People with narcolepsy often have episodes of cataplexy, brief periods of muscle weakness triggered by strong emotions. Many researchers are now studying mouse models of narcolepsy, but definitions of cataplexy-like behavior in mice differ across labs. To establish a co...

1H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) was performed on a patient with an admission diagnosis of recurrent astrocytoma. The patient had undergone surgical resection and radiation therapy for a left occipital astrocytoma WHO grade III 12 years previously, and...

Abstract Objective The purpose of the current study was to characterize the frequency profiles of epileptogenic regions, independent of visible epileptiform discharges, in intracranial EEG (iEEG) recordings of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) patients. Methods We selected ...

The authors present a cross-sectional study involving 61 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) who were consecutively examined and compared to a control group with 74 subjects. Only patients who fulfilled the standard diagnostic criteria for PD and whose bra...

Multiple myeloma is the most common bone malignancy. Imaging plays an important role in identifying the extent of the disease, disease process, guiding biopsies, and diagnosing associated spinal and intracranial complications. Multiple myeloma and related plasma cell pr...

In this paper, a sleep EEG staging method based on Hilbert-Huang transform and sample entropy was proposed to improve the efficiency of automatic sleep staging. Firstly, the marginal spectrum of EEG was obtained by Hilbert-Huang transform. Secondly, features were extrac...

Task-dependent changes of nonlinear-linear synchronization features and graph theoretical properties of the delta and theta frequencies were analyzed in the present EEG study that were related to episodic memory maintenance processes. Synchronization was found to increa...

Abstract Studies of children treated for dense cataracts afford an opportunity to examine the role of visual experience in driving visual perceptual development. Collectively, the data indicate that there are multiple periods during which deprivation can damage visual d...

Rapid endovascular thrombectomy, which can only be delivered in specialist centres, is the most effective treatment for acute ischaemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Pre-hospital selection of these patients is challenging, especially in remote and rural ar...

Summary: Purpose: To compare the efficacy of lamotrigine (LTG) and valproic acid (VPA) in newly diagnosed children and adolescents with typical absence seizures. Methods: A randomized, open-label parallel-group design was used. After undergoing an awake video-EEG record...
