TL;DR: CCEEG has an important role in detection of secondary injuries such as seizures and ischemia in critically ill adults and children with altered mental status.

TL;DR: In the early 2000s, a subcommittee of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) set out to standardize terminology of periodic and rhythmic EEG patterns in the critically ill to aid in future research involving such patterns as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This handbook is a highly useful tool for residents, fellows, clinicians, and neurophysiology technologists looking for quick and reliable EEG information, regardless of specialty or level of training.

TL;DR: Genome-wide screens to identify copy number variation in patients with a diverse spectrum of epilepsy syndromes and in neurologically-normal controls implicate 16p13.11 and possibly other large deletions as risk factors for a wide range of epilepsy disorders, and they appear to point toward haploinsufficiency as a contributor to the pathogenicity of deletions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of 16p13.11 deletions, as well as other structural variation, in epilepsy disorders, was evaluated using genome-wide screens to identify copy number variation in 3812 patients with a diverse spectrum of epilepsy syndromes and in 1299 neurologically normal controls.
