Objectives: Seizures and status epilepticus (SE) are frequent complications of acute subdural hematoma (aSDH) associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether invasive subdural electroencephalogram recording leads to earlier seizure detection and treatment initiation in patients with aSDH.

Design: Prospective, single-center, cohort trial.

Article Synopsis
  • * A systematic search identified three suitable CTG guidelines and two best practice guidelines for methods, which were evaluated with a structured consensus approach involving professional societies.
  • * The conclusion indicates that neither antepartum Doppler sonography nor CTG should be performed in low-risk cohorts during antenatal care, and the findings will be published in official professional journals.

Objective: The phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of adult patients with epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID) is less clear than in children. We investigated an adult patient cohort to further elucidate this and inform the genetic testing approach.

Methods: Fifty-two adult patients (30 male, 22 female) with epilepsy, at least mild ID and no known genetic or acquired cause were included and phenotyped.

Preterm birth is defined as a live birth before 37 weeks of gestation and is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of hexoprenaline and atosiban for short- and long-term tocolysis and their effects on neonatal and maternal outcomes. This retrospective cohort study included women with threatened preterm labor between 24 + 0 and 34 + 0 weeks of gestation without premature rupture of membranes.
