[Long-term EEG monitoring in patients with acute traumatic brain injury].

Objective: To investigate the informativeness of long-term scalp EEG monitoring in patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Material And Methods: The informativity of long-term EEG monitoring (LTM) was performed in 60 patients with acute severe TBI. Odd ratios (OR) of unfavorable outcome and non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) among clinical, neurophysiological and radiological features were calculated.

[Transcranial direct current stimulation in neurology and psychiatry].

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive method of modulating brain excitability by low intensity direct current. At present, there are numerous studies of tDCS application in various mental and neurological diseases. In this review, the data of tDCS efficiency in the treatment of different disorders are presented and the recommendations on using this method in clinical practice are given.
