Parvalbumin (PV) is a calcium-binding protein present in fast-spiking GABAergic neurons, such as basket and axo-axonic cells. Previous studies in non-human primates reported prenatal expression of PV in the temporal archicortex including entorhinal cortex and hippocampal formation. In contrast, PV-immunoreactivity was observed only postnatally in the human entorhinal cortex.

However, depending on the applied air-abrasive powder, it can damage the surface of the tooth and restorations, making it susceptible to plaque accumulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5 s and 10 s air-abrasion of calcium carbonate on surface roughness (Ra) of enamel, nanofill, and microhybrid resin-composites and the effect of post-polishing with two-step rubber- (RP) or one-step brush polisher (BP) to re-establish the surface smoothness.

- Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common type of epilepsy in adults that is hard to treat with medication.
- The study looked at brain tissue from TLE patients and found more connections (called synapses) and neurons in the white matter compared to non-epileptic patients.
- The results suggest that these extra neurons might play a role in how seizures happen and could be involved in the brain circuits that cause epilepsy.
In the present study, we examined parvalbumin-immunoreactive cells and axons in the dentate gyrus of surgically resected tissues of therapy-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with different etiologies. Based on MRI results, five groups of patients were formed: (1) hippocampal sclerosis (HS), (2) malformation of cortical development, (3) malformation of cortical development + HS, (4) tumor-induced TLE, (5) patients with negative MRI result. Four control samples were also included in the study.

In candidates well selected for surgery, the seizure freedom is realistically achievable, and the quality of life can be further improved with complex individual rehabilitation.
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the postoperative outcome of patients who underwent epilepsy surgery between 2005 and 2016 at the Epilepsy Center at Pécs.
