Objective/background: This study investigated fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness to determine which was more closely related to depression in the general population.
Patients/methods: Participants were investigated across 15 South Korean districts. Excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and depression were evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), respectively.
Weight Change Is Associated with Osteoporosis: A Cross Sectional Study Using the Korean Community Health Survey.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
December 2021
Unlabelled: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the associations between weight change and osteoporosis in Korean adults.
Methods: Data from the 2016 Korean Community Health Survey were analyzed. A total of 159,741 participants who were ≥40 years of age were included.
Objective/background: Studies focusing on insomnia in adolescents are relatively scarce compared to those on excessive daytime sleepiness. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of insomnia symptoms and associated factors in Korean high school students.
Patients/methods: A total of 8565 students (girls: 4104) were investigated nationwide, across 15 South Korean districts using an online self-report questionnaire.
Objective: To compare electroencephalography (EEG) recordings with nasopharyngeal electrodes (NPEs) plus anterior temporal electrodes (ATEs) (NPE recordings) and those with only ATEs (non-NPE recordings) for the detection of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the initial EEGs of 229 patients that were recorded simultaneously with ATEs and NPEs in addition to the electrodes of the 10-20 system of electrode placement. Two data sets of NPE and non-NPE recordings were reviewed independently by three interpreters with differing degrees of experience.
Background: Antiepileptic drug (AED) induced dyskinesia is an unusual manifestation in the medical field. In the previous case reports describing first generation-AED related involuntary movements, the authors suggested that a plausible cause is pharmacokinetic interactions between two or more AEDs. To date, development of dyskinesia after levetiracetam (LEV) has not been reported.

- * Analyzing 26 patients with IC infarction revealed that bulbar symptoms were associated with infarctions extending into the posterior limb, while those limited to the genu did not present symptoms.
- * Diffusion tensor imaging showed that the corticobulbar tract does not traverse the IC genu, suggesting its pathway is located beyond the midpoint of the posterior limb of the IC.
