Combination of Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sedation
Conclusions: The efficacy of DEX–KET sedation was comparable to that of midazolam for MRI examination. DEX–KET was related to shorter scan time and lower occurrence of complications compared to midazolam. Introduction Neurocritically ill patients often require brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in addition to conventional neurological evaluations. Brain MRI can reveal structural lesions with a high sensitivity due to its excellent spatial resolution and enhanced soft tissue contrast (1–3). To acquire MRI images, patients' cooperation is imperative. However, keeping patients with ...

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices. It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Using bibliotherapy to rebuild identity for people with aphasia: A book club experience
CONCLUSION: The themes align positively with outcomes associated with the bibliotherapy process. Themes also integrate into a self-management model that promotes self-efficacy through education, support, awareness, problem solving and goal setting. Caveats included determining participant readiness to examine recovery issues and facilitator preparation. Aphasia book clubs surrounding psychosocial texts may help PwA reconstruct a positive post-stroke identity.PMID:37517172 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106363

Late Neurologic Events After Surgery for Atrial Fibrillation: Rare but Relevant ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions After surgery for AF ablation, there is ongoing low risk of LNE even when the LAA is surgically excised. Further investigation should be pursued to clarify whether a difference exists with alternative elimination techniques and in patients in whom AF is successfully eliminated.

Mapping dysfunctional connectivity in brain injury (P02.267)
Structural brain imaging tools fail to detect pathological changes to brain function in the absence of observable structural damage. Identifying areas of dysfunction in brain injury patients could lead to more sensitive and better targeted therapy. This manuscript proposes a novel methodology for using resting state functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) to identify dysfunctional cortex. The method compares patterns of connectivity within a patient's brain to those in normal control individuals and identifies areas of the individual's brain from which connectivity is abnormal. I present a patient diagnosed with abulia followi...

Brain rewires itself after damage or injury, life scientists discover
When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function, say life scientists from UCLA and Australia who have pinpointed the regions of the brain involved in creating those alternate pathways — often far from the damaged site.   The research, conducted by UCLA's Michael Fanselow and Moriel Zelikowsky in collaboration with Bryce Vissel, a group leader of the neuroscience research program at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, appears this week in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...

Identifying Novel Biomarkers of Cerebral Ischemia through the Use of Mass Spectroscopy (S15.004)
CONCLUSIONS: Mass spectroscopy-based proteomics is a potential new tool to help identify biomarkers for cerebral ischemia. Ultimately, a panel of proteins may serve as a marker for cerebral ischemia or TIA. We have identified three candidate proteins as possible indicators for cerebral ischemia. Larger studies are needed to confirm our results.

Fasting Serum Glucose and Cholesterol as Predictors of Cardiovascular Reactivity to Acute Stress in a Sample of African American College Students.
CONCLUSIONS: FSG was a better predictor of cardiovascular reactivity to stress than serum cholesterol concentration, predicting mean arterial pressure and stroke volume. This finding may be due to the association of glucose with diabetes, which is more prevalent in African Americans. PMID: 26118145 [PubMed - in process]

Neurologic Complications of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the increasing utilization of ECMO and the high costs and poor outcomes associated with neurologic complications, more research is needed to help determine the best way to prevent these sequelae in this patient population. PMID: 26320848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
