Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has been used as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy and transfemoral carotid artery stenting. Although TCAR has been associated with a decrease in perioperative strokes compared with transfemoral carotid artery stenting, little is known about the safety of cerebral blood during flow reversal or the value of adjunctive electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in performing TCAR. We describe two cases of EEG changes in patients undergoing TCAR. These cases highlight the use of adjunctive EEG and provide examples of test clamping to assess for compromised collateral cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing TCAR.

Lacosamide as an Adjunctive Therapy in the Management of Refractory Neonatal Seizures: A Retrospective Study.
J Child Neurol
December 2024
Division of Child Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
Objective: Neonatal seizures present significant treatment challenges, often requiring adjunctive antiseizure medications. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide as an adjunctive antiseizure medication in managing refractory neonatal seizures.
Methods: The study included neonates up to 44 weeks of corrected gestational age who received lacosamide treatment at a level 4 neonatal intensive care unit between January 2015 and December 2023.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of a point-of-care EEG device to help differentiate between seizures and actual strokes during acute stroke evaluations, where timing is critical.
- - Conducted retrospectively at a teaching hospital, the study involved 70 patients monitored with the Rapid Response EEG system and revealed that 38 were diagnosed with strokes while 32 were not.
- - The findings showed that the point-of-care EEG detected seizures in 15.8% of stroke patients and 34.4% of stroke-mimic patients, highlighting its effectiveness in identifying nonconvulsive seizures in emergency situations.
TRANscranial direct current stimulation for FOcal Refractory epilepsy in mitochondrial disease (TRANSFORM): delayed-start, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
BMC Neurol
October 2024
Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Focal epilepsy is common in children and adults with mitochondrial disease. Seizures are often refractory to pharmacological treatment and, in this patient group, frequently evolve to refractory focal status epilepticus (also known as epilepsia partialis continua). Where this occurs, the long-term prognosis is poor.

Background: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one-third of epilepsy patients who do not achieve adequate seizure control with medication. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive therapy for DRE, but its long-term effects on cortical excitability remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the long-term effects of VNS on electroencephalography (EEG) aperiodic components in patients with DRE.
