Adverse reactions to xenon-enhanced CT cerebral blood flow determination

Fourteen institutions performed 1,830 computed tomographic (CT) cerebral blood flow (CBF) examinations with 32% inhaled stable xenon. Respiratory rate delay greater than 10 seconds occurred in 3.6% of patients, with 83% of the delays lasting 10-15 seconds. There was no incident of prolonged respiratory difficulty. Headache (0.4%), seizures (0.2%), nausea and vomiting (0.2%), and change in neurologic status (0.1%) were uncommon, and there were no transient ischemic attacks. The CT CBF method with 32% inhaled stable xenon is thus associated with an acceptably low incidence of adverse reactions.     

Improved computational fronto-central sleep depth parameters show differences between apnea patients and control subjects

All-night EEG recordings from 12 male apnea patients and 12 age-matched healthy control subjects were studied in the present work. The spectral mean frequency was used to provide computational sleep depth curves from two frontopolar and two central EEG channels. Our previously presented computational parameters quantifying the properties of the sleep depth curves were improved. The resulting light sleep percentage (LS%) values were higher in apnea patients than in control subjects in the right central brain position (P = 0.028), in concordance to our previous work. Moreover, apnea patients showed higher LS% values in the right frontopolar position (P = 0.008). Also, apnea patients showed a smaller anteroposterior sleep depth difference than control subjects on the right hemisphere (P = 0.002). These are interesting new findings, achieved by the present methodology. Thus, the developed computational parameters were able to quantify, at least to some degree, the disruption of sleep process caused by the recurrent apneic events.     

Diffuse sleep spindles show similar frequency in central and frontopolar positions

The objective of the present work was to examine fronto-central spindle frequency. A previously validated spindle detector, providing an electroencephalographic (EEG) amplitude independent spindle detection, was used to detect bilateral sleep spindles from sleep EEG recordings of ten healthy subjects with a time resolution of 0.33-s. A bilateral spindle detected centrally and frontopolarly simultaneously is called here a diffuse spindle. A bilateral spindle detected only frontopolarly or centrally at a given time is called a pure frontopolar and a pure central spindle, respectively. Spindle frequency was obtained with zero-padded discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Waveform phase angle of diffuse spindles was also examined. A total of 1230 diffuse spindles and 5316 pure central and 2595 pure frontopolar spindles were detected. The difference of median spindle frequency between central and frontopolar brain positions was clearly smaller in diffuse spindles than in pure spindles. Moreover, 34% of the diffuse spindles showed a similar frequency in central and frontopolar locations. This figure was up to 50.9% when including the 700 diffuse spindles fulfilling a strict anteroposterior (AP) timing criteria. The timing criteria selection in diffuse spindle analysis is a new functionality, enabled by the present spindle analysis method. Diffuse spindles showed coherent spindle oscillation in a large fronto-central area. Pure frontopolar spindles might be special cases of diffuse spindles, both of them seem to be generated in the nucleus medialis dorsalis (NMD) of the thalamus.
