Recent research into mammalian cortical neurophysiology, after 6 decades of Berger's seminal work on electroencephalography, has shifted the older concept of interictal epileptiform activity (IEA) away from that of a mere electrographic graphoelement of relevance to diagnostic implications in epilepsy. Instead, accumulating information has stressed the neuropsychological implications, cognitive and/or behavioral consequence of these electrophysiological events, which are the phenotypic expression of aberrations of actual biophysical cellular function. We feel that this review is germane to neuropsychiatry, however, a rather neglected area of research.

Automatic mode switching algorithms of dual chamber pacemakers require fundamental changes in the operation of pacemaker timing cycles to optimize detection of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. The timing cycles related to mode switching are basically independent of the algorithm design. Blanking periods (when the sensing amplifier is temporarily disabled) should be optimized to a relatively small fraction of the pacing cycle to enhance atrial sensing and prevent far-field sensing.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is widely accepted as a potential cause of torsade de pointes (TdP), yet this putative etiologic relationship has never been systematically evaluated. We therefore undertook a MEDLINE search from 1966 through 1993, with relevant back referencing, and identified 20 cases of TdP in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage. It was impossible in any of these cases (usually because of insufficient data) to completely exclude one or more alternative explanations for TdP, including congenital long QT syndrome, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or drug-induced QT prolongation.
