Interictal spike localisation with methohexitone: preoperative activation and surgical follow-up.
Thirty-four patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy underwent preoperative and perioperative EEG activation with methohexitone sodium. Subsequently, all patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy with deep structure preservation. Preoperative spike localisation with methohexitone was concordant with peroperative recording in most cases. Large doses of methohexitone were administered to two patients, rendering the EEG almost isoelectric. Areas of abnormal spiking activity were refractory to the effects of methohexitone, and recovery was marked by an increase in spike frequency. Postoperative clinical evaluation confirmed the specificity of methohexitone for abnormally epileptogenic tissue.

Music therapy in ICU.
This paper provides an overview of the benefits of using music therapy in intensive care. Music therapy is described as a complementary therapy and can be used to complement more conventional and medically oriented treatments available to patients who are critically ill. The physiological and psychological effects of this intervention are discussed.
