Clinical and intracranial electrophysiological signatures of post-operative and post-ictal delirium.

Clin Neurophysiol

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA; Iowa Neuroscience Institute, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.

Objectives: (1) Gain insight into the mechanisms of postoperative delirium (POD). (2) Determine mechanistic overlap with post-ictal delirium (PID). Epilepsy patients undergoing intracranial electrophysiological monitoring can experience both POD and PID, and thus are suitable subjects for these investigations.

Cardiac Implications in Dravet Syndrome: Can Electrocardiogram and Echocardiography Detect Hidden Risks?

January 2025

Faculty of Medicine, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; Pediatrics Research Group, Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR-Sant Pau), Barcelona, Spain; Pediatric Neurology Unit, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain.

Background: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with loss-of-function variants in the SCN1A gene. Although predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, SCN1A is also expressed in the heart, suggesting a potential link between neuronal and cardiac channelopathies. Additionally, DS carries a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

: This study investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, to enhance decision support in diagnosing epilepsy. AI tools can improve diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and decision-making speed. The aim of this study was to compare the level of agreement in epilepsy diagnosis between human experts (epileptologists) and AI (ChatGPT), using the 2014 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) criteria, and to identify potential predictors of diagnostic errors made by ChatGPT.
