Complete heart block with SARS-COV-2 infection inducing permanent pacing: a case report from a tertiary private hospital In Tanzania.

There is an increased risk of cardiac complications in COVID-19 among patients with pre-existing comorbidities due to their existing pro-inflammatory status. The manifestation of complete heart block has been evidenced as transient and in no need of intervention. This case presents a previously healthy woman who was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection and complete heart block; she underwent permanent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation after successful treatment and a negative COVID-19 test.

Objective: Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) are often referred for phase II evaluation with stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) to identify a seizure onset zone for guiding definitive treatment. For patients without a focal seizure onset zone, neuromodulation targeting the thalamic nuclei-specifically the centromedian nucleus, anterior nucleus of the thalamus, and pulvinar nucleus-may be considered. Currently, thalamic nuclei selection is based mainly on the location of seizure onset, without a detailed evaluation of their network involvement.

Article Synopsis
- Electrographic flow (EGF) mapping is a technique used to understand how electrical signals move in the heart's atria, especially in relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to normal sinus rhythm (SR).
- The study involved mapping electrical activity in the atria of ten patients, showing that EGF patterns differ significantly in AF, with lower electrographic flow consistency (EGFC) during AF compared to SR, indicating more chaotic activity.
- The findings suggest EGFC could serve as a valuable marker for assessing atrial health and myopathy, correlating with bipolar voltage measurements, which are commonly used to evaluate heart conditions.
Critical care EEG monitoring in children with abusive head trauma: A retrospective study of seizure burden and predictors of neurological outcomes.
Seizure
December 2024
Epilepsy Program, Division of Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Toronto, M5G1x8, Canada. Electronic address:
Objectives: Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) remains an important cause of acute seizures, morbidity, and mortality in children. We aimed to assess the clinical and electrographic seizure burden in children with AHT and to explore predictors of morbidity and mortality.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of all children admitted with AHT who underwent continuous electroencephalographic monitoring (cEEG) between January 1st, 2015, and April 15th, 2021.
Retrospective characterization of seizure semiology and treatment using continuous video-EEG monitoring in neonatal encephalopathy in Uganda.

Objective: Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a leading cause of childhood death and disability, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Detection of NE-related seizures is challenging. We explored NE seizure semiology and management in Uganda.
