Disease and creativity of Edgar Allan Poe
The article provides the biography and development dynamics of a mental disorder of the writer Edgar Allan Poe. He was the creator of a detective fiction genre in literature. Articles and memories of him and content of his works are the sources of psychopathological analysis. We can presumably verify the diagnosis of Edgar Allan Poe as schizoaffective psychosis.Π ΡΡΠ°ΡΡΠ΅ ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²ΠΎΠ΄ΡΡΡΡ ΠΊΡΠ°ΡΠΊΠ°Ρ Π±ΠΈΠΎΠ³ΡΠ°ΡΠΈΡ ΠΈ Π΄ΠΈΠ½Π°ΠΌΠΈΠΊΠ° ΡΠ°Π·Π²ΠΈΡΠΈΡ ΠΏΡΠΈΡ

Advances in Clinical Neurophysiology
Including some of the newest advances in the field of neurophysiology, this book can be considered as one of the treasures that interested scientists would like to collect. It discusses many disciplines of clinical neurophysiology that are, currently, crucial in the practice as they explain methods and findings of techniques that help to improve diagnosis and to ensure better treatment. While trying to rely on evidence-based facts, this book presents some new ideas to be applied and tested in the clinical practice. Advances in Clinical Neurophysiology is important not only for the neurophysiologists but also for clinicians interested or working in wide range of specialties such as neurology, neurosurgery, intensive care units, pediatrics and so on. Generally, this book is written and designed to all those involved in, interpreting or requesting neurophysiologic tests
Modern Developments in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) β Applications and Perspectives in Clinical Neuroscience
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is being increasingly used in neuroscience and clinics. Modern advances include but are not limited to the combination of TMS with precise neuronavigation as well as the integration of TMS into a multimodal environment, e.g., by guiding the TMS application using complementary techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), or magnetoencephalography (MEG). Furthermore, the impact of stimulation can be identified and characterized by such multimodal approaches, helping to shed light on the basic neurophysiology and TMS effects in the human brain. Against this background, the aim of this Special Issue was to explore advancements in the field of TMS considering both investigations in healthy subjects as well as patients
Imaging correlates of the epileptogenic zone and functional deficit zone using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
Focal epilepsy is a common serious neurologic disorder. One out of three patients is medication refractory and epilepsy surgery may be the best treatment option. Neuroimaging and electroencephalography (EEG) techniques are critical tools to localise the ictal onset zone and for performing functional mapping to identify the eloquent cortex in order to minimise functional deficits following resection.
Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) informs about amplitude (diffusivity) and directionality (anisotropy) of diffusional motion of water molecules in tissue.This allows inferring information of microstructure within the brain and reconstructing major white matter tracts (diffusion tensor tractography, DTT), providing in vivo insights into connectivity.
The contribution of DTI to the evaluation of candidates for epilepsy surgery was examined:
1. Structure function relationships were explored particularly correlates of memory and language dysfunction often associated with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE; chapters 3 and 4). Abnormal diffusion measures were found in both the left and right uncinate fasciculus (UF), correlating in the expected directions in the left UF with auditory memory and in the right UF with delayed visual memory performance. Examining the arcuate fasciculus (AF), bilateral diffusion changes were found with correlations between left AF DTI measures and language scores.
2. The second aim of this thesis was to validate DTT results and test the hypothesis that cortical language areas determined by cortical stimulation serve as anchor points for the tractography defined AF (chapter 5). Subdural grid contacts overlying anterior language cortex co-localised in 84.2% with the AF, and in 55.8% in posterior language areas. This provides some validation that the AF reconstructed using DTT subserves language function, but further study is needed.
3. Lastly, seizure propagation was investigated in a case series of patients with cortical dysplasia (chapter 6). Reduced connectivity with reduced arborization and thinning of the fibre bundles between subcortical WM and the dysplastic cortex was demonstrated. Fibre tracts reconstructed from regions underlying the ictal onset zone showed abnormal connectivity
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Incidence of Injury in Professional Female Soccer
The epidemiology of injury in male professional football is well documented and has been used as a basis to monitor injury trends and implement injury prevention strategies. There are no systematic reviews that have investigated injury incidence in womenβs professional football. Therefore, the extent of injury burden in womenβs professional football remains unknown. PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study was to calculate an overall incidence rate of injury in senior female professional soccer. The secondary aims were to provide an incidence rate for training and match play. METHODS: PubMed, Discover, EBSCO, Embase and ScienceDirect electronic databases were searched from inception to September 2018. Two reviewers independently assessed study quality using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement using a 22-item STROBE checklist. Seven prospective studies (n=1137 professional players) were combined in a pooled analysis of injury incidence using a mixed effects model. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the Cochrane Q statistic and I2. RESULTS: The epidemiological incidence proportion over one season was 0.62 (95% CI 0.59 - 0.64). Mean total incidence of injury was 3.15 (95% CI 1.54 - 4.75) injuries per 1000 hours. The mean incidence of injury during match play was 10.72 (95% CI 9.11 - 12.33) and during training was 2.21 (95% CI 0.96 - 3.45). Data analysis found a significant level of heterogeneity (total Incidence, X2 = 16.57 P < 0.05; I2 = 63.8%) and during subsequent sub group analyses in those studies reviewed (match incidence, X2 = 76.4 (d.f. = 7), P <0.05; I2 = 90.8%, training incidence, X2 = 16.97 (d.f. = 7), P < 0.05; I2 = 58.8%). Appraisal of the study methodologies revealed inconsistency in the use of injury terminology, data collection procedures and calculation of exposure by researchers. Such inconsistencies likely contribute to the large variance in the incidence and prevalence of injury reported. CONCLUSIONS: The estimated risk of sustaining at least one injury over one football season is 62%. Continued reporting of heterogeneous results in population samples limits meaningful comparison of studies. Standardising the criteria used to attribute injury and activity coupled with more accurate methods of calculating exposure will overcome such limitations
