High-frequency oscillations (HFOs, 80-500Hz) from intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) may represent a biomarker of epileptogenicity for epilepsy. We explored the relationship between ictal HFOs and hyperexcitability with a view to improving surgical outcome. ⋯ Presurgical evaluation of refractory epilepsy may incorporate both ictal HFOs and cortical stimulation in determining epileptogenic foci.

Ultrasound differentiation of neuropathies is a great challenge. We, therefore, suggest a standardized score to operationalize differentiation between several acute and subacute onset neuropathies. ⋯ Using the UPSS and its sub-scores gives a new diagnostic power to the method of the peripheral nerve ultrasound.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of partial neuromuscular blockade on lateral spread response monitoring during microvascular decompression surgery.
We evaluated the effect of partial neuromuscular blockade (NMB) and no NMB on successful intraoperative monitoring of the lateral spread response (LSR) during microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery. ⋯ We suggested the availability of partial NMB for intraoperative LSR monitoring.

Comparative Study
The influence of central neuropathic pain in paraplegic patients on performance of a motor imagery based Brain Computer Interface.
The aim of this study was to test how the presence of central neuropathic pain (CNP) influences the performance of a motor imagery based Brain Computer Interface (BCI). ⋯ Results of the study show that CNP is an important confounding factor influencing the performance of motor imagery based BCI based on ERD.
