Sensitivity of detecting interictal epileptiform activity using rapid reduced montage EEG.

Objective: Rapid EEG devices (REDs) have demonstrated substantial benefit regarding reduced time to performance of study and diagnosis in cases where urgent EEG is needed to evaluate patients for potentially revealing nonconvulsive status epilepticus and seizures. However, urgent EEG is also important in identifying cases regarding the need for initiation of antiseizure medication as well as triaging the use of continuous EEG monitoring. Some forms of REDs have a reduced montage (RRME) with electrode derivations that are one-half of standard recordings.

Advancing Neurocritical Care with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: The Promise, Practicalities, and Pitfalls ahead.

Expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of medicine is changing the paradigm of clinical practice at a rapid pace. Incorporation of AI in medicine offers new tools as well as challenges, and physicians and learners need to adapt to assimilate AI into practice and education. AI can expedite early diagnosis and intervention with real-time multimodal monitoring.

Anatomical analysis of vertebral arteries in vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia: A multi-center study.

Background: Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare disease with significant morbidity. Its propensity for posterior circulation and relationship with aneurysms is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to describe the anatomical characteristics of the vertebral arteries (VA) in patients with VBD.

Dramatic Reanimation and Spontaneous Re-Canalization of a Fourth Ventricular Hemorrhage: "REVIVE" Phenomenon.

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage is a calamitous type of stroke where bleeding into the ventricular system can be defined as: primary, if confined within the ventricles; or secondary, due to intracerebral hemorrhage extending from adjacent parenchyma. Intraventricular blood clot can lead to secondary insult and inflammatory responses that culminates in hydrocephalus as the most common cause of death.

Purpose: THerein, we report a patient with a high modified Graeb scale and low Glasgow coma scale.

The In-Hospital Code Stroke: A Look Back and the Road Ahead.

With increased patient volumes and complexity, stroke occurrence in hospitalized patients has become relatively more common. The process of activating a code stroke in-hospital differs in many institutions. An emergency team-based response to inpatient acute code stroke is warranted, with many protocols modeled similarly to the cardiac arrest response.
