    Abstract Background: The use of anchor bolts to secure electrodes to the skull can be difficult in some clinical situations. Herein, we present the boltless technique to secure electrodes to the scalp using nylon sutures to overcome the problems associated with anchor bolts. We investigated the safety, accuracy errors, and patient-related and operative factors affecting errors in the boltless technique.
    Methods: This single-institution retrospective series analyzed 103 electrodes placed in 12 patients. The target-point localization error (TPLE), entry-point localization error (EPLE), radial error (RE), and depth error (DE) of the electrodes were calculated.
    Results: The median of the mean operative time per electrode was 9.3 min. The median TPLE, EPLE, RE, and absolute DE value were 4.1 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.7 mm, and 1.9 mm, respectively. Positive correlations were observed between the preoperative scalp thickness, mean operative time per electrode, EPLE, RE, and the absolute value of DE versus TPLE (r = .228, p = .02; r = .678, p = .015; r = .228, p = .02; r = .445, p < .01; r = .630, p < .01, respectively), and electrode approach angle versus EPLE (r = .213, p = .031). Multivariate analysis revealed that the absolute value of DE had the strongest influence on the TPLE, followed by RE and preoperative scalp thickness, respectively (β = .938, .544, .060, respectively, p < .001). No complications related to SEEG insertion and monitoring were encountered.
    Conclusion: The boltless technique using our unique planning and technical method is a safe, effective, and low-cost alternative in cases where anchor bolts are contraindicated.

    Abstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been shown to be effective and safe in preventing pulmonary embolism recurrence. In this single-center retrospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reduced-dose DOACs in 86 consecutive patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Patients were divided into standard-dose and reduced-dose DOACs groups. Initial clot volume did not significantly differ between the two groups (standard-dose DOACs vs. reduced-dose DOACs, 18.8 [Q1-Q3 7.3-30.8] mL vs. 10.0 [Q1-Q3 3.2-27.9] mL, p = 0.1). Follow-up computed tomography (CT) within 30 days showed a higher rate of clot volume reduction or disappearance in the standard-dose group compared to the reduced-dose group (standard-dose DOACs vs. reduced-dose DOACs, 81.6% vs. 53.9%, p = 0.02). However, at the final follow-up CT, there was no significant difference in clot volume change between the two groups (standard-dose DOACs vs. reduced-dose DOACs, 91.5% vs. 82.0%, p = 0.19). Major bleeding occurred in two patients in the standard-dose group (4.3%) and three patients in the reduced-dose DOACs group (7.7%) (p = 0.5). In conclusion, while standard-dose DOACs demonstrated superior efficacy in early clot reduction, reduced doses of apixaban and edoxaban showed comparable efficacy and safety profiles in long-term treatment of acute pulmonary embolism in certain patients.

    Abstract This work aimed to investigate the involvement of the thalamic nuclei in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and identify the influence of interictal epileptic discharges on the neural basis of memory processing by evaluating the functional connectivity (FC) between the thalamic nuclei and default mode network-related area (DMNRA) using magnetoencephalography. Preoperative datasets of nine patients with MTLE with seizure-free status after surgery and those of nine healthy controls were analyzed. The FC between the thalamic nuclei (anterior nucleus [ANT], mediodorsal nucleus [MD], intralaminar nuclei [IL]), hippocampus, and DMNRA was examined for each of the resting, pre-spike, spike, and post-spike periods in the delta to ripple bands using magnetoencephalography. The FC between the ANT, MD, hippocampus, and medial prefrontal cortex increased in the gamma to ripple bands, whereas the FC between the ANT, IL, and DMNRA decreased in the delta to beta bands, compared with that of the healthy controls at rest. Compared with the rest period, the pre-spike period had significantly decreased FC between the ANT, MD, and DMNRA in the ripple band. Different FC changes between the thalamic nuclei, hippocampus, and DMNRA of specific connections in a particular band may reflect impairment or compensation in the memory processes.

    Abstract Stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) is receiving increasing attention as a safe and effective technique in the invasive evaluation for epileptogenic zone (EZ) detection. The main clinical question is whether the use of SEEG truly improves outcomes. Herein, we compared outcomes in our patients after three types of intracranial EEG (iEEG): SEEG, the subdural electrode (SDE), and a combined method using depth and strip electrodes. We present here our preliminary results from two demonstrative cases. Several international reports from large epilepsy centers found the following clinical advantages of SEEG: 1) three-dimensional analysis of structures, including bilateral and multilobar structures; 2) low rate of complications; 3) less pneumoencephalopathy and less patient burden during postoperative course, which allows the initiation of video-EEG monitoring immediately after implantation and does not require resection to be performed in the same hospitalization; and 4) a higher rate of good seizure control after resection. In other words, SEEG more accurately identified the EZ than the SDE method. We obtained similar results in our preliminary experiences under limited conditions. In Japan, as of August 2022, dedicated electrodes and SEEG accessories have not been approved and the use of the robot arm is not widespread. The Japanese medical community is hopeful that these issues will soon be resolved and that the experience with SEEG in Japan will align with that of large epilepsy centers internationally.

    Abstract Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an effective treatment for essential tremor (ET). However, its long-term outcomes and prognostic factors remain unclear. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate 38 patients with ET who underwent MRgFUS thalamotomy and were followed up for >2 years. The improvement in tremor was evaluated using the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST). Adverse events were documented, and correlations with factors, such as skull density ratio (SDR), maximum mean temperature (T-max), and lesion size, were examined. Furthermore, the outcomes were compared between two groups, one that met the cutoff values, which was previously reported (preoperative CRST-B ≤ 25, T-max ≥ 52.5°C, anterior-posterior size of lesion ≥ 3.9 mm, superior-inferior [SI] size of lesion > 5.5 mm), and the other that did not. The improvement rate was 59.4% on average at the 2-year follow-up. Adverse events, such as numbness (15.8%), dysarthria (10.5%), and lower extremity weakness (2.6%), were observed even after 2 years, although these were mild. The factors correlated with tremor improvement were the T-max and SI size of the lesion (p < 0.05), whereas the SDR showed no significance. Patients who met the aforementioned cutoff values demonstrated a 69.8% improvement at the 2-year follow-up, whereas others showed a 43.6% improvement (p < 0.05). In conclusion, MRgFUS is effective even after 2 years. The higher the T-max and the larger the lesion size, the better the tremor control. Previously reported cutoff values clearly predict the 2-year prognosis, indicating the usefulness of MRgFUS.

    Abstract An 80-year-old man with no previous history of catheter ablation or cardiac surgery underwent catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia (AT). We suspected that the mechanism causing AT was re-entry indicated by the entrainment phenomenon during AT and through activation mapping with a 3-dimensional mapping system (EnSite™ X EP system; Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA). We used a multipolar catheter (Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter; Abbott) inserted into the superior vena cava (SVC) to accomplish activation mapping. The AT circuit was localized inside the SVC with a fractionated potential recorded on its right lateral wall. A similar fractionated potential was observed in the surrounding area. These areas functioned as the critical isthmus of the AT. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation at these sites eliminated the tachycardia. After RF delivery, no tachycardia was induced by programmed stimulation, even during isoproterenol infusion. Consequently, there was no recurrence of tachycardia even after catheter ablation.

    Abstract Coil embolization for cerebral aneurysms can lead to various complications, such as aneurysm rupture and cerebral embolism. In recent years, foreign substance embolisms-caused by peeling off of coating materials from therapeutic devices-have been described. We report here a case of unilateral multiple cerebral edema four weeks after coil embolization. A 44-year-old woman presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a right internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm, for which coil embolization was performed. Four weeks after the embolization, she developed numbness in the left side of her mouth and in her left upper extremity. Magnetic resonance images showed multiple edematous lesions in the right cerebral hemisphere. Subsequent treatment with steroids improved her symptoms and edematous cerebral lesions. Although definitive diagnosis by biopsy was not performed, her clinical course and imaging findings resembled a foreign substance embolism by hydrophilic coating. It is important to note that delayed cerebral edema due to foreign substance embolisms might occur after endovascular treatments.

    Abstract Magnetic resonance(MR)-guided focused ultrasound ablation(FUS)is a minimally invasive technique for targeted tissue thermo-ablation and is promising for neuromodulation in various neurological disorders. The effectiveness and safety of this technique have been recognized worldwide. In Japan, the applications of FUS for the treatment of essential tremors and Parkinson's disease have recently been covered under health insurance. The FUS system is composed of a phased-array transducer with 1024 elements, with a beam of ultrasound emerging from each element. The phase and amplitude of the beam are computed and controlled to focus on the target with the calculation of computed tomography(CT)profiles, resulting in optimal thermo-ablation. To utilize FUS safely and effectively, a deep understanding of the physics of this technology is necessary. Furthermore, the technique should be compared with other options including deep brain stimulation(DBS)and radiofrequency thermo-ablation. Although FUS has received attention because of minimally invasive characteristics and a possibility of procedural target refinement, DBS has some advantages on bilateral implantation, a potential of postoperative adjustment, and control of head/leg tremors. In this article, we first reviewed the physics of FUS and demonstrated the typical treatment protocols. Second, we reviewed the outcomes from the existing literature, and revealed the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure, with the evaluation of the optimal condition for FUS.

    Abstract Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) has been utilized to visualize large-scale brain networks. We evaluated the usefulness of multitier network analysis using rs-fMRI in patients with focal epilepsy. Structural and rs-fMRI data were retrospectively evaluated in 20 cases with medically refractory focal epilepsy, who subsequently underwent surgery. First, structural changes were examined using voxel-based morphometry analysis. Second, alterations in large-scale networks were evaluated using dual-regression analysis. Third, changes in cortical hubs were analyzed and the relationship between aberrant hubs and the epileptogenic zone (EZ) was evaluated. Finally, the relationship between the hubs and the default mode network (DMN) was examined using spectral dynamic causal modeling (spDCM). Dual-regression analysis revealed significant decrease in functional connectivity in several networks including DMN in patients, although no structural difference was seen between groups. Aberrant cortical hubs were observed in and around the EZ (EZ hubs) in 85% of the patients, and a strong degree of EZ hubs correlated to good seizure outcomes postoperatively. In spDCM analysis, facilitation was often seen from the EZ hub to the contralateral side, while inhibition was seen from the EZ hub to nodes of the DMN. Some cognition-related networks were impaired in patients with focal epilepsy. The EZ hub appeared in the vicinity of EZ facilitating connections to distant regions in the early phase, which may eventually generate secondary focus, while inhibiting connections to the DMN, which may cause cognitive deterioration. Our results demonstrate pathological network alterations in epilepsy and suggest that earlier surgical intervention may be more effective.
