Contribution of ultrasonography in evaluating traumatic lesions of the peripheral nerves
DiscussionIn acute situations, US is most useful in EDx complete TPNL to differentiate between nerve axonotmesis and neurotmesis. High-velocity trauma, lacerations, and bone fractures are all risk factors for neurotmesis. In chronic situations, US is useful in cases of functionally inefficient reinnervation, neuropathic pain, or progressive nerve dysfunction. In such patients, the surrounding tissues and the relation of the nerve to any OSM need to be carefully examined. US examination is probably not needed in patients with TPNL following acute blunt trauma, only minor clinical deficits and/or slightly/moderately abnormal...

Short-term risk of relapse after a first unprovoked seizure in an adult population
ConclusionMost patients with FUS diagnosed in the ED did not present seizure recurrence within the first month, especially if no specific risk factors were present (focal seizure, abnormal EEG within first 48 hours). The systematic use of prophylactic AED (benzodiazepines) is not recommended in the ED in the clinical setting of FUS. A specialized consultation within a one-month period is safe and adequate for FUS follow-up. (Source: Neurophysiologie Clinique)

Relieving peripheral neuropathic pain by increasing the power-ratio of low-β over high-β activities in the central cortical region with EEG-based neurofeedback: Study protocol for a controlled pilot trial (SMRPain study)
The objective of this single-centre, single-blinded, randomized controlled pilot study is to assess the value of an EEG-NFB procedure to relieve chronic neuropathic pain in patients with painful peripheral neuropathy. A series of 32 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two following EEG-NFB protocols, aimed at increasing either the low-β(SMR)/high-β ratio (n = 16) or the α(μ)/θ ratio (n = 16) at central (rolandic) cortical level. Various clinical outcome measures will be collected before and one week after 12 EEG-NFB sessions performed over 4 weeks. Resting-state EEG will also be r...

Focal seizures with a migrating aspect in infants treated with beta-lactam antibiotics – Report of two cases
Publication date: Available online 7 February 2020Source: Neurophysiologie CliniqueAuthor(s): Kien Minh Nguyen, Olivier Bustarret, Myriam Jugie, Rima Nabbout, Anna Kaminska, Monika EisermannSummarySeizures caused by beta-lactam antibiotics are relatively rare. However, they represent a clinically significant phenomenon and have been widely reported in all age groups. Here we describe two infants presenting subtle multifocal seizures with a migrating aspect on EEG during beta-lactam antibiotic treatment with agents from the carbapenem group (meropenem) and the cephalosporin group (ceftazidime).

The sensory role of the sole of the foot: Review and update on clinical perspectives
Publication date: Available online 29 January 2020Source: Neurophysiologie CliniqueAuthor(s): Frederic J.F. ViseuxSummaryThe feet constitute an important sensory structure in the mechanisms of postural control. As a direct and often only interface between the body and the ground, the feet allow us to sense and interact with our environment. Sensory information provided by muscle and cutaneous afferents in the foot contribute to our ability to stand upright, and postural sway is necessary to detect both position and motion of the body in space. A decline in foot sole skin sensitivity occurs naturally with aging and as a res...

Nerve conduction, circulating osteopontin and taxane-induced neuropathy in breast cancer patients
ConclusionLower limb NCS changes occurred earlier than the detrimental effects of TIN on patients’ QoL. Low serum OPN levels before chemotherapy may represent a novel biomarker of TIN risk. (Source: Neurophysiologie Clinique)

Characteristics of sympathetic skin response in patients with Parkinson's disease accompanied by lower limb edema
ConclusionPD patients with lower limb edema have lower SSR amplitude and longer latency. Oral intake of pramipexole may be a contributing risk factor for edema. (Source: Neurophysiologie Clinique)

Effect of chronic nicotine consumption on motor cortical excitability: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study
ConclusionThe present results confirm previous findings by Grundey et al. (2013) that chronic nicotine consumption is characterized by hyperexcitability of corticospinal output. We speculate that it is a secondary adaptation to long-term nicotine use with high inter-individual variance. (Source: Neurophysiologie Clinique)
