Controlled Clinical Trial
Multimodal assessment of primary motor cortex integrity following sport concussion in asymptomatic athletes.
Recent studies have shown, in asymptomatic concussed athletes, metabolic disruption in the primary motor cortex (M1) and abnormal intracortical inhibition lasting for more than six months. The present study aims to assess if these neurochemical and neurophysiological alterations are persistent and linked to M1 cortical thickness. ⋯ The present study highlights the importance of multimodal assesments of the impacts of sport concussions.

In a previous study we proposed a robust method for automatic seizure detection in scalp EEG recordings. The goal of the current study was to validate an improved algorithm in a much larger group of patients in order to show its general applicability in clinical routine. ⋯ The algorithm is a valuable tool for fast and effective screening of long-term scalp EEG recordings.

Temporal evolution of event-related desynchronization in acute stroke: a pilot study.
Assessment of event-related desynchronization (ERD) may assist in predicting recovery from stroke and rehabilitation, for instance in BCI applications. Here, we explore the temporal evolution of ERD during stroke recovery. ⋯ Improved understanding of ERD in acute stroke may assist in prognostication and rehabilitation.

Controlled Clinical Trial
Lack of visual evoked potentials amplitude decrement during prolonged reversal and motion stimulation in migraineurs.
We evaluated response decrement during a short time repetitive low and high contrast reversal and low contrast motion stimulation in controls and migraineurs. ⋯ Low contrast and motion-onset stimuli in short time decrement assessment did not increase the test sensitivity.

Contribution of ultrasound in the assessment of patients with suspect idiopathic pudendal nerve disease.
To assess if Ultrasound (US) is contributive in patients suspected of having idiopathic pudendal neuralgia. ⋯ US is useful in patients with suspected idiopathic pudendal nerve disease.
