Oscillatory Bursting As A Mechanism For Temporal Coupling And Information Coding, I. Tal, S. Neymotin, S. Bickel, P. Lakatos, C. E. Schroeder

Journal Articles

© Copyright © 2020 Tal, Neymotin, Bickel, Lakatos and Schroeder. Even the simplest cognitive processes involve interactions between cortical regions. To study these processes, we usually rely on averaging across several repetitions of a task or across long segments of data to reach a statistically valid conclusion. Neuronal oscillations reflect synchronized excitability fluctuations in ensembles of neurons and can be observed in electrophysiological recordings in the presence or absence of an external stimulus. Oscillatory brain activity has been viewed as sustained increase in power at specific frequency bands. However, this perspective has been challenged in recent years by the notion …

Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation Lead Fracture Within The Superficial Fascial Layers In 4 Cases, K. B. Chapman, K. V. Patel, N. Van Helmond, G. C. Chien Jan 2020

Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation Lead Fracture Within The Superficial Fascial Layers In 4 Cases, K. B. Chapman, K. V. Patel, N. Van Helmond, G. C. Chien

Journal Articles

We present 4 cases of dorsal root ganglion stimulation lead fracture. In these cases, the surgical technique involved (1) traversing fascial layers for placement of leads via a Tuohy needle in the upper low back, (2) subcutaneous tunneling from the implantable pulse generator site to the lead puncture site without dissecting below the superficial fascial plane at the puncture site, and (3) connection of the lead/extension with the generator. All fractures occurred adjacent to the original lead puncture site. These cases suggest lead entrapment within the membranous fascial plane, with tension on a thin lead, is a mechanism underlying lead …

Unilateral Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation Lead Placement With Resolution Of Bilateral Lower Extremity Symptoms In Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy., K. B. Chapman, B. W. Van Roosendaal, N. Van Helmond, T. A. Yousef

Journal Articles

Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) is a form of neuromodulation that can target specific dermatomes to obtain better coverage of the distal extremity. Previously proposed mechanisms of action for DRG-S focused on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) itself, without consideration of orthodromic effects in the dorsal horn and antidromic effects on the nerve root and sympathetic chain. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is an axonal neuropathy that affects around half of all patients with diabetes mellitus, causing severe pain and sensory impairment in the distal extremities. We present a case of a patient with DPN in both feet, in addition to …

Teaching Professional Formation In Response To The Covid-19 Pandemic., L. B. Mccullough, J. Coverdale, F. A. Chervenak

Journal Articles

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Association of American Medical Colleges has called for a temporary suspension of clinical teaching activities for medical students. Planning for the continued involvement of learners in patient care during this pandemic should include teaching learners professional formation. The authors provide an ethical framework to guide such teaching, based on the ethical principle of beneficence and the professional virtues of courage and self-sacrifice from professional ethics in medicine. The authors show that these concepts support the conclusion that learners are ethically obligated to accept reasonable, but not unreasonable, risk. Based on this ethical framework, …

© 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected patients across all age groups, with a wide range of illness severity from asymptomatic carriers to severe multi-organ dysfunction and death. Although early reports have shown that younger age groups experience less severe disease than older adults, our understanding of this phenomenon is in continuous evolution. Recently, a severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), with active or recent COVID-19 infection, has been increasingly reported. Children with MIS-C may demonstrate signs and symptoms of Kawasaki disease, but also have some distinct differences. These children …
