Issues in brain mapping...EEG patterns of encephalopathies and altered state ...Professor Yasser Metwally
The document discusses the usefulness of electroencephalography (EEG) in evaluating brain function and various neurological conditions. It provides details on normal EEG patterns and how they change with age. Various abnormal EEG patterns are associated with different types of encephalopathies (diffuse brain dysfunction), including triphasic waves in metabolic encephalopathy and anterior theta-delta activity with superimposed alpha in sedative drug intoxication. EEG can also help assess severity of encephalopathy and prognosis based on degree of background slowing and reactivity.
A study found neurochemical and histopathological changes in the cerebellum of a rat model of Parkinson's disease induced by injecting rotenone into the rats' striatum. Specifically, the study found evidence of hyperexcitability in the cerebellum, as indicated by increased levels of excitatory neurotransmitters glutamate and aspartate and decreased levels of inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA, glycine, and taurine. This suggests that Parkinson's disease may affect the cerebellum in addition to the basal ganglia, changing the focus of treatment strategies beyond just restoring dopamine levels.
The document discusses normal EEG patterns in various age groups from neonatal to adulthood. In neonates, the EEG pattern depends on gestational age and includes discontinuity in premature infants. In infancy and early childhood, the posterior dominant rhythm increases in frequency and reactivity emerges. By adolescence, the EEG begins to resemble the adult pattern with less delta activity. The normal adult EEG shows an alpha rhythm over the occipital lobe that attenuates with eye opening. Theta is only present in sleep while delta is never seen in awake adults.
This document discusses EEG patterns in neonates. It describes the four typical EEG patterns seen in full-term neonates related to wakefulness and sleep cycles. It also summarizes EEG maturation in preterm neonates and discusses abnormal EEG patterns including severe abnormalities that indicate poor prognosis and mild abnormalities. The document outlines different ictal EEG patterns associated with neonatal seizures and technical aspects important for neonatal EEG recording.

This document discusses different types of brain waves seen on EEGs, including alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves. It then summarizes several common epilepsy syndromes such as benign centrotemporal lobe epilepsy of childhood, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, childhood absence epilepsy, and others. It provides examples of EEG findings associated with these conditions, such as Rolandic spikes, generalized spike and wave discharges, and hypsarrhythmic patterns.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that result from abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. A seizure occurs when there is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain, which can cause changes in behavior, movements or feelings. Epilepsy is defined as two or more unprovoked seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart, or one unprovoked seizure with a high risk of further seizures. Treatment involves identifying and treating any underlying causes, medication to control seizures, surgery to remove the seizure focus in the brain, or vagus nerve stimulation.
The document discusses biological rhythms and sleep-wake cycles. It describes circadian rhythms controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus and influenced by factors like light and temperature. Two drives regulate sleep - a homeostatic drive that increases with wakefulness, and a circadian drive controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Neurons in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus promote sleep by inhibiting wake-promoting areas. The document also discusses EEG patterns in different sleep stages, including spindles in stage 2 and delta waves in stage 3. It mentions the role of orexin/hypocretin neurons in maintaining wakefulness and inhibiting REM sleep.
The document discusses guidelines for using amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) or cerebral function monitoring (CFM) to assess brain activity in newborns experiencing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or other neurological conditions. CFM can help predict outcomes from HIE by identifying abnormal brain activity in the first 6 hours after birth and detecting neonatal seizures. The document provides guidance on proper electrode placement and interpreting CFM readings to distinguish normal and abnormal brain activity patterns while avoiding common artifacts.
The document discusses the hypothalamus and sleep physiology. It describes the hypothalamus as a small brain structure connected to the pituitary gland that integrates somatic, autonomic, and endocrine functions. It contains nuclei that regulate various functions like temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone secretion. Regarding sleep, it states that sleep depth varies in stages and is characterized by decreased consciousness and body movement. Physiological changes during sleep include lowered heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tone.
Issues in brainmapping...The role of EEG in epileptic syndromes associated wi...Professor Yasser Metwally
1. EEG is essential for evaluating epilepsy and can provide information about background activity, epileptiform discharges, and help diagnose specific epilepsy syndromes.
2. The document discusses various epilepsy syndromes like symptomatic, cryptogenic, and idiopathic epilepsy and how EEG characteristics help differentiate these.
3. Specific syndromes discussed include infantile spasms and West syndrome, characterized by hypsarrhythmia on EEG, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, characterized by slow spike and wave activity on EEG.
This document summarizes key aspects of coma and brain stem death. It discusses the neurological structures involved in consciousness and what is required to induce coma. Coma is defined as unarousable unresponsiveness, distinguished from an alert state. Assessing a comatose patient involves obtaining history, performing a general and neurological exam including the Glasgow Coma Scale, and considering appropriate investigations and management. Brain death is defined as the irreversible loss of all brain functions including the brainstem, determined by coma, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea on testing.
This document discusses neonatal seizures. It begins by defining seizures and describing the different types seen in neonates. The most common type is subtle seizures. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is usually the most common cause, especially within the first 24 hours. Other common causes include intracranial hemorrhage and metabolic disorders. Phenobarbital is the first-line treatment, with phenytoin and benzodiazepines as second-line options. Seizures from subarachnoid hemorrhage or late-onset hypocalcemia typically carry a good prognosis, while those associated with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral malformations or meningitis usually have a poorer neurological outcome.
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare, neurodegenerative, inherited disorder causing severe disability that is characterized by ataxia (difficulty controlling movement), telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels), and immunodeficiency. It is caused by mutations in the ATM gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, requiring mutations from both parents. There is no cure for A-T, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms through physical, occupational and speech therapies.
Status epilepticus is a medical emergency characterized by prolonged or continuous seizure activity without recovery between seizures. It can be convulsive, involving muscle contractions and loss of consciousness, or nonconvulsive with episodes of staring and unresponsiveness. Immediate treatment is needed to prevent permanent brain or heart damage. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms, medical history, and tests like bloodwork, EEG, or brain imaging. Treatment focuses on stopping seizures and managing complications through medications, injury prevention, and educating patients and their families on self-care and coping strategies.
A review of epilepsy in the elderly, the etiopathogenesis, clinical challenges, diagnosis, use of antiseizure drugs and outcomes. Also the various special considerations in managing elderly patients with epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in the elderly population. Incidence and prevalence of both seizures and epilepsy are highest in those over age 75. The most common causes of epilepsy in the elderly are cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors, and dementia. Seizures may present differently in elderly patients, often appearing as subtle changes in mental status rather than overt convulsions. Treatment involves identifying and managing the underlying cause, with antiseizure drugs chosen based on safety and tolerability over efficacy due to increased risk of interactions and side effects. Careful dosing and monitoring is needed due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
EEG Lecture 3: Artifacts and Benign EEG variantsmunnam37
This document discusses various types of artefacts and benign EEG variants that may appear on an EEG. It describes mechanical and biological artefacts such as eye movements, muscle activity, and environmental electrical interference. Several benign rhythmic activities are also outlined, including rhythmic temporal theta bursts seen in drowsiness, midline theta rhythms, and frontal arousal rhythms. Additionally, different types of epileptiform discharges that do not indicate epilepsy are explained, like 14-6 Hz positive bursts, small sharp spikes, 6 Hz spike and wave patterns, and wicket spikes. The document provides examples of each type with corresponding figures.
This document provides an overview of key concepts for visual analysis of EEG recordings, including:
1. Frequency, amplitude, distribution, symmetry, synchrony, reactivity, morphology, rhythmicity, and regulation are terms used to describe EEG activity.
2. Common normal brain rhythms include alpha, beta, and theta waves that have characteristic frequencies, distributions, and reactivity patterns.
3. Aging-related temporal slowing involving sporadic theta waves over the temporal regions is a normal variant seen in older adults.
This document provides information about electroencephalography (EEG) and how it is used to diagnose and classify epilepsy. It discusses how EEG detects abnormal brain wave patterns associated with seizures. Specific EEG patterns can help distinguish between different types of partial and generalized seizures. Partial seizures are localized to one area of the brain, while generalized seizures involve both hemispheres. Common seizure types discussed include simple and complex partial, absence, myoclonic, clonic, tonic, and tonic-clonic seizures. The EEG patterns that correspond to each seizure type are described to aid in diagnosis and classification of epilepsy.
1. A 27-year-old female presented with sudden loss of language over 2 days. She had a history of left parietal lobe trauma and hematoma requiring craniectomy at age 19. CT showed a new left parietal lobe lesion.
2. The diagnosis is aphasic status epilepticus, likely caused by the new left parietal lobe lesion seen on CT.
3. Status epilepticus is a medical emergency requiring prompt treatment to stop seizures and prevent complications. The goals of management are to maintain vital functions, stop seizures, identify and treat the underlying cause, and manage any sequelae.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

2. ORGANIZATION & AP GRADIENT
The organization of an EEG tracing refers, broadly, to how the waveforms appear across the
entirety of the page, and includes continuity, symmetry, and the anterior posterior gradient.
Continuity refers to the waveforms being uninterrupted by periods of flat or very attenuated
activity. Healthy children and adults should always have a continuous record, but early neonatal
tracings can show periods of discontinuity (this is discussed further in the neonatal and pediatric
section). Below are examples of both a continuous and discontinuous record.
The next component of organization is symmetry, in which both the left and right sides appear,
largely, the same in terms of both amplitude and frequency. Healthy EEGs should always be
symmetric, and intermittent or persistent asymmetries can arise from structural entities such as
tumors or bleeds. Changes in symmetry can be subtle, but note how on the asymmetric example
below how the left hemisphere has higher amplitude, slower delta activity compared to the right
side.
Continuous Discontinuous
^
3. In addition to symmetry and continuity, consider the anterior posterior gradient, in which
faster, lower amplitude frequencies are present towards the front of the brain while slower, higher
amplitude frequencies are found in the back of the brain. The AP gradient leads into the last
component of organization, the posterior dominant rhythm (PDR), discussed in the next section.
