A Surgical Case of Complete Resection of the Focal Cortical and Subcortical Dysplasia in the Motor Cortex.

Background: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are highly epileptogenic and frequently associated with medically refractory focal epilepsy. FCDs are frequently located in the frontal lobe, making its complete resection highly challenging when in proximity to the motor cortex.

Case Description: We report a case of a 25-year-old woman with medically refractory epilepsy secondary to a focal cortical dysplasia in the motor cortex and extending deeply into the subcortical white matter.

Assessment of Dietary Intake Patterns and Their Correlates among University Students in Lebanon.

Introduction: Unhealthy dietary habits are major risk factors for chronic diseases, particularly if adopted during early years of adulthood. Limited studies have explored the food consumption patterns among young adults in Lebanon. Our study aimed to examine common dietary patterns and their correlates among a large sample of university student population in Lebanon, focusing on correlation with gender and body mass index (BMI).
