Predictors of Recording an Event During Prolonged Inpatient Video Electroencephalogram Monitoring in Children

BackgroundDistinguishing between seizures and nonepileptic events is a key challenge in pediatric neurology. The diagnostic gold standard is prolonged inpatient video electroencephalogram monitoring. However, little is known about preadmission characteristics that are predictive of recording an event during such monitoring.MethodsThis is a retrospective chart review of children undergoing prolonged inpatient video electroencephalogram monitoring between 2009 and 2012 at a tertiary referral center for the purpose of distinguishing between seizures and nonepileptic events. Demographic information, medical history, event characteristics, and inpatient monitoring course were abstracted.ResultsTwo-hundred thirteen children were identified. The median recording duration was 25 hours (interquartile range 22.4-48.5), and median time to event of interest (among those with an event recorded) was 4.5 hours (interquartile range 1.4-18.8). An event of interest was recorded in 66% of patients. At the event level, 20% of recorded events were associated with an electroencephalogram correlate, which refers to a change in the pattern seen on the electroencephalogram during a seizure. At the patient level, 112 (79.4%) with events recorded had only nonepileptic events recorded, 25 (17.7%) had only seizures recorded, and 4 (2.8%) had both recorded. Recording an event was predicted by the presence of intellectual disability (P = 0.001), greater preadmission event frequency (P < 0.001), and shorter latency since most recent event (P < 0.001).ConclusionsProlonged inpatient electroencephalogram monitoring captured an event of interest in two-thirds of patients, with most of these events captured within less than four and a half hours of recording onset. Several factors predict a greater yield with prolonged inpatient video electroencephalogram monitoring—including event frequency, latency since the most recent event, and the presence of intellectual disability—and can be used to counsel patients regarding this study for the purpose of event capture in the context of shared decision making.

直肠癌手术理念和技术的进步,使得低位直肠癌保肛率明显提高,而肠道功能障碍是困扰保肛术后患者的主要问题。目前研究从解剖、生理及动力学角度分析排粪功能改变的机制,认为肠道功能障碍与术后解剖改变、神经损伤以及括约肌功能受损等密切相关。本文总结了直肠癌术后肠道功能障碍的流行病学和发生机制,并阐述术后肠道功能障碍发生机制对预防和治疗术后肠道功能障碍的重要意义。     

Gasless laparoscopic assisted surgery for abdominal trauma

Background

Numerous studies have described the effectiveness of laparoscopy for trauma patients. In gas-filling laparoscopic surgery, most of the disadvantages are related to a positive pressure pneumoperitoneum that compromises the cardiopulmonary function. The main advantage of gasless laparoscopic assisted surgery (GLA) is that it does not affect the haemodynamic status, which is particularly critical for trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of GLA for abdominal trauma.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective, 1:2 matched case–control study of all trauma gasless assisted laparoscopies performed from January 2010 until January 2013 in a Level I trauma centre. In total, 965 patients with abdominal trauma were admitted. According to the abdominal trauma protocol, a total of 93 hemodynamically stable patients required the operation; we selected fifteen patients to undergo GLA and matched 30 other patients to undergo laparotomy. Demographic information, perioperative findings, injury severity score, and postoperative recovery were recorded and analyzed.

Results

A total of fifteen patients (ten men, five women) with a mean age of 44.4, standard deviation (SD) 13.2 years underwent GLA for abdominal trauma. Eight patients had penetrating injuries, while seven had blunt injuries. Overall, 73% patients had multiple injuries. The mean time to the identified lesion was 23.1, SD 10.9 min, and the mean operative time was 109.7, SD 33.5 min. Most of the lesions were repaired concurrently by GLA. One conversion to laparotomy was done. The mean length of hospital stay (HLOS) was 9.1, SD 4.5 days. No mortality occurred in this series. The mean follow-up was 22.0, SD 7.9 months, and there were no significant events during this period. The mean operative times were comparable in the GLA and open surgery group (109.7, SD 33.5 vs. 131.2, SD 43.6 min; p = 0.076). Compared with the open surgery group, the HLOS was significantly shorter in the GLA group (9.1, SD 4.5 vs.16.3, SD 6.4 days; p = 0.030).

Conclusion

GLA offers both therapeutic and diagnostic advantages for patients with abdominal trauma. GLA shares the advantages of laparoscopy and prevents the cardiopulmonary function from being compromised due to pneumoperitoneum, which is especially critical for trauma patients.     

Bariatric surgery

Obesity is one of the most prevalent problems worldwide today, with the incidence fast increasing. As such, bariatric surgery is becoming a valuable alternative solution for those who have failed to lose weight by conservative means. Alongside obesity exist multiple comorbidities, both physical and mental, which have a significant affect upon the patient and need to be addressed before, during and after any operative intervention. This article outlines the problems associated with obesity, and discusses the most common operations in terms of risks and benefits. Finally, it explores the postoperative considerations that must be taken into account before embarking upon weight loss surgery.     

Non‐epileptic myoclonic attacks in infancy: three cases

Since the first cases of abnormal paroxystic movements in normal infants were described, the importance of accurate characterization of this medical condition has been increasingly confirmed in the literature. Non‐epileptic attacks mimic epileptic paroxysms in clinical presentation, but they have a typically benign course and are unresponsive to pharmacological treatment. An evident feature of the syndrome is its extreme variability in clinical manifestation. Here, we describe three normal infants with two similar forms of non‐epileptic paroxysms. Electroclinical manifestations and profile of evolution were investigated. Ictal video‐EEG polygraphic recordings were obtained for each patient. The increasing number of such reported clinical cases in the literature may contribute to high quality systematic reviews and the development of useful guidelines in the future. The clinical heterogeneity of non‐epileptic attacks, together with the relative rarity of the condition, may make differential diagnosis with epileptic attacks very challenging.

Sialendoscopy-assisted transfacial surgical removal of parotid stones

Minimally invasive surgical approaches to parotid stones (such as extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy and sialendoscopy) have proved to be effective in a high percentage of cases, although success depends on factors such as the localisation of the stone, its size and its mobility. The failure rate of 10% is largely due to large and impacted stones and, in such cases, a combined external and sialendoscopic approach can be used to avoid morbidity and the risks of more invasive superficial parotidectomy. We treated eight patients with large parotid stones (>7 mm) using a sialendoscopy-assisted transfacial surgical approach that was effective in all but one case, which was successfully solved by combining this procedure with extra-corporeal lithotripsy and operative sialendoscopy. Our results confirm that the combined approach is a valid alternative to parotidectomy for large parotid stones and should be added to other minimally invasive techniques aimed at restoring the function of the affected parotid gland.
