Out-of-hospital multimodal seizure detection: a pilot study.

Background: Out-of-hospital seizure detection aims to provide clinicians and patients with objective seizure documentation in efforts to improve the clinical management of epilepsy. In-patient studies have found that combining different modalities helps improve the seizure detection accuracy. In this study, the objective was to evaluate the viability of out-of-hospital seizure detection using wearable ECG, accelerometry and behind-the-ear electroencephalography (EEG).

Lyme neuroborreliosis presenting with urinary retention and spastic paraparesis.

Progressive myelopathy, urinary retention and gait problems are rare presenting features of Lyme neuroborreliosis. A 30-year-old man had 11 months of urinary retention and 3 months of spastic paraparesis. MR scans of the brain and the spinal cord showed leptomeningeal thickening with contrast enhancement.

Systematic Review of EEG Coherence in Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Magnitude-squared coherence (MSCOH) is an electroencephalography (EEG) measure of functional connectivity. MSCOH has been widely applied to investigate pathological changes in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, significant heterogeneity exists between the studies using MSOCH.

Corticomuscular coherence in the acute and subacute phase after stroke.

Objective: Stroke is one of the leading causes of physical disability due to damage of the motor cortex or the corticospinal tract. In the present study we set out to investigate the role of adaptations in the corticospinal pathway for motor recovery during the subacute phase after stroke.

Methods: We examined 19 patients with clinically diagnosed stroke and 18 controls.
