Analysis of individual alpha frequency in a large cohort from a tertiary memory center.

Background And Purpose: Precise and timely diagnosis is crucial for the optimal use of emerging disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer disease (AD). Electroencephalography (EEG), which is noninvasive and cost-effective, can capture neural abnormalities linked to various dementias. This study explores the use of individual alpha frequency (IAF) derived from EEG as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in cognitively impaired patients.

Predictors of seizure detection and EEG clinical impact in an italian tertiary emergency department.

Background And Objectives: Epileptic seizures pose challenges in emergency departments (ED), affecting up to 10% of admitted patients. This study aimed to assess emergency electroencephalogram (EmEEG) utilization, identifying factors predicting seizure detection and its influence on clinical decisions.

Methods: A retrospective review of 1135 EmEEGs on 1017 patients at a tertiary teaching hospital between June 2022 and June 2023 was conducted.

EEG Correlates in the 3 Variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia.

Background And Objectives: The 3 clinical presentations of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) reflect heterogenous neuropathology, which is difficult to be recognized in vivo. Resting-state (RS) EEG is promising for the investigation of brain electrical substrates in neurodegenerative conditions. In this study, we aim to explore EEG cortical sources in the characterization of the 3 variants of PPA.

Cognitive, EEG, and MRI features of COVID-19 survivors: a 10-month study.

Background And Objectives: To explore cognitive, EEG, and MRI features in COVID-19 survivors up to 10 months after hospital discharge.

Methods: Adult patients with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19 and reporting subsequent cognitive complaints underwent neuropsychological assessment and 19-channel-EEG within 2 months (baseline, N = 49) and 10 months (follow-up, N = 33) after hospital discharge. A brain MRI was obtained for 36 patients at baseline.

Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery can provide real-time feedback for strategic decision making.

Objectives: Despite the introduction of several adjuncts to improve spinal perfusion, spinal cord ischemia (SCI) remains a devastating complication of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. Our aim was to assess the effects on clinical outcome of interventions triggered by motor evoked potentials (MEP) alerts. Furthermore, we want to assess whether a multimodal intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) protocol is helpful for stratifying patients according to the risk of SCI at the end of the vascular phase of surgery.
