Scientists Are Just Beginning to Understand COVID-19 ’ s Effect On the Brain
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors started to notice something striking. For what was originally described as a respiratory virus, SARS-CoV-2 seemed to have a strong effect on the brain, causing everything from loss of taste and smell and brain fog to, in serious cases, stroke.
NYU Langone Health, a New York city research hospital, started collating those anecdotes in hopes of better understanding how the virus affects the brain and nervous system. Years later, the project has morphed from focusing solely on acute symptoms to also tracking the long-term neurologic issues that some people with Long COVID experience, sa...

The natural history of epilepsy and nonepileptic seizures in Sturge-Weber syndrome: A retrospective case-note review
This study explored the natural history of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures into adulthood in patients with SWS, and their treatment, and investigated whether any clinical factors predict which symptoms a patient will experience during adulthood.METHODS: A retrospective case-note review of a cohort of 26 adults with SWS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN). Childhood data were also recorded, where available, to enable review of change/development of symptoms over time.RESULTS: The course of epilepsy showed some improvement in adulthood - seventeen adults continued to have seizures, while six pa...

Risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae 2 years after hospitalisation or intensive care admission with COVID-19 compared to admissions for other causes
Brain Behav Immun. 2023 May 30:S0889-1591(23)00132-0. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.05.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between COVID-19 and subsequent neurological and psychiatric disorders is well established. However, two important questions remain unanswered. First, what are the risks in those admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19? Admission to ICU is itself associated with neurological and psychiatric sequelae and it is not clear whether COVID-19 further increases those risks or changes their profile. Second, what are the trajectories of neurological and psychiatric risks in patients admitted...

Prevalence, electroclinical spectrum and effect on the outcome of non-convulsive status epilepticus in critically ill patients; the utility of routine electroencephalogram
Epilepsy Behav. 2023 Feb 28;141:109144. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109144. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: To highlight the importance of routine electroencephalogram (rEEG) in detecting non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), describing the electroclinical spectrum and effect on outcome in critically ill patients with altered mental status (CIPAMS).METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted at King Fahd University Hospital. Clinical data and EEG recordings of CIPAMS to rule out NCSE were reviewed. All patients had at least 30 minutes of EEG recording. The Salzburg Consensus criteria (SCC) were applied to d...

Interference of New Antiseizure Agents with Hospital Transfer of Stroke Patients in Japan: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023;46(3):440-445. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b22-00787.ABSTRACTPatients in Japan often have difficulty in screening and selecting chronic-care and rehabilitation hospitals for transfer because of the high cost and unavailability of new antiseizure medications, such as perampanel and lacosamide. To investigate whether the requirement for perampanel and lacosamide interfered with patients' hospital transfer by comparing the number of days required for hospital transfer. Data were obtained from patients 1) who were diagnosed with intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, 2) who were treated with antiseizure me...
