An Initial Experience of Completion Hemispherotomy via Magnetic Resonance-Guided Laser Interstitial Therapy.

Introduction: In carefully selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy, disconnective hemispherotomy can result in significant seizure freedom; however, incomplete disconnection can result in ongoing seizures and poses a significant challenge. Completion hemispherotomy provides an opportunity to finish the disconnection. We describe the use of magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal ablation (MRgLITT) for completion hemispherotomy.

Language Signaling High Proportions and Generics Lead to Generalizing, but Not Essentializing, for Novel Social Kinds.

Generics (e.g., "Dogs bark") are thought by many to lead to essentializing: to assuming that members of the same category share an internal property that causally grounds shared behaviors and traits, even without evidence of such a shared property.

Trapped in a disrupted normality: Survivors' and partners' experiences of life after a sudden cardiac arrest.

Aim Of The Study: Advances in resuscitation science have resulted in a growing number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. However, we know very little about the natural history of recovery and the unmet needs of survivors and their partners. This qualitative study sought to address this knowledge gap to improve understanding of the consequences of surviving cardiac arrest.

An international, consensus-derived Core Outcome Set for Cardiac Arrest effectiveness trials: the COSCA initiative.

Purpose Of Review: Accurate and relevant assessment is essential to determining the impact of ill-health and the relative benefit of healthcare. This review details the recent development of a core outcome set for cardiac arrest effectiveness trials - the COSCA initiative.

Recent Findings: The reported heterogeneity in outcome assessment and a lack of outcome reporting guidance were key triggers for the development of the COSCA.

COSCA (Core Outcome Set for Cardiac Arrest) in Adults: An Advisory Statement From the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.

Cardiac arrest effectiveness trials have traditionally reported outcomes that focus on survival. A lack of consistency in outcome reporting between trials limits the opportunities to pool results for meta-analysis. The COSCA initiative (Core Outcome Set for Cardiac Arrest), a partnership between patients, their partners, clinicians, research scientists, and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, sought to develop a consensus core outcome set for cardiac arrest for effectiveness trials.
