- * The average crude incidence rate of epilepsy was found to be 56.0 per 100,000 individuals, with the highest rates observed after age 65, and a noted increasing trend for the overall population and females over the 12 years.
- * As of December 31, 2022, the crude prevalence of epilepsy was 13.0 per 1,000 individuals, higher than in many European countries, particularly affecting those in their early 20s and those in their 70s.
Article Synopsis
- * Analysis revealed that higher body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and triglycerides (TG) were linked to increased chances of AF, while lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and sodium levels were associated with higher AF risk.
- * The study concluded that monitoring easily measured parameters like BMI, FBG, and TG can help indicate AF risk, and managing these risk factors is crucial for preventing the onset of
Introduction: Behcet's syndrome is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis. It exhibits a higher prevalence along the historic Silk Road. Neuro-Behcet syndrome (NBS) affects the central nervous system and poses significant morbidity and mortality risks.

The exact mechanisms by which interleukins (ILs) contribute to NAFLD may vary, and ongoing research is aimed at understanding the specific roles of different ILs in the pathogenesis of this condition. In addition, variations in environmental factors and genetics in each individual can influence the onset and/or progression of NAFLD.

Transcranial sonography (TCS) is a reliable diagnostic tool for the investigation of deep brain structures. We sought to evaluate TCS findings in genetically confirmed DM1 and DM2 patients, and further correlate these results with patients' clinical features.

Elevated levels of coagulation factors are associated with both existing and newly diagnosed cases of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, this article summarizes the role of coagulation in the pathogenesis of AF, which includes fibrinogen and fibrin, prothrombin, thrombomodulin, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, von Willebrand factor, P-selectin, D-dimer, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and platelet activation.

Methods: Our study involved neurological patients treated with PE between January 2020 and April 2022.
