Identification of optimal site of G1 placement for median orthodromic palmar nerve conduction study.

Introduction: G1 electrode placement at the distal wrist crease during the median orthodromic palmar nerve conduction study (NCS) could result in a false negative study if compression is more proximal.

Methods: In this study we aimed to determine the effect of median G1 electrode placement on distal latencies and amplitudes. Methods Median orthodromic palmar NCS was performed with the G1 electrode at the wrist crease and 2 cm proximal, stimulating 8 cm distal to G1.

Pediatric anti-NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis.

Background: We report the clinical features and course of pediatric patients presenting with anti-N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis.

Methods: Single-center 4-year observational study of pediatric encephalitis associated with NMDA-R antibodies in the serum and/or the cerebrospinal fluid.

Results: Three girls with anti-NMDA-R encephalitis were identified.
