OBJECTIVE: Propagation of electroencephalogram (EEG) oscillations, often referred to as traveling waves, reflects the role of brain oscillations in neural information transmission. This propagation can be distorted by brain disorders such as schizophrenia that features disconnection of neural information transmission (i.e., disconnection syndrome). However, this possibility of the disruption of EEG oscillation propagation in patients with schizophrenia remains largely unexplored. METHODS: Using a publicly shared dataset (N = 19 and 24; patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls, respectively), we investigated EEG oscillation propagation by analyzing the local phase gradients (LPG) of alpha (8-12 Hz) oscillations in both healthy participants and patients with schizophrenia...

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) including pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) and walled-off necrosis (WON) are complications after acute pancreatitis. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) placement to manage PFCs. Between June 2019 and May 2023, patients with symptomatic PFCs who underwent EUS-guided electrocautery-enhanced LAMS drainage were enrolled retrospectively from eight tertiary centers in Taiwan. In total, 33 [14 (42.42%) PP and 19 (57...

Background and study aims Recent advances in endoscopic transmural treatment have improved the clinical outcomes of patients with pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). However, there is still a debate about the preventive effect of long-term placement of a transmural plastic stent (PS) on recurrence after successful endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided treatment of PFCs. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate PFC recurrence rates with and without a transmural PS after EUS-guided treatment...

BACKGROUND: Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) is a common cause of recurrent pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), often requiring repeat drainage. Following initial drainage with lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS), replacement with transmural double pigtail stents (DPS) has been shown to be a viable drainage modality mitigating the risk of recurrence. The sparsity of literature on the consequences of this strategy requires further investigation. We analyze our outcomes of long-term transmural drainage with DPS in patients with DPDS and assess the safety and efficacy of this technique...

We present the case of a patient with extensive ischaemia of the corpus callosum (CC) including all its anatomical subdivisions, caused by a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA). This resulted in subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and subsequently in cerebral vasospasm. The aneurysm was coiled, the vasospasm treated with repetitive intra-arterial spasmolysis and the patient then received intensive neurorehabilitative care. The case is an example of ischaemic infarction, which happens rarely in the CC after SAH, and even more rarely affects the CC along its entire length...

INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic necrosis is one of the most severe acute abdominal conditions, accounting for 15%-20% of all patients with acute pancreatitis and characterized by significant rates of postoperative complications and mortality. Patients with pancreatic necrosis, in which pathological changes are localized in the proximal pancreas and retroperitoneal space, deserve special attention. This form of the disease includes patients with disconnected main pancreatic duct (MPD) syndrome who have a difficult prognosis...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: When seizure onset affects a whole hemisphere, hemispheric disconnections are efficient and safe procedures. However, both lateral peri-insular hemispherotomy and vertical paramedian hemispherotomy approaches report a failure rate around 20%, which can be explained by residual connections giving rise to persistent seizures. In this study, we present the interhemispheric vertical hemispherotomy (IVH), a technical variation of the vertical paramedian hemispherotomy approach, that aims to increase seizure control avoiding residual connections while exposing the corpus callosum...

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [VV-ECMO] has gained increasing notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic as a salvation therapy for fulminant respiratory failure. Various configurations can present unique challenges in management. For instance, the ProtekDuo cannula is a 29Fr to 31Fr dual-lumen cannula inserted by way of the right internal jugular vein that allows for right atrium to pulmonary artery bypass with an attached oxygenator, essentially resulting in VV-ECMO. Understanding that these different configurations inevitably dictate the types of complications that can arise during the circuit implantation and management is imperative...

BACKGROUND: Cerebral extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) revascularization technique (superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass grafting) has become the preferred surgical method for the treatment of Moyamoya disease (MMD). We attempted to completely free the two branches of the superficial temporal artery without disconnection. Extracranial and intracranial blood flow reconstruction were then modified by selectively performing a direct bypass technique on one branch and a patch fusion technique on the other of the STA based on the blood flow and the vascular diameter of the intracranial surface blood vessels...

OBJECTIVE: The Corona Radiata (CR) is a large white matter tract in the brain comprising of the anterior CR (aCR), superior CR (sCR), and posterior CR (pCR), which have associations with cognition, self-regulation, and, in schizophrenia, positive symptom severity. This study tested the hypothesis that the microstructural organisation of the aCR, as measured by Fractional Anisotropy (FA) using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), would relate to poorer social cognitive outcomes and higher positive symptom severity for people with schizophrenia, when compared to healthy participants...

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 3400 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the United States; many of these deaths include modifiable risk factors (such as a non-supine position, sleeping on a soft surface, or loose bedding or items in the environment). Interventions have been successful at improving parental knowledge about recommendations to reduce risk of sleep-related infant deaths, as well as improving intention to adopt recommendations. However, follow-up studies have found a disconnect between knowledge/intentions to adhere to recommendations and actual practices...

Monocular torsional eye oscillations are a rare form of disconjugate nystagmus and the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. Here, we present and discuss a case with disabling torsional oscillopsia in one eye only. The patient exhibited (i) spontaneous pendular torsional nystagmus of the left eye and (ii) rhythmic involuntary movements of the soft palate and uvula, consistent with the syndrome of oculopalatal tremor with monocular nystagmus. Brain MRI revealed an infarct of the left dentate nucleus in the cerebellum and, more caudally, a secondary hypertrophic degeneration of the right inferior olivary nucleus...

Intraneural ganglion cysts are very uncommon lesions, whose diagnosis has increased since the articular theory and the description of the MRI findings were established. We present a case report of a 59-year-old man with symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Foot and ankle MRI demonstrated the presence of an intraneural cystic lesion in the posterior tibial neve and its connection with the subtalar joint through an articular branch. The identification of the specific radiological signs like the «signet ring sign» allowed establishing an adequate preoperative diagnosis, differentiating it from an extraneural lesion and facilitating the articular disconnection of the nerve branch during surgery...
