Fourty epileptic and 66 migraine patients were examined. The differences in clinical features of headache paroxysms, consciousness disorders, psycho-sensory++, viscero-autonomic++ and affective spells were determined. The elements of confused consciousness, short-lived and local autonomic responses were characteristic of seizure-free epileptic attacks. Migrainous paroxysms were multiform and pronounced in terms of autonomic disorders, had lesser depth and incidence of consciousness disorders with longer lasting vaso-autonomic++ crises.

Neural Correlates of Social Touch Processing: An fMRI Study on Brain Functional Connectivity.
J Integr Neurosci
January 2025
Laboratory for the Study of Tactile Communication, Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, 117485 Moscow, Russia.
Background: The significance of tactile stimulation in human social development and personal interaction is well documented; however, the underlying cerebral processes remain under-researched. This study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of social touch processing, with a particular focus on the functional connectivity associated with the aftereffects of touch.
Methods: A total of 27 experimental subjects were recruited for the study, all of whom underwent a 5-minute calf and foot massage prior to undergoing resting-state fMRI.
Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation (LVHT) in Athletes: A Negligible Finding?

Left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT) used to be a rare phenotypic trait. With advances in diagnostic imaging techniques, LVHT is being recognised in an increasing number of people. The scientific data show the possibility of the overdiagnosis of this cardiomyopathy in a population of people who have very high levels of physical activity.

PLoS One

Department of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands.
When undergoing or about to undergo a needle-related procedure, most people are not aware of the adverse emotional and physical reactions (so-called vasovagal reactions; VVR), that might occur. Thus, rather than relying on self-report measurements, we investigate whether we can predict VVR levels from the video sequence containing facial information measured during the blood donation. We filmed 287 blood donors throughout the blood donation procedure where we obtained 1945 videos for data analysis.

Background: Clinicians are challenged by the ambiguity and uncertainty in assessing level of consciousness in individuals with disorder of consciousness (DoC). There are numerous challenges to valid and reliable neurobehavioral assessment and classification of DoC due to multiple environmental and patient-related biases including behavioral fluctuation and confounding or co-occurring medical conditions. Addressing these biases could impact accuracy of assessment and is an important aspect of the DoC assessment process.

NMC Case Rep J

Department of Neurology, Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.
We report a case of persistent consciousness disturbance due to non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) following a successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT). A 98-year-old female with atrial fibrillation presented with impaired consciousness and right hemiparesis 6 hrs after her last known well state. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed occlusion of the left internal carotid artery, necessitating MT to achieve complete recanalisation.
