Rationale: Seizure induction techniques are used in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) to increase diagnostic yield and reduce length of stay. There are insufficient data on the efficacy of alcohol as an induction technique.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using six years of EMU data at our institution.
Background And Objective: Little is known about trajectories of recovery 12 months after hospitalization for severe COVID-19.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of patients with and without neurologic complications during index hospitalization for COVID-19 from March 10, 2020, to May 20, 2020. Phone follow-up batteries were performed at 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 onset.
Background: The association between race and ethnicity and microvascular disease in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. We hypothesized that social determinants of health (SDOHs) mediate the relationship between race and ethnicity and severity of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and microbleeds in patients with ICH.
Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with ICH at two tertiary care hospitals between 2013 and 2020 who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze the long-term outcomes, specifically 6-month results, of patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19, particularly focusing on those who experienced neurological complications during their stay.
- Out of 606 patients with neurological issues, 395 survived and were compared to a matched group without such complications; results showed that 91% had at least one abnormal outcome six months later, including difficulties with daily activities, cognition, and mental health.
- Patients with neurological complications had worse functional outcomes, indicating they were less likely to return to normal activities and had greater impairments compared to the control group, highlighting the severe impact of neurological issues following COVID-19 hospitalization.
Seizure clusters, an intermediate between single seizure and status epilepticus, are associated with morbidity, impaired quality of life, and premature mortality. The relationship between seizure clusters and sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is poorly understood. Here, we define seizure clusters; review comorbid psychiatric disorders and memory deficits associated with seizure clusters; and review cases of witnessed SUDEP for which seizure frequency prior to death is available.

After early cases resulted in profound amnesia, the critical role of the hippocampus and associated medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures to declarative memory became evident. Surgical approaches quickly changed to become unilateral and later, to be more precise, potentially reducing cognitive morbidity.
