Objective: Intraoperative electrocorticography (ioECoG) during neurosurgery is influenced by anesthetics. In our center we stop the propofol to enable interpretation of ioECoG. We reported our clinical experience and evaluated awareness and hemodynamic changes during the propofol-free periods (PFP).

We previously demonstrated that diet supplementation with seaweed () prevented AD-related pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Here, we tested a lipid extract of seaweed () and a supercritical fluid (SCF) extract of that is free of excess inorganic arsenic. Diet supplementation with extract prevented cognitive deterioration in APPswePS1ΔE9 mice.

Background And Objectives: Tailoring epilepsy surgery using intraoperative electrocorticography (ioECoG) has been debated, and modest number of epilepsy surgery centers apply this diagnostic method. We assessed the current evidence to use ioECoG-tailored epilepsy surgery for improving postsurgical outcome.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for original studies reporting on ≥10 cases who underwent ioECoG-tailored surgery for epilepsy, with a follow-up of at least 6 months.
