Neuropsychological impairments are common in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. It has been proposed that epilepsy surgery might alleviate these impairments by providing seizure freedom; however, findings from prior studies have been inconsistent. We mapped long-term neuropsychological trajectories in children before and after undergoing epilepsy surgery, to measure the impact of disease course and surgery on functioning.

- Atherosclerosis is a major cause of coronary heart disease, and measuring the thickness of the carotid arteries (IMT-CC) helps track its progression, especially in patients with CHD.
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between the total antioxidant content in diets and changes in IMT-CC over 5 years, comparing the effects of Mediterranean and low-fat diet models.
- Results indicated that a higher antioxidant index (DAI) was connected to a decrease in IMT-CC, with specific nutrients like carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and zinc showing significant inverse correlations with IMT-CC changes.
Objective: The accurate prediction of seizure freedom after epilepsy surgery remains challenging. We investigated if (1) training more complex models, (2) recruiting larger sample sizes, or (3) using data-driven selection of clinical predictors would improve our ability to predict postoperative seizure outcome using clinical features. We also conducted the first substantial external validation of a machine learning model trained to predict postoperative seizure outcome.

Methods: The CORDIOPREV study was a single-centre, randomised clinical trial done at the Reina Sofia University Hospital in Córdoba, Spain.
Context: Calcifediol has been proposed as a potential treatment for COVID-19 patients.
Objective: To compare the administration or not of oral calcifediol on mortality risk of patients hospitalized because of COVID-19.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter, open, non-randomized cohort study.
