Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a prominent neurological disorder characterized by disruptions in localized brain cell organization and development. This narrative review delineates the multi-faceted nature of FCD, emphasizing its correlation with drug-resistant epilepsy, predominantly in children and young adults. We explore the historical context of FCD, highlighting its indispensable role in shaping our comprehension of epilepsy and cortical anomalies.

Article Synopsis
  • The meta-analysis compared the safety and efficacy of angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) against angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
  • Ten studies were analyzed, revealing that ARNI treatment significantly reduced all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death, but did not show a difference in ejection fraction changes or heart failure hospitalizations compared to control groups.
  • However, there was a notable increase in the risk of hypotension among patients taking ARNI, suggesting a need for further research on ARNI usage and its side effects in heart failure patients.
