Purpose: Evaluate the bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to detect delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
Materials And Methods: A single-center prospective study in patients with aSAH. BIS monitoring was recorded during 25-120 min in two periods, within the initial 72 h (BIS1) and between days 4 and 6 (BIS2) from admission.
Objective We describe the clinical, electroencephalograph^ and neuroimaging findings of older patients with typical absence status epilepticus (ASE). Methods This investigation was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected consecutive patients between January 2011 and October 2021. All patients ≥60 years with impairment of awareness and continuous generalized, rhythmic, synchronous and symmetric epileptiform discharges and normal background on video-electroencephalogram (vEEG) were included.

However, the incidence and risk factors, specifically regarding surgical techniques, have not been adequately studied.
Methods: We conducted a prospective single-center study over 4-years, in recipients of lung transplantation with a normal pretransplant phrenic nerve conduction study (PNCS).
Objectives: Using recent optimized electrodiagnostic criteria sets, we primarily aimed at verifying the accuracy of the initial electrophysiological test in very early Guillain-Barré syndrome (VEGBS), ≤4 days of onset, compared with the results of serial electrophysiology. Our secondary objective was to correlate early electrophysiological results with sonographic nerve changes.
Methods: This is a retrospective study based on consecutive VEGBS patients admitted to the hospital.
