Beginning in December 2019, a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), began spreading rapidly throughout China and now is global pandemic, with cases reported over 192 countries territories worldwide. Clinically, COVID-19 ranges from mild, self-limiting respiratory illness to severe progressive pneumonia multiorgan failure. The first case was at the beginning of March New York City (NYC), just 3 weeks later, NYC its suburbs have 5% cases. Worldwide, there rapid increase number daily,...
"Brain-writing" is a technique in which group members write down ideas individually, before discussion, to improve idea generation and individual engagement discussions. We assessed the feasibility of studying impact brain-writing on diagnostic quality educational experience among neurology residents small case-based learning environment. conducted repeated-measures study, over 6 sessions consisting groups 3 5 from different years training. During each session, cases were treated as control,...
Previous research has demonstrated that simulation-based medical education (SBME) can improve neurology trainees' confidence, knowledge, and competence. However, a general needs assessment review of current SBME used within are needed to guide curriculum development. The objective this study was describe the use in resident assess perceived barriers expanding interventions. We surveyed adult residency program directors (PDs) listed Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education...
Critical illness and sepsis are commonly associated with subclinical seizures. COVID-19 frequently causes severe critical illness, but the incidence of electrographic seizures in patients has been reported to be low. This retrospective case series assessed risks for hospitalized who underwent continuous video electroencephalography monitoring (cvEEG) between March 1st, 2020 June 30th, 2020. One hundred twenty-two were initially identified resulted SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal RT-PCR swab...
This study sought to describe the current use of simulation-based medical education (SBME) in neurology training programs across United States.
The objective of this study was to identify and quantify barriers generic substitution antiseizure medications (ASM). A questionnaire on ASM developed by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force Generic Substitution. Questions addressed understanding bioequivalence, standards for products, experiences with substitution, demographic data. survey web-based distributed ILAE chapters, their membership, professional colleagues task force members. Comparisons in responses were...
There have been numerous reports of neurologic manifestations identified in hospitalized patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Here, we identify spectrum associated symptoms and diagnoses, define time course their development, examine readmission rates mortality risk posthospitalization a multiethnic urban cohort.We occurrence new diagnoses among laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection New York City. A retrospective cohort study was performed on 532 cases...
Purpose: Spatial patterns of long-range seizure propagation in epileptic networks have not been well characterized. Here, we use ictal high-gamma activity (HGA) as a proxy intense neuronal population firing to map the spatial evolution recruitment. Methods: Ictal HGA (80–150 Hz) was analyzed 13 patients with 72 seizures recorded by stereotactic depth electrodes, using previously validated methods. Distinct clusters channels signature were identified, and hubs defined stereotypically...
We created a simulation-based educational tool for adult neurology residents focused on work-up of first-of-lifetime seizure, diagnosis epilepsy, and key components treatment plans counseling. Primary outcomes were six-month embedded learning confidence in subgroup who had participated the simulation compared to those not.
Objective: The objective of our study is to determine if use a mobile tutorial EEG atlas will improve user recognition waveforms and patterns. Background: According the ACGME, every graduating neurology resident must be proficient at interpreting an electroencephalogram (EEG). interpretation exercise in visual analysis pattern recognition. As such, mastery requires exposure large volume varied cases. Traditional methods teaching include: (1) books/lectures, which usually do not provide...
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of refractory myoclonic status epilepticus (MSE) after cardiac arrest and therapeutic temperature management (TTM) to 36C with good cognitive recovery. BACKGROUND: The 2006 AAN Practice Parameters regarding prediction poor outcome prior TTM reported 0[percnt] false positive rate MSE. Subsequent reports patients MSE surviving outcomes 33C but not have been published. CASE REPORT: A 31 year-old man presented severe hypoxia, pericardial effusion tamponade. During...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To assess the feasibility and utility of simulation-based training in teaching concepts surrounding management traumatic brain injury (TBI). <h3>Background:</h3> Neurology trainees respond to neurological emergencies but often do not have opportunity practice implementing their clinical knowledge communication skills managing such outside setting. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> We developed a program for neurology residents patient presenting with acute TBI under direct...
Edited by Michael R. Trimble, Bettina Schmitz 221 pp., Cambridge University Press, 2011, $99 The complexities of the mind–brain interface are fascinating for clinical neurologist, but also challenging. Epilepsy, with its electrophysiologic underpinnings and high rate anxiety suicidality, provides a prime example disease that is as much mind it brain. Though neurologists feel generally adept at identifying localizing epileptiform discharges on an EEG, many these same well-trained poorly...

Abstract Objective Characterization of progressive multi-site seizure recruitment using high frequency oscillations. Methods Ictal and interictal oscillations were identified in a series 13 patients with 72 seizures recorded by stereotactic depth electrodes, previously validated methods. Channels ictal assigned to distinct spatial clusters, hubs stereotypically recruited non-overlapping clusters. Clusters correlated asynchronous terminations provide supportive evidence for independent...
