Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, we set up a neurophysiology-focused Special Issue, which will incorporate related papers that reflect advances in our understanding of neurology and analytics currently being employed to improve the field. The present Special Issue, edited by Assistant Professor Brent Berry, Professor Yogatheesan Varatharajah and Dr. Vikram Puram, will focus on how analytic methods, particularly in the realm of electrophysiology, but also in neurology more generally, have advanced the field.  We invite those with papers using data science methods to study neurology or those who are describing interesting neurophysiologic phenomena with traditional methods to submit. For more information, please refer to https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/neurophysiologic_disease

The Special Issues are now open for submissions. Prospective authors should first send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office. If the editors deem the topic to be appropriate for inclusion in one of the Special Issues, the author will be encouraged to submit a full manuscript.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation is a rare injury requiring prompt diagnosis as it has been associated with the compression of the subclavian and brachiocephalic arteries. We report the case of a 27-year-old male presenting with altered mental status and left hemiparesis found to have life-altering neurologic damage caused by severe orthopedic injury after a fall while intoxicated. Imaging revealed a posteriorly displaced right medial clavicle with surrounding hematoma compressing the brachiocephalic artery causing local thrombus formation and distal embolization, ultimately resulting in malignant cerebral infarction. His hospital course was complicated by cerebral edema requiring decompressive craniectomy, hemorrhagic transformations, brachiocephalic pseudoaneurysm, and the development of remote embolic ischemic infarctions.

Medulla compression from vertebral artery abnormality is a very rare occurrence with few cases present in the literature. It has been documented to present with a very wide spectrum of clinical symptomatology ranging from asymptomatic to full hemiplegia. There is currently no treatment algorithm in place to guide clinicians encountering such patients but treatments have historically involved major posterior compartment surgical interventions. This case outlined a patient evaluated for dizziness without any other neurological symptoms or signs, found to have abnormal dilatation, elongation, and tortuosity of the vertebral artery with resultant compression of the medulla oblongata. The patient was managed conservatively after discussion of surgical options. This report outlined an important consideration for management of medullar compression by vertebral artery based on symptom severity with the possibility of postponing surgical or endovascular interventions and opting for conservative management with an anti-platelet regimen, particularly in the short term.
