically significant result exaggerated the true effect size by a factor of 5.4, while the ...

Wearable hip-assist robot modulates cortical activation during gait in stroke patients: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Gait dysfunction is common in post-stroke patients as a result of impairment in cerebral gait mechanism. Powered robotic exoskeletons are promising tools to maximize neural recovery by delivering repetitive walking practice.

Stroke prevention

Neurology, 2019
Despite considerable advances to reduce the burden of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, these remain major causes of morbidity and mortality at the population level. Guidelines have delineated contributory causes for both stroke and coronary artery disease and have identified avenues for prevention.1,2 However, in spite of the clear need to ...

An Out‐of‐Place Etiology: Recognizing FMR1 Premutation in the Memory Clinic

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FMR1 gene premutation (55–200 CGG repeats) is usually associated with a wide range of symptoms and phenotypes within the Fragile X‐tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), but may also manifest as predominant or isolated cognitive decline. We describe three male patients referred for progressive cognitive impairment and behavioral changes. Standard

Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) in a Patient With Compound Heterozygous OPA1 Variants: Case Report and Literature Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.

Relationship between fitness and arterial stiffness according to hypertensive state

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2019
Background: There is a well-established relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and arterial stiffness. However, it is unclear whether this relationship differs significantly between hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients.
