Objective: Assessment of the value of review of home videos by a pediatric multidisciplinary team (MDT) in a pediatric neurophysiology department.
Methods: We describe and evaluate the review of home videos alongside clinical history and previous investigations from patients referred to the Evelina pediatric EEG department at a twice-monthly MDT meeting between 01/2021 and 09/2022. We retrospectively analyzed measures of video quality, quantity and duration, time taken from referral to MDT meeting, pre-MDT and post-MDT meeting proposed diagnosis and clinical outcomes.
Objective: Novel subcutaneous electroencephalography (sqEEG) systems enable prolonged, near-continuous cerebral monitoring in real-world conditions. Nevertheless, the feasibility, acceptability and overall clinical utility of these systems remains unclear. We report on the longest observational study using ultra long-term sqEEG to date.

- - Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD) involves neurological-like symptoms without a clear neurological cause, and the mechanisms behind it are complex and not fully understood.
- - A study tested the use of remote monitoring technologies (RMT) on 17 individuals with FNS and 17 healthy controls to track symptoms, daily events, and physiological data, finding that those with FNS reported higher levels of negative emotions, pain, and sleep issues.
- - Results indicate that daily stressors and negative feelings significantly impact FNS severity, suggesting that addressing emotional responses could help those with FNS, and calls for larger studies to explore these findings further.
Article Synopsis
- * CKD cats showed significantly lower levels of the bile acid ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in their feces compared to healthy cats, indicating a potential link between bile acid metabolism and kidney disease.
- * The research found distinct differences in the gut microbiota between CKD cats with low and high levels of SBAs, suggesting that gut health may play an important role in the progression of CKD in felines.
Objectives: Urine specific gravity (USG) is the most common method for the estimation of urine concentration in cats. Utilization of USG as a screening tool is easily accessible and is of low cost to the client if strategically utilized in settings of higher diagnostic value. There is currently minimal population information regarding how USG changes across ages in cats.
