High-frequency oscillations (HFO; gamma: 40-100 Hz, ripples: 100-200 Hz, and fast ripples: 250-500 Hz) have been widely studied in health and disease. These phenomena may serve as biomarkers for epileptic brain; however, a means of differentiating between pathological and normal physiological HFO is essential. We categorized task-induced physiological HFO during periods of HFO induced by a visual or motor task by measuring frequency, duration, and spectral amplitude of each event in single trial time-frequency spectra and compared them to pathological HFO similarly measured. Pathological HFO had higher mean spectral amplitude, longer mean duration, and lower mean frequency than physiological-induced HFO. In individual patients, support vector machine analysis correctly classified pathological HFO with sensitivities ranging from 70-98% and specificities >90% in all but one patient. In this patient, infrequent high-amplitude HFO were observed in the motor cortex just before movement onset in the motor task. This finding raises the possibility that in epileptic brain physiological-induced gamma can assume higher spectral amplitudes similar to those seen in pathologic HFO. This method if automated and validated could provide a step towards differentiating physiological HFO from pathological HFO and improving localization of epileptogenic brain.

To date, there is no neurophysiologic or neuroimaging biomarker that can accurately delineate the epileptogenic network. High-frequency oscillations (HFO) have been proposed as biomarkers for epileptogenesis and the epileptogenic network. The pathological HFO have been associated with areas of seizure onset and epileptogenic tissue.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effect of perampanel, an AMPA receptor antagonist, on reducing hyperexcitability around gliomas, which could promote tumor growth.
- An open-label trial compared perampanel with standard care in patients with high-grade glioma undergoing surgery, measuring outcomes like high-frequency oscillation rates and seizure occurrence.
- Results showed no significant difference in hyperexcitability outcomes between perampanel and standard care, and early termination of the trial indicated similar seizure rates and overall survival for both treatments.

Purpose: Ictal high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) are a reliable indicator of a seizure onset zone for intracranial EEG recordings. Interictal HFOs often are also observed and may be a useful biomarker to supplement ictal data, but distinguishing pathologic from physiologic HFOs continues to be a challenging task. We present a method of classifying HFOs based on morphologic contrast to the background.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) in the brain to find a reliable way to differentiate between harmful and normal oscillations during epilepsy monitoring.
- Researchers analyzed over 686,000 HFOs from 185 epilepsy patients, using advanced techniques like variational autoencoders to identify unique characteristics of pathological HFOs that correlate with seizure activity.
- The findings indicate that these pathological HFOs have distinct features, show a strong link to seizure onset zones, and provide better predictive outcomes for post-surgery seizure control compared to traditional classification methods.

Background: Reintubation is associated with higher risk of mortality. There is no clear evidence on the best spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) method to reduce the risk of reintubation.
Research Question: Are different methods of conducting SBTs in critically ill patients associated with different risk of reintubation compared with T-tube?
Study Design And Methods: We conducted a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of different SBT methods on reintubation.
