A pain in the pocket: Prevalence of pocket pain in patients with implantation of neuromodulation systems: A retrospective study.

Introduction: Implantable pulse generator (IPG) is a neurostimulation therapy mediated by electrodes and surgically implanted in a subcutaneous "pocket" used for the control of numerous pathologies. This study examines both the prevalence of pain associated with IPG implantation ("pain pocket syndrome") and its associated characteristics.

Materials And Methods: 56 patients with an IPG were included in the study.

Developmental outcome of electroencephalographic findings in encephalopathy.

haploinsufficiency results in a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) causing generalized epilepsies accompanied by a spectrum of neurodevelopmental symptoms. Concerning interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in electroencephalograms (EEG), potential biomarkers have been postulated, including changes in background activity, fixation-off sensitivity (FOS) or eye closure sensitivity (ECS). In this study we clinically evaluate a new cohort of 36 SYNGAP1-DEE individuals.

Individualizing mechanical ventilation: titration of driving pressure to pulmonary elastance through Young's modulus in an acute respiratory distress syndrome animal model.

Background: Mechanical ventilation increases the risk of lung injury (VILI). Some authors propose that the way to reduce VILI is to find the threshold of driving pressure below which VILI is minimized. In this study, we propose a method to titrate the driving pressure to pulmonary elastance in an acute respiratory distress syndrome model using Young's modulus and its consequences on ventilatory-induced lung injury.
