Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical features, treatment approaches, and long-term outcomes of patients with reflex epilepsies (RE) in Taiwan, particularly focusing on their responses to specific triggers.
- A total of 81 patients were analyzed, revealing that those with extrinsic triggers (like photosensitivity) were generally younger and had more spontaneous seizures compared to those with intrinsic triggers (like Mah-Jong).
- Results showed a high usage of antiseizure medications among patients, with a notable difference in treatment methods and stimulus avoidance behaviors between the two groups, but both achieved similar seizure control outcomes.*
Nonylphenols (NPs) are endocrine-disrupting compounds commonly found in the environment and a number of food products. In this study, we constructed a probabilistic risk framework incorporating a Bayesian inference of exposure level in foodstuffs in conjunction with effect analysis of reproduction and renal disease. Our objective was to contrast the risk of dietary exposure to NPs among individuals in various age groups, with a particular focus on fertile females.

With a large-mode-area (LMA) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and a regular microscopic objective, the nonlinear distortion of the ultrafast pulses delivery could be much reduced while still achieving a 0.4 microm lateral resolution for epi-THG signals.
