Objective: The Epilepsy Self-Stigma Scale (ESSS) has been developed in Japan for patients with epilepsy (PWE). We aimed to validate the scale in Spanish and examine its validity and reliability.
Methods: The transcultural adaptation of the ESSS was conducted using translation and back-translation, along with pilot testing and an expert panel review.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed brain dynamics in 10 individuals with pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy and 30 healthy controls using resting-state functional MRI, focusing on how seizures start and spread.
- - Findings revealed significant changes in global brain connectivity, with increased integration and flexibility, and specific regions showing paradoxical decreases in ignition within the seizure onset zone.
- - The results contribute to a better understanding of epilepsy mechanisms and may help in creating diagnostic tools and therapies for seizure management.
This work proposes catalytic systems for fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using a series of functionalized carbon nanofibers. The catalysts were synthesized via finely selected covalent grafting in order to include a variety of functionalities like pure Bronsted acid, tandem Brønsted/Lewis acid, and tandem Lewis acid/Lewis base catalysts. After the characterization and evaluation of acidity strength and the amount of acid centers, the catalyst series was screened and related to the product distribution.

Article Synopsis
- A case study describes a young girl with asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules and high eosinophil levels, diagnosed with Wells' syndrome through histopathological examination.
- After initial treatment with corticosteroids, which resulted in improvement, the recurrence of symptoms led to the use of dapsone as a second-line therapy, showing positive results.
