Postictal generalized electroencephalographic suppression following electroconvulsive therapy: Temporal characteristics and impact of anesthetic regimen.

Objective: Postictal generalized electroencephalographic suppression (PGES) has been defined as electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of less than 10 microvolts following a generalized seizure. PGES is associated with an increased risk of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, as well as treatment efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We investigated the impact of anesthetic on PGES expression and temporal characteristics.

Urinary retention rates after intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA injection for idiopathic overactive bladder in clinical practice and predictors of this outcome.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to find the rate of urinary retention in clinical practice after treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA (BTN/A) for refractory overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and determine factors that predict this outcome.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of BTN/A for treatment of non-neurogenic, refractory OAB symptoms. Patients were analyzed with respect to their first and second BTN/A injections.
