چکیده

Electroencephalography (EEG) is frequently used in functional neurological assessment of children with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Multiscale entropy (MSE) can reveal complexity in both short and long time scales and is more feasible in the analysis of EEG. Entropy-based estimation of EEG complexity is a powerful tool in investigating the underlying disturbances of neural networks of the brain. Most neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood affect the early stage of brain development. The analysis of EEG complexity may show the influences of different neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders on different regions of the brain during development. This article aims to give a brief summary of current concepts of MSE analysis in pediatric neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Studies utilizing MSE or its modifications for investigating neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders in children were reviewed. Abnormal EEG complexity was shown in a variety of childhood neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, and epilepsy in infancy and childhood. MSE has been shown to be a powerful method for analyzing the non-linear anomaly of EEG in childhood neurological diseases. Further studies are needed to show its clinical implications on diagnosis, treatment, and outcome prediction.

The Effects of Sodium Valproate in Improving Developmental Delay in Seizure-Free Children with Abnormal Electroencephalography

Background: Developmental delay is one of the most common problems of children referred to pediatric neurology clinics. While there are reports on rehabilitation and its effects, limited studies are available to delineate pharmacotherapy of such children. Because many children with developmental delay have abnormal findings in electroencephalography, we aimed to treat a group of these children,...

Data-driven Multiscale Tsallis Complexity: Application to EEG Analysis

Abstract—This work proposes a data-driven multiscale based quantitative measures to reveal the underlying complexity of electroencephalogram (EEG), applying to a rodent model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and recovery. Motivated by that real EEG recording is nonlinear and non-stationary over different frequencies or scales, there is a need of more suitable approach over the conventional sing...

Catatonia: extinct, lost, or forgotten?

Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that occurs in some primary psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, mood disorders), or due to general medical conditions (e.g., neurological disorders, drug poisoning, metabolic disorders) (1). Although it is uncommon, but if it goes unrecognized in medical and surgical units (2), it can increase morbidity and mortality. Moreover, making a connectio...
