Participants reported the user friendliness of the SDM by completing the systems usability (SUS) questionnaire and participated in a focus group to further elaborate on their experience. Results: Eleven participants completed the survey 45% each between age 31-40, and 51-60. Median time spent on the tool was 17.2 minutes, and median SUS score 70 (<68 being not usable). Thematic data analysis from 2 focus groups, identified technical and content improvements: use of inclusive language, simplified design, and importance of patient engagement in SDM. Conclusions: Based on our preliminary results, a SDM web-tool for medication-related concerns of pregnant patients with neurological conditions is needed and usable. With integration of patients’ lived experiences, this novel tool may serve as an anchor point for future work in this field.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141100296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Canada, sulthiame is only available through Health Canada’s Special Access Program. Methods: Patients who received sulthiame at the Montreal Children’s Hospital from April 2012 to March 2023 were included. Patients’ medical charts were reviewed, and clinical data was extracted from neurology clinic notes and electroencephalogram (EEG) reports. Efficacy was assessed by comparing seizure frequency and frequency of EEG epileptiform abnormalities before and after initiating sulthiame, while also noting any reported changes in cognition or behaviour. Results: Sixteen patients were included (10 males, 6 females), all of whom had drug-resistant epilepsy and continuous spike-wave in sleep (CSWS) on EEG. Sulthiame starting dose ranged from 0.74 to 6.75 mg/kg/day. Improvement, either in terms of seizure control, cognition, or reduction in EEG epileptiform abnormalities, was reported in 8/16 children (50%). Two patients (13%) became seizure free, while three more (19%) had reduced seizure frequency. Three other patients (19%) had reported improvements in concentration, learning abilities or behaviour. No serious adverse event was reported.

This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of synthetic data in the context of neuro-oncology research, comparing findings from two published studies with results from synthetic datasets. Methods: Two published neuro-oncology studies focusing on prognostic factors such as serum albumin and systemic inflammation scores were selected, and their methodologies were replicated using MDClone Platform to generate five synthetic datasets for each. We used Chi-Square test to assess inter-variability between synthetic datasets. Survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and t-test was used to determine statistical significance. Results: Findings from synthetic data consistently matched outcomes from both original articles, with serum albumin and systemc inflammation scores correlating with survival prognosis in glioblastoma and metastasis patients (p<0.05) Reported findings, demographic trends and survival outcomes showed significant similarity (P > 0.05) with synthetic datasets.

Results: Over the study period, 24 ETOA procedures were performed on 21 patients, with an average age of 48.92, 13 of whom were women. The superior orbital corridor was utilized in 95.83% of cases, and in 79.17%, ETOA was complemented by a transnasal approach. Spheno-orbital meningioma accounted for the most common surgical indication (33.33%, n=8), all resulting in vision improvement, followed by lateral frontal sinus mucocele (25%, n=6). The median length of stay was one day, and ETOA achieved the procedure goal in 19 patients. Transient V1 numbness was the primary complication (29.17%, n=7), and 20.83% (n=5) necessitated another surgery. Notably, no mortality was associated with this procedure.

Despite predicting cognitive decline and physical, emotional, and social functioning, Grit remains poorly understood and its neural substrates are unknown in cognitive aging. Methods: Ninety-five cognitively unimpaired older adults with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease were recruited through the PREVENT-AD longitudinal cohort. Participants completed tests that assess grit and conscientiousness and underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Multivariate pattern analyses (MVPA), a rigorous data-driven whole-brain approach, were used to examine if resting-state functional connectivity of connectome-wide voxels were associated with grit scores, controlling for age, sex, APOE ε4 carriership, mean displacement, and conscientiousness. Results: Our analyses identified two large (≥54 voxels) and statistically significant (p<0.01 corrected for family-wise error) clusters in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the left orbitofrontal cortex underlying grit. Conclusions: Being the first to identify functional neural correlates supporting grit in the aging population while accounting for the variance of conscientiousness, our study provides unique insights into the construct which has important applications in adherence to clinical and empirical neurological interventions as well as in successful aging.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141102538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge of environmental triggers for migraine attacks is limited, and has mostly been studied via emergency room (ER) visits. There are significant barriers and delays for attending ER for migraine treatment, which create challenges for estimating causal links to environmental exposures. We assessed whether smartphone app records may have fewer barriers and reduced lags. Methods: American and Canadian participants completed an online survey about their migraine attacks, smartphone app use, and ER visits. Results: Among 308 participants, barriers to visiting ER were similar in both countries, except for financial concerns in the US. About half of participants who attended ER also recorded the attack in a diary or app. Whereas migraine patients often present to ER 7+ days after onset, records in a smartphone app dataset were created within 2 days of onset. Conclusions: Although not all severe migraine attacks are recorded by smartphone users, smartphone app records may have fewer barriers to creation and shorter time lags compared to ER visit records, making them a rich source of data for research on transient neurologic health outcomes and environmental exposures.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"3 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141098612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A systematic review was conducted from January 1st, 2000, until June 2022. Study characteristics, frailty tools, measures of sarcopenia, component domains, individual items, cut-off values, and measurement techniques were collected. Clinimetric assessment was performed according to Consensus-based Standards for Health Measurement Instruments. Results: Twenty-two studies were included (42,514 patients). The three most employed frailty tools were the Metastatic Spine tumor Frailty Index (MSTFI), Modified Frailty Index-11 (mFI-11), and the mFI-5. The three most common sarcopenia measures were the L3-Total Psoas Area (TPA)/Vertebral Body Area (VBA), L3-TPA/Height2, and L3-Spinal Muscle Index (L3-Cross-Sectional Muscle Area/Height2). Frailty and sarcopenia measures lacked content and construct validity. Positive predictive validity was observed in select studies employing the HFRS, mFI-5, MSTFI, and L3-TPA/VBA. All frailty tools had floor or ceiling effects. Conclusions: Existing tools for evaluating frailty and sarcopenia in surgical spine oncology have poor clinimetric properties.

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent stereotactic RFA for TLE were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, procedural details, and seizure outcomes until last follow-up were abstracted. Seizure-freedom after initial RFA treatment was estimated with Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: 27 patients underwent RFA from 1994 to 2002. There were 14 female (52%) patients. 24 (89%) had mesial temporal sclerosis. Mean age at time of RFA was 33.1 years (range 12-45 years). 17 (63%) patients underwent left-sided RFA. 15 (56%) patients had further interventions: 4 (15%) underwent only repeat RFA, 1 (4%) had repeat RFA and anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), and 10 (37%) underwent subsequent ATL only. Mean follow-up was 9.0 years (range 0.5-22.7 years). At last follow-up, 16 (59%) patients were seizure-free: 5 (19%) received one RFA treatment and 11 (41%) underwent additional procedures.
