Background
Confusional migraine is a rare type of migraine presenting as an acute confusional state. However, the mechanism of this confusional state remains unclear.Subject and methods
We examined an 11-year-old girl with confusional migraine, using electroencephalography, brain magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrovascular magnetic resonance angiography, and single-photon emission computed tomography to investigate cerebral blood flow changes.Results
Our findings revealed vessel narrowing in the left middle and posterior cerebral artery territory, indicating vasospasm and suggesting that the confusion was caused by hypoperfusion. However, abnormal increased cerebral blood flow in the left middle and posterior cerebral artery territory was observed during the non-confusional state.Conclusion
The recorded cerebral blood flow changes are similar to those associated with migraine attacks, gradually changing from abnormally low to abnormally high during the confusional and post-confusional state. 相似文献2.

Aim
To clarify the morphologic characteristics of the brain, which are the foundation of the emergence of general movements (GMs) in very-low-birth-weight infants.Study design
Prospective cohort study. GMs were scored according to a semiquantitative scoring system: the GMs optimality score (GMOS) at preterm and term ages. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age was scored using a validated scoring system (MRI score). We examined the relationship between the two scores by multiple regression analysis with relevant clinical background.Subjects
We included 50 very-low-birth-weight infants cared for at Oita University Hospital from August 2012 to August 2018 who underwent MRI and GMs assessment. Their median gestational age and birth weight were 29w2d and 1145?g, respectively.Results
The MRI score and systemic steroid administration were related to preterm GMOS, and the MRI score was related to term GMOS. The component cerebellum score and cortical grey matter score of the MRI score were associated with preterm GMOS, and the cerebellum and the cerebral white matter scores were associated with term GMOS.Conclusion
The quality of GMs was associated with brain morphological development. The co-evaluation of GMs and brain morphology leads to accurate developmental prediction. 相似文献3.

Objective
The present work aims to evaluate the significance of sleep disturbance and electroencephalogram (EEG) alteration in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD).Background and Rationale
Sleep disturbance is common in patients with AD. It is not known if it can occur at the early stage of AD and if EEG recording may help identify the early sign of the disease.Historical Evolution
Sleep disturbance in AD has generally been considered as late consequence of the neurodegenerative process. A growing body of evidence has suggested that the sleep disturbance may occur at the early stage of AD.Updated Hypothesis
Based on the previous epidemiologic studies and our recent findings, we propose that sleep disturbance may play an important role in the development of AD. Sleep EEG changes may serve as a valuable early sign for AD in the prepathological stage.Early Experimental Data
Our data suggested that AβPPswe/PS1ΔE9 transgenic AD mice at preplaque stage (3 and 4 months of age) exhibited different profile of sleep architecture and sleep EEG, which preceded the cognitive deficit and AD neuropathology.Future Experiments and Validation Studies
Future experiments should focus on sleep EEG changes in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early stage of AD. Follow-up studies in high-risk population of the elderly are equally important. In addition, the exact molecular mechanism underlying the sleep disturbance should be thoroughly investigated.Major Challenges for the Hypothesis
Studies on human participants with early stage of AD, especially the follow-up studies on the presymptomatic elderly in a large population, are difficult and time-consuming.Linkage to Other Major Theories
Our hypothesis may link previous theories to establish a bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and AD, which may finally form a new schematic mechanism to understand the disease pathogenesis and disease progression. 相似文献4.

Introduction
Epilepsy with continuous spike-waves during slow sleep syndrome (CSWSS) is characterized by various seizure types, a characteristic EEG pattern and neuropsychological disorders. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of CSWSS occurred in childhood and to evaluate the variables that could influence the quality of social adaptation and the personality profile.Material and methods
This is a prospective study on 24 young adults with previous CSWSS (median age 24.5?yrs) who were enrolled between January and July 2011 at the G. Gaslini Children’s Hospital, Genoa, Italy. Patients were divided into two groups: twelve with previous spike-wave index (SWI?>?85%) defined as typical CSWSS (T-CSWSS) and twelve with previous SWI?=?50–85% defined as atypical CSWSS (A-CSWSS). All the subjects were submitted to Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI), and to a structured interview.Results
A correlation was observed with the severity of EEG abnormalities expressed by the SWI and outcome. The T-CSWSS group showed a significantly lower perceived well-being. Similarly in the T-CSWSS group the percentage of MMPI-2 clinical scales with T-scores ≥65 was higher than in the A-CSWSS group. Finally, a significant lower schooling in the T-CSWSS group was observed.Conclusion
There seem to be two forms of the same disease, with similar onset and clinical evolution but a different outcome regarding the social and psychological conditions. The outcome of the social adaptation and of the personality consciousness was related with the severity of the EEG abnormalities: more favorable in patients with less intense SWI activity (A-CSWSS) compared those with a more severe EEG impairment (T-CSWSS). 相似文献5.

Background
Arousal and sleep represent basic domains of behavior, and alterations are of high clinical importance.Objective/hypothesis
The aim of this study was to further elucidate the neurobiology of insomnia disorder (ID) and the potential for new treatment developments, based on the modulation of cortical activity through the non-invasive brain stimulation technique transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Specifically, we tested the hypotheses that bi-frontal anodal tDCS shortens and cathodal tDCS prolongs total sleep time in patients with ID, compared to sham stimulation. Furthermore, we tested for differences in indices of arousal between ID patients and healthy controls and explored their potential impact on tDCS effects.Methods
Nineteen ID patients underwent a within-subject repeated-measures sleep laboratory study with adaptation, baseline and three experimental nights. Bifrontal anodal, cathodal and sham tDCS was delivered in a counterbalanced order immediately prior to sleep. Wake EEG was recorded prior to and after tDCS as well as on the following morning. Subsequently, we compared patients with ID to a healthy control group from an earlier dataset.Results
Against our hypothesis, we did not observe any tDCS effects on sleep continuity or sleep architecture in patients with ID. Further analyses of nights without stimulation demonstrated significantly increased levels of arousal in ID patients compared to healthy controls, as indexed by subjective reports, reduced total sleep time, increased wake after sleep onset and increased high frequency EEG power during wakefulness and NREM sleep. Of note, indices of increased arousal predicted the lack of effect of tDCS in ID patients.Conclusions
Our study characterizes for the first time differential effects of tDCS on sleep in patients with ID and healthy controls, presumably related to persistent hyperarousal in ID. These findings suggest that adapted tDCS protocols need to be developed to modulate arousal and sleep dependent on baseline arousal levels. 相似文献6.

Background
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG Abs) are frequently detected in pediatric acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS), and MOG-Ab-positive ADS differs from multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4)-Ab-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in terms of age distribution, therapeutic response, and prognosis.Methods
Based on medical records, we retrospectively evaluated patients with MOG-Ab-positive NMOSD treated in the acute phase who were followed up in the chronic phase at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2017.Results
The patients comprised two boys and two girls aged 3–12 (median, 8) years. Peak MOG-Ab titers were 1:2048 to 1:32768 (median, 1:10240), and the relapse rate ranged from 0 to 1.25 times/year (median, 0.59 times/year); no sequelae were observed in any cases. Lesions other than those of optic neuritis were distributed at the cortex in one patient, subcortical white matter in four, deep white matter in three, and brainstem in one, all of which were disseminated lesions. No lesions were found in the corpus callosum, periventricular white matter, diencephalon, and regions adjacent to the third and fourth ventricles. The lesions tended to be asymptomatic, and two patients aged >5?years had well-demarcated lesions.Conclusion
All the patients showed disseminated lesions in the subcortical region to deep white matter, which were different from those found in MS and AQP4-Ab-positive NMOSD and were consistent with the characteristics of brain lesions in MOG-Ab-positive ADS, including other disease types. 相似文献7.
Purpose
Motor skill screening tools are essential for the early detection of developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The present study aimed to examine any cultural and rater effects on these tools. This then enabled us to judge the validity of the original cut-off values for identifying diagnosable children.Methods
A community sample survey was performed in Japan; 3852 children aged 6–9?years were recruited. Both parents and teachers evaluated the motor skills of their children using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition Checklist. The psychometric properties were evaluated and the scoring characteristics examined based on the type of rater and country of origin, as compared to data originally sampled in the UK.Results
High reliability and validity of the Japanese samples were confirmed. The Japanese adults evaluated their children’s motor skills more rigorously than the Europeans. Additionally, there was a large disagreement between parent and teacher rating scores; the degree of agreement varied depending on the severity of motor deficits in the child.Conclusion
The first findings from a Japanese sample suggest that the assessment of motor skills in children is significantly affected by culture and rater. These cultural characteristics and rater biases strongly suggest that new cut-off values, reflecting country and rater type, be introduced for identifying children at risk of DCD. 相似文献8.

Objective
We aimed to clarify the current status of pharmacotherapy for tic disorders and comorbidities in Japan. We used a systematic survey to collate the consensus of Japanese experts and compare it with the recent international evidence.Methods
We devised a questionnaire on pharmacotherapy for tics and comorbidities and sent it to Japanese experts on tic disorders. Based on the response to the first survey, we revised the questionnaire and conducted a second survey to determine the consensus among the experts on a 4-point Likert scale by the Delphi method.Results
The first survey revealed variability in preferred medications and dosages among the experts in Japan. However, we were able to build a general consensus on pharmacotherapy for tic disorders and comorbidities based on the second survey. Aripiprazole and risperidone were the first- and second-line medication for tic disorders, respectively. Agonists of α-2 adrenergic receptors were seldom prescribed. Fluvoxamine was the first-line medication for comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder, and atomoxetine for comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.Conclusions
This study will help Japanese physicians choose medications for tic disorders more judiciously and will improve the quality of tic pharmacotherapy in Japan. 相似文献9.

Background
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method to stimulate localized brain regions. Despite widespread use in motor cortex, TMS is seldom performed in sensory areas due to variable, qualitative metrics.Objective
Assess the reliability and validity of tracing phosphenes, and to investigate the stimulation parameters necessary to elicit decreased visual cortex excitability with paired-pulse TMS at short inter-stimulus intervals.Methods
Across two sessions, single and paired-pulse recruitment curves were derived by having participants outline elicited phosphenes and calculating resulting average phosphene sizes.Results
Phosphene size scaled with stimulus intensity, similar to motor cortex. Paired-pulse recruitment curves demonstrated inhibition at lower conditioning stimulus intensities than observed in motor cortex. Reliability was high across sessions.Conclusions
TMS-induced phosphenes are a valid and reliable tool for measuring cortical excitability and inhibition in early visual areas. Our results also provide appropriate stimulation parameters for measuring short-latency intracortical inhibition in visual cortex. 相似文献10.

Background
Sensory processing difficulties, which commonly occur in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are expected to have negative effects on the primary caregiver’s mental health. The aim of this study was to examine the association between sensory processing difficulties in children with ASD and the mental health of primary caregivers.Methods
A total of 707 primary caregivers (mothers in the present study) and their children with ASD (4–18?years of age) participated in this study. Sensory processing difficulties were indexed using the Short Sensory Profile (SSP). The mental health of primary caregivers was indexed using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12).Results
Higher scores on Auditory Filtering as measured with the SSP were associated with poorer mental health of primary caregivers, even after an adjustment for ASD symptom severity. Analyses of two age sub-groups, a young (4–10?years) and an old age group (11–18?years), revealed that higher scores on Tactile Sensitivity and Auditory Filtering were associated with poorer mental health of primary caregivers in younger children, whereas only higher scores on Auditory Filtering were associated with poorer mental health of primary caregivers in older children.Conclusions
Our findings suggest that practitioners who support primary caregivers of children with ASD need to focus not only on the social and communication-related symptoms of the child but also on their specific sensory processing difficulties. 相似文献11.

Background
Temporal lobe epilepsy is most prevalent among focal epilepsies, and nearly one-third of patients are refractory to pharmacological intervention. Persistent cognitive and neurobehavioral comorbidities also occur due to the recurrent nature of seizures and medication-related side effects.Hypothesis
Electrical neuromodulation is an effective strategy to reduce seizures both in animal models and clinically, but its efficacy to modulate cognition remains unclear. We hypothesized that theta frequency stimulation of the medial septum would increase septohippocampal oscillations, increase seizure threshold, and improve spatial learning in a rat model of pilocarpine-induced epilepsy.Methods
Sham and pilocarpine rats were implanted with electrodes in the medial septum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. EEG was assessed days prior to and following stimulation. Sham and pilocarpine-treated rats received either no stimulation, continuous (throughout each behavior), or pre-task (one minute prior to each behavior) 7.7?Hz septal stimulation during the Barnes maze spatial navigation test and also during assessment of flurothyl-induced seizures.Results
Both continuous and pre-task stimulation prevented epilepsy-associated reductions in theta oscillations over time. Additionally, both stimulation paradigms significantly improved spatial navigation in the Barnes maze, reducing latency and improving search strategy. Moreover, stimulation led to significant increases in seizure threshold in pilocarpine-treated rats. There was no evidence of cognitive enhancement or increased seizure threshold in stimulated sham rats.Conclusion
These findings have profound implications as theta stimulation of the septum represents a single frequency and target that has the potential to both improve cognition and reduce seizures for patients with refractory epilepsy. 相似文献12.

Objective
This study measured the serum carnitine levels in patients with epilepsy and determined the factors contributing to low carnitine levels.Methods
We measured the serum carnitine levels in 94 consecutive patients with epilepsy, including the free carnitine (FC) and acylcarnitine fractions, using an enzyme cycling method. We defined a low FC as a serum FC level?<?36?μmol/L. Age, body mass index (BMI), standard deviation score of BMI (BMI-SDS), use of valproate, cognitive disorder, and feeding problems differed between patients with low and normal FC. In patients taking valproate, the associations of the serum FC level with the platelet count and serum ammonia and amylase levels were analyzed.Results
Univariate analysis showed that a low BMI and BMI-SDS, the use of valproate, and cognitive disorder were more frequent in patients with a low FC. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a low BMI-SDS and cognitive disorders were independently associated with a low FC. Among the patients taking valproate, a low BMI-SDS and age were associated with a low FC. The serum FC and ammonia levels were inversely correlated, whereas no correlation was observed between the serum FC level and platelet count or serum amylase level.Conclusion
A low BMI and cognitive disorders were related to a low FC in patients with epilepsy and the serum carnitine levels should be monitored in these patients. 相似文献13.

Introduction
We evaluated whether hospitalization with or without surgery increases risk for dementia or Alzheimer's disease.Methods
A clinical sample (843 clinically diagnosed dementia cases; 1686 matched nondemented individuals) was identified from Swedish Twin Registry studies. A register-based sample (4293 cases; 21,465 matched controls) was identified by linkage of Swedish Twin Registry to Swedish Patient Registry records. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) status and within-pair comparisons of dementia discordant twins indicated genetic susceptibility.Results
Nonsurgical hospitalization is associated with greater dementia risk than hospitalization with surgical intervention. In the register sample, thoracic, abdominal, and major orthopedic procedures entailed dementia risk; in the clinical sample, orthopedic alone. Within-pair analyses indicate that associations in part reflect genetic susceptibility in common to hospitalization and dementia. Potential gene-environment interactions were indicated by greater risk due to hospitalization among APOE ε4 noncarriers.Discussion
We confirm hospitalization as a risk factor for dementia, with repeated hospitalizations a more important risk factor than surgery. 相似文献14.

Objective
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyridoxal for treating West syndrome.Methods
We retrospectively investigated pyridoxal’s efficacy and safety in 117 patients with West syndrome at Saitama Children’s Medical Center from July 1993 to May 2016. Pyridoxal was administered at doses of 10–50?mg/kg/day. We evaluated seizure outcomes and electroencephalographic findings at 4?weeks after pyridoxal therapy. The responders were those with complete cessation of spasms for more than 4?weeks and those with resolution of hypsarrhythmia on EEG at 1–4?weeks after pyridoxal therapy.Results
Five of the 117 patients (4.3%) were responders. The median duration between pyridoxal therapy to spasm cessation was 6 (5–13) days. Among the responders, four had hypsarrhythmia resolution, no spasm relapse, and no other seizure types more than 2?years after pyridoxal therapy. One responder had partial seizures and spasm relapse. No serious adverse effects occurred. There were no significant differences in sex, etiologies, complication, other seizure types preceding the spasms, onset age of spasms, age of pyridoxal therapy, treatment lag, initial and maintenance doses of pyridoxal, and adverse effects between pyridoxal responders and non-responders.Conclusions
The efficacy rate of pyridoxal monotherapy as first-line treatment for West syndrome was low. However, pyridoxal therapy showed a rapid response within 1?week and was safe. We consider pyridoxal therapy as a kind of challenge therapy during the evaluation period concerning differential diagnosis and etiologies of West syndrome and immunological risks before adrenocorticotrophic hormone therapy or vigabatrin therapy. 相似文献15.

Background
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a new, non-invasive technique being investigated as an intervention for a variety of clinical disorders, including epilepsy and depression. It is thought to exert its therapeutic effect by increasing central norepinephrine (NE) activity, but the evidence supporting this notion is limited.Objective
In order to test for an impact of tVNS on psychophysiological and hormonal indices of noradrenergic function, we applied tVNS in concert with assessment of salivary alpha amylase (SAA) and cortisol, pupil size, and electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings.Methods
Across three experiments, we applied real and sham tVNS to 61 healthy participants while they performed a set of simple stimulus-discrimination tasks. Before and after the task, as well as during one break, participants provided saliva samples and had their pupil size recorded. EEG was recorded throughout the task. The target for tVNS was the cymba conchae, which is heavily innervated by the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. Sham stimulation was applied to the ear lobe.Results
P3 amplitude was not affected by tVNS (Experiment 1A: N?=?24; Experiment 1B: N?=?20; Bayes factor supporting null model?=?4.53), nor was pupil size (Experiment 2: N?=?16; interaction of treatment and time: p?=?.79). However, tVNS increased SAA (Experiments 1A and 2: N?=?25) and attenuated the decline of salivary cortisol compared to sham (Experiment 2: N?=?17), as indicated by significant interactions involving treatment and time (p?=?.023 and p?=?.040, respectively).Conclusion
These findings suggest that tVNS modulates hormonal indices but not psychophysiological indices of noradrenergic function. 相似文献16.

Objective
We investigated cognitive reappraisal in children with ADHD by means of the late positive potential (LPP) and self-report ratings. We expected diminished LPP modulation following reappraisal and lower self-report scores in children with ADHD.Methods
Eighteen children with ADHD and 24 typically developing (TD) children (8–12 years) performed a cognitive reappraisal task, while EEG was recorded, and filled out a questionnaire on cognitive reappraisal.Results
Despite the lack of main reappraisal effects on LPP, the LPP was less positively modulated during reappraisal in ADHD compared to TD children.Conclusions
Children with ADHD reported less use of reappraisal and could be distinguished from TD children based on LPP modulation. However the lack of main effects of reappraisal on LPP in both groups hinders clear interpretation of this finding and questions the suitability of LPP modulation within the current paradigm as a neural index of reappraisal in children 8–12 years old, and warrants further research on the inter-individual variability and sensitivity of LPP modulation as a neural index of emotion regulation in children.Significance
This is the first study investigating the LPP during cognitive reappraisal in children with ADHD. 相似文献17.

Objective
To examine the relationship between the catch-up growth of preterm, SGA children and their behavioral development.Methods
We analyzed data from a large Japanese, nationwide, population-based, longitudinal survey that started in 2001. We restricted the study participants to preterm children with information on height at 2?years of age (n?=?1667). Catch-up growth for SGA infants was defined as achieving a height at 2?years of age above ?2.0 standard deviations for chronological age. We then used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the associations of SGA/catch-up status with neurobehavioral development both at 5.5 and 8?years of age, adjusting for potential infant- and parent-related confounding factors.Results
Twenty-six percent of preterm SGA infants failed to catch up. SGA children without catch-up growth were more likely to be unable to listen without fidgeting (OR 2.51, 95% CI: 1.06–5.93) and unable to focus on one task (OR 2.66, 95% CI: 1.09–6.48) compared with non-SGA children at 5.5?years of age. Furthermore, SGA children without catch-up growth were at significant risk for inattention at 8?years of age.Conclusions
SGA infants with poor postnatal growth were at risk for attention problems throughout preschool-age to school-age among preterm infants. Early detection and intervention for attention problems among these infants is warranted. 相似文献18.

Introduction
Resting energy expenditure (REE) is expected to be lower in with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) patients than in healthy subjects because of their relatively low fat-free mass (FFM). Therefore, an REE predictive equation for SMID patients may be required. The aim of this study was to validate existing REE predictive weight-based equations (Harris-Benedict, WHO, Mifflin, Owen, Schofield) and FFM-based REE equations (Mifflin, Owen and Cunningham) and to develop a new SMID patient-specific FFM-based REE equation.Methods
Twenty-eight (22 males, 6 females) SMID patients over 18?years of age were included. The REE was measured using indirect calorimetry. FFM were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to develop a new FFM-based REE predictive equation. The accurate predictions compared the measured REE and root mean square error.Results
The median measured REE was 950 (25th,75th percentile:712.75, 1102.75) kcal/day. The new FFM-based equation was as follows: REE (kcal/day)?=?550.62?+?16.62 FFM (kg). The new FFM-based REE resulted in the highest percentage of accurate predictions within 10% of measured REE (42.9%). The root mean square errors were the smallest for the new FFM-based REE and largest for Harris-Benedict (91.00 and 185.22?kcal/day).Conclusion
For SMID patients, the REE cannot accurately be predicted using the existing weight-based REE equations. Furthermore, the existing FFM-based REE equations are less accurate with regard to the measured REE than the new FFM-based REE equation. The new FFM-based equation is advised for use in SMID patients. 相似文献19.

Background
Repetitive convergent inputs to a single post-synaptic neuron can induce long-term potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD) of synaptic activity in a spike timing-dependent manner.Objective
Here we set a protocol of visual paired associative stimulation (vPAS) of the primary visual cortex (V1) in humans to induce persistent changes in the excitatory properties of V1 with a spike timing rule.Methods
We provided convergent inputs to V1 by coupling transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) pulses of the occipital cortex with peripheral visual inputs, at four interstimulus intervals of ?50/-25/+25/+50 ms relative to the visual evoked potential (VEP) P1 latency. We analysed VEP amplitude and delayed habituation before and up to 10 min after each vPAS protocol.Results
VEP amplitude was reduced after vPAS+25. Delayed VEP habituation was increased after vPAS-25 while it was reduced after vPAS+25.Conclusions
We provide evidence that associative bidirectional synaptic plasticity is a feature not only of the sensorimotor but also of the human visual system. 相似文献20.
