Density Spectral Array EEG for Sleep Staging in Pediatric Patients.

Purpose: Sleep is an essential physiologic process, which is frequently disrupted in children with illness and/or injury. Accurate identification and quantification of sleep may provide insights to improve long-term clinical outcomes. Traditionally, however, the identification of sleep stages has relied on the resource-intensive and time-consuming gold standard polysomnogram.

Curriculum Innovation: Design and Implementation of Synchronous and Asynchronous Curricula to Enhance Residents' EEG Knowledge and Experience.

Introduction And Problem Statement: There is a need for structured EEG education opportunities to enhance neurology resident education. To address this need, the American Epilepsy Society (AES) supported the development and implementation of both synchronous and asynchronous EEG courses.

Objectives: To produce EEG curricula that enhance resident EEG learning, increase interest in EEG and improve participants' knowledge, and to ensure that courses were highly used and available to the broadest range of learners.

A Comparison of Automatically Extracted Quantitative EEG Features for Seizure Risk Stratification in Neonatal Encephalopathy.

Purpose: Seizures occur in up to 40% of neonates with neonatal encephalopathy. Earlier identification of seizures leads to more successful seizure treatment, but is often delayed because of limited availability of continuous EEG monitoring. Clinical variables poorly stratify seizure risk, and EEG use to stratify seizure risk has previously been limited by need for manual review and artifact exclusion.

Peripheral Retinal Haemorrhages in a Patient with MOG-Associated Optic Neuritis.

A 15-year-old female presented with headaches and bilateral vision loss. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral optic nerve oedema as well as peripheral retinal haemorrhages. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed findings consistent with bilateral optic neuritis.
