Effect of sampling rate and filter settings on High Frequency Oscillation detections

High frequency oscillations (HFOs) are short, rare events with high power in approximately 80-500 Hz and have been suggested as a biomarker of epilepsy (Bragin et al., 2002; Engel et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2010; Blanco et al., 2011; Park et al., 2012; Haegelen et al., 2013; Kerber et al., 2014). Research often focuses on HFOs as a biomarker of ictal onset tissue (Cho et al., 2014; Dumpelmann et al., 2014; Malinowska et al., 2014; Okanishi et al., 2014; Gliske et al., 2016). HFOs have also been considered as a biomarker of a pre-ictal state (Pearce et al., 2013; Malinowska et al., 2014).

Evaluation and treatment of mild traumatic brain injury through the implementation of clinical video telehealth: Provider perspectives from the Veterans Health Administration

Substantial numbers of U.S. military Veterans who served in recent conflicts experience mild traumatic brain injury. Data suggests that as many as 25% of Veterans do not have a comprehensive traumatic brain injury evaluation to determine a diagnosis and develop a plan to treat symptoms. Technologies like clinical video telehealth offer a potential means to overcome travel distance and other barriers that can impact Veteran receipt of a comprehensive traumatic brain injury evaluation after a positive screening; however, little is known about implementing clinical video telehealth in this context.

Innovations with 3D Printing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: An Analysis of the Literature

Created over 30 years ago, three dimensional printing (3DP) has recently seen a meteoric rise in interest within medicine, and the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is no exception. Also called additive manufacturing (AM), the recent increase in utilization of 3DP is likely due to lower cost printers as well as breakthroughs in techniques and processing. This thematic narrative review serves to introduce the rehabilitation professional to 3DP technology and how it is being applied to orthoses, prostheses, and assistive technology (AT).

King Vision video laryngoscope versus Lightwand as an intubating device in adult patients with Mallampatti grade III and IV patients

Anticipated and unanticipated difficult airways are often encountered by anesthesiologists in their clinical practice. There are various devices available in such situations. We aim to compare King Vision video laryngoscope and Lightwand for their performance as an intubating device in predicted difficult intubation.

Intraoperative cardiovascular collapse in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an autosomal recessive disorder that can arise in the skin and mucosal membranes spontaneously or after trauma. These patients may require anesthesia due to esophageal balloon dilatation, surgical release of contracture pseudosyndactyly, or dental procedures. However, clinicians may face with particular difficulty in these patients due to the formation of bullae followed by scar and contractures on the skin and airways. Furthermore, significant cardiovascular effects may also occur intraoperatively [1–4].
