    Abstract Brief exposure to repeated episodes of low inspired oxygen, or acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH), is a promising therapeutic modality to improve motor function after chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Although therapeutic AIH is under extensive investigation in persons with SCI, limited data are available concerning cardiorespiratory responses during and after AIH exposure despite implications for AIH safety and tolerability. Thus, we recorded immediate (during treatment) and enduring (up to 30 min post-treatment) cardiorespiratory responses to AIH in 19 participants with chronic SCI (>1 year post-injury; injury levels C1 to T6; American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A to D; mean age = 33.8 ± 14.1 years; 18 males). Participants completed a single AIH (15, 60-sec episodes, inspired O

    Abstract Rationale: Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) shows promise for enhancing motor recovery in chronic spinal cord injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. However, human trials of AIH have reported significant variability in individual responses.
    Objectives: Identify individual factors (eg, genetics, age, and sex) that determine response magnitude of healthy adults to an optimized AIH protocol, acute intermittent hypercapnic-hypoxia (AIHH).
    Methods: In 17 healthy individuals (age = 27 ± 5 yr), associations between individual factors and changes in the magnitude of AIHH (15, 1-min O2 = 9.5%, CO2 = 5% episodes) induced changes in diaphragm motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude and inspiratory mouth occlusion pressures (P0.1) were evaluated.

    Abstract Background: Standard treatment for eligible patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activators alteplase or tenecteplase. Current guidelines recommend monitoring patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) for 24 h after thrombolytic therapy. However, recent studies have questioned the need for prolonged ICU monitoring. This retrospective cohort study aims to identify potential candidates for early transition to a lower level of care by assessing risk factors for neurological deterioration, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), or need for ICU intervention within 24 h post-thrombolysis.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult patients 18 years and older with AIS who received thrombolysis. Patients were excluded if they were transferred to another facility, if they were transitioned to comfort care or hospice care within 24 h, or if they lacked imaging and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score data. The primary end point was incidence of sICH between 0-12 and 12-24 h. Secondary end points included the need for ICU intervention and rates of neurological deterioration.
    Results: The analysis included 204 patients who received the full dose of alteplase. Among them, ten patients (4.9%) developed sICH, with the majority (n = 7) occurring within 12 h post-thrombolysis. Sixty-two patients required ICU interventions within 12 h compared with four patients after 12 h. Twenty-four patients had neurological deterioration within 12 h, and seven patients had neurological deterioration after 12 h. Multivariable analysis identified mechanical thrombectomy and increased blood pressure at presentation as predictors of ICU need beyond 12 h post-thrombolysis.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that sICH, neurological deterioration, and need for ICU intervention rarely occur beyond 12 h after thrombolytic administration. Patients presenting with blood pressures < 140/90 mm Hg, NIHSS scores < 10, and not undergoing mechanical thrombectomy may be best candidates for early de-escalation. Larger prospective studies are needed to more fully evaluate the safety, feasibility, and financial impact of early transition out of the ICU.

    Abstract Objective: Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is a promising treatment for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy for whom resective surgery is not an option. The relative indications and risk for pediatric patients undergoing RNS therapy require further investigation. Here, the authors report their experience with RNS implantation and therapy in pediatric patients.
    Methods: The authors performed a retrospective chart review to identify patients implanted with RNS depth or strip electrodes for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy at their institution between 2020 and 2022. Patient demographics, surgical variables, and patient seizure outcomes (Engel class and International League Against Epilepsy [ILAE] reporting) were evaluated.
    Results: The authors identified 20 pediatric patients ranging in age from 8 to 21 years (mean 15 [SD 4] years), who underwent RNS implantation, including depth electrodes (n = 15), strip electrodes (n = 2), or both (n = 3). Patient seizure semiology, onset, and implantation strategy were heterogeneous, including bilateral centromedian nucleus (n = 5), mesial temporal lobe (n = 4), motor cortex or supplementary motor area (n = 7), or within an extratemporal epileptogenic zone (n = 4). There were no acute complications of RNS implantation (hemorrhage or stroke) or device malfunctions. One patient required rehospitalization for postoperative infection. At the longest follow-up (mean 10 [SD 7] months), 13% patients had Engel class IIB, 38% had Engel class IIIA, 6% had Engel class IIIB, 19% had Engel class IVA, 19% had Engel class IVB, and 6% had Engel class IVC outcomes. Using ILAE metrics, 6% were ILAE class 3, 25% were ILAE class 4, and 69% were ILAE class 5.
    Conclusions: This case series supports current literature suggesting that RNS is a safe and potentially effective surgical intervention for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The authors report comparable rates of serious adverse events to current RNS literature in pediatric and adult populations. Seizure outcomes may continue to improve with follow-up as stimulation strategy is refined and the chronic neuromodulatory effect evolves, as previously described in patients with RNS. Further large-scale, multicenter case series of RNS in pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are required to determine long-term pediatric safety and effectiveness.

    Abstract The diaphragmatic motor-evoked potential (MEP) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) permits electrophysiological assessment of the cortico-diaphragmatic pathway. Despite the value of TMS for investigating diaphragm motor integrity in health and disease, reliability of the technique has not been established. The study aim was to determine within- and between-session reproducibility of surface electromyogram recordings of TMS-evoked diaphragm potentials. Fifteen healthy young adults participated (6 females, age = 29 ± 7 yr). Diaphragm activation was determined by gradually increasing the stimulus intensity from 60 to 100% of maximal stimulator output (MSO). A minimum of seven stimulations were performed at each intensity. A second block of stimuli was delivered 30 min later for within-day comparisons, and a third block was performed on a separate day for between-day comparisons. Reliability of diaphragm MEPs was assessed at 100% MSO using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and 95% limits of agreement (LOA). MEP latency (ICC = 0.984,
