Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of prescription and knowledge about new therapies by physicians who treat AD patients in Argentina.

Triphasic waves and brain atrophy in patients with acute encephalopathy.

Introduction: Triphasic waves (TW) constitute an electroencephalographic pattern associated with certain kinds of encephalopathy. Brain atrophy may be a predisposing factor linked with TW.

Objective: To compare the degree of brain atrophy and white matter disease between patients with acute encephalopathy with and without TW.

[Recommendations For The Management Of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage During Hospitalization].

Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in people over 40 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death in Argentina. In the last ten years, the indexed publications related to the treatment of ischemic stroke were more numerous than those of hemorrhagic stroke. The objective of this material is to provide local and updated recommendations for the management of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization.

[Identification of restless legs syndrome in polysomnography studies and its association with other variables].

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a movement disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs in response to an unpleasant sensation. The coexistence of RLS and other sleep and mood disorders may require adjustment in the therapeutic strategy. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of RLS in adults studied with polysomnography and to evaluate its association with other sleep and mood disorders.

Discharges With Triphasic Morphology as Marker of the Risk of Death in Acute Encephalopathy.

. In clinical practice, it is difficult to define the prognosis of patients with acute encephalopathy; a syndrome characterized by cognitive dysfunction and altered sensorium. Discharges with triphasic morphology (DTM) are an electroencephalographic pattern that might be useful to establish the risk of death.
