Multimodal Assessment of the Origin of Myoclonus in Lance-Adams Syndrome.

Background And Objectives: Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS), or chronic posthypoxic myoclonus, is a long-term disabling neurologic disorder occurring in survivors of anoxia. The cortical or subcortical origin of this myoclonus is unclear. We aimed to identify the neuroanatomical origin of myoclonus in LAS.

Association of Sepsis With Neurologic Outcomes of Adult Patients Treated With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygnenation.

Objectives: Neurologic outcomes of patients under venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) may be worsened by secondary insults of systemic origin. We aimed to assess whether sepsis, commonly observed during ECMO support, is associated with brain injury and outcomes.

Design: Single-center cohort study of the "exposed-non-exposed" type on consecutive adult patients treated by VA-ECMO.

Electroencephalography for prognostication of outcome in adults with severe herpes simplex encephalitis.

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is recommended for the practical approach to the diagnosis and prognosis of encephalitis. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of standard EEG (EEG) in adult patients with severe herpes simplex encephalitis.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive ICU patients with severe herpes simplex encephalitis in 38 French centers between 2006 and 2016.

A Simplified Electroencephalography Montage and Interpretation for Evaluation of Comatose Patients in the ICU.

Unlabelled: Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the main tools for diagnosis and prognostication of encephalopathy. Our two objectives were to assess: 1) the reliability of intensivists' interpretations (one trained intensivist and nonexpert intensivists) on specific EEG patterns and 2) the feasibility of performing simplified EEG by a trained intensivist in ICU.

Design: Prospective, single-center study.
