Prognostic implications of periodic epileptiform discharges.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Periodic epileptiform discharges (PEDs) are an abnormal finding on electroencephalograms (EEGs), the significance of which is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate long-term outcome in patients with PEDs. DESIGN: We retrospectively ... Read more...

Neurological injury after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use to aid pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to aid failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in children is associated with a high incidence of neurologic injury. We sought to identify risk factors for acute neurologic injury in children ... Read more...

Relevance of intracranial hypertension for cerebral metabolism in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical article.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECT: Intracranial hypertension, defined as intracranial pressure (ICP) >/= 20 mm Hg, is a complication typically associated with head injury. Its impact on cerebral metabolism, ICP therapy, and outcome has rarely been studied in patients with ... Read more...
