Revisiting the concept that interictal implies asymptomatic: Pulse wave amplitude drops uncover autonomic responses during generalized paroxysmal fast activities

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activities are generally considered asymptomatic. Pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) is a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity linked to cardiovascular risk. Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a major EEG pattern in different epileptic conditions.

Programming of deep brain stimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus for drug‐resistant epilepsy: A meta‐analysis and proposed programming framework

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM) is an increasingly considered deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), there is significant variability in programming practices, which may contribute to heterogenous outcomes.

Anomalous intrathoracic left vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerve course.

, 2008
An anomalous course of the vagus nerve is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. We report the case of a 59-year-old man who had left lung cancer. We performed a left upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy, paying attention to the pathway of the ...

Reasons for not reoperating and outcomes of reoperation after seizure recurrence in pediatric epilepsy surgery: A population‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an established and effective treatment for children with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Although the majority of patients become seizure‐free postoperatively, 20%–40% experience seizure recurrence. Although repeat surgery can achieve seizure freedom in selected cases, the reasons children with seizure recurrence do not ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

The first Russian experience of vagus nerve stimulation in treatment-resistant protracted depressions

Обозрение психиатрии и медицинской психологии имени В.М. Бехтерева, 2018
In the offered work the problem of treatment of resistant depressive frustration is analyzed by modern methods of neuromodulation. Value and a role, in this process, stimulation of the vagus nerve (VNS) is considered. Efficiency of application of a vagus

Transverse cross-sectional image of the vagus nerve by carotid ultrasound.

The vagus nerve is shown as a small, rounded, hypoechoic structure between the carotid artery and jugular vein. The cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve was measured by manual tracing along the medial side of the hyperechoic epineural rim.
