Association of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 levels in lateralized temporal epilepsy patients.

Objectives: To explore the clinical significance of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 in the development of lateralized temporal epilepsy.

Methods: The prospective study was conducted from January to April of 2022 at the Neurology Department of Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul Medeniyet University, Turkey, and comprised patients with lateralized temporal epilepsy aged 18-86 years who were in the interictal period in group A and healthy controls in group B. The levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 of patients in both groups were compared.

HPA axis function in patients with right and left focal lateralized epilepsy.

Objectives: There is a complex, reciprocal link between epilepsy and the hypothalami pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This study aimed to evaluate the role of the HPA axis in individuals with focal epilepsy, including those with right- or left-hemispheric lateralized epilepsy.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 60 individuals with focal epilepsy, ages 18 to 85, with seizures coming from a single hemisphere, no destructive lesions on cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and 32 healthy persons.

The knockdown of stathmin with si-RNA inhibits invasion of mesothelioma.

Background: To investigate the mechanism of action of stathmin1 (STMN1) in mesothelioma (MSM) and whether it has any role in its treatment.

Methods: STMN1 expression was examined using immunohistochemistry in biopsy tissues taken from MSM patients. The relationships between the levels of STMN1 expression in the pathology preparations of MSM patients, and the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients, and their survival times were investigated.

Epilepsia partialis continua due to COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background: Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is an uncommon condition with several different etiological causes. In this article, we presented a case of EPC due to COVID-19 infection.

Case Report: A 77-year-old woman with diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and chronic renal failure went to the emergency room with shortness of breath.
