Article Synopsis
- Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a type of focal epilepsy that can present as single or recurrent episodes, causing motor symptoms with varying progressions.
- A case study highlighted the successful diagnosis and treatment of EPC in a 33-year-old woman using various advanced imaging techniques, leading to the identification and targeting of her seizure onset zone.
- After treatment with stereo electroencephalography-guided radiofrequency ablation, the patient's seizures ceased, but she still experienced significant pain, affecting her rehabilitation and mobility one year later.
Article Synopsis
- Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) causes chronic pain and is often linked to traumatic experiences like childhood sexual abuse (CSA), making it a focus for treatment studies.
- A study tested hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) against standard medications (Pregabalin and Duloxetine) in 48 FMS patients with CSA history, measuring outcomes like pain impacts and emotional well-being.
- Results showed HBOT significantly improved FMS symptoms more than medications, with associated changes in brain activity suggesting HBOT enhances neuroplasticity in relevant brain areas.
Stereotypic neural networks are repeatedly activated in drug-refractory epilepsies (DRE), reinforcing the expression of certain psycho-affective traits. Geschwind syndrome (GS) can serve as a model for such phenomena among patients with temporal lobe DRE. We describe stereo-electroencephalogram (SEEG) exploration in a 34-year-old male with DRE and GS, and his treatment by SEEG-radiofrequency (SEEG-RF) ablation.

Study Objective: To determine whether the concomitant use of indocyanine green (ICG) with technetium-99m-filtered sulfur colloid (Tc99m-FSC) improves bilateral sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection rate in endometrial cancer and whether anatomic concordance of pelvic lymph nodes exists and can be used to predict SLN location in cases of unilateral mapping failure.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary academic medical center in Holon, Israel.
Susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD) is believed to involve an interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The role of pesticides as a risk factor of PD and neurodegeneration remains controversial. An asymmetric decrease in ligand uptake on F-DOPA positron emission tomography (PET), especially in the dorsal putamen, is a sensitive marker of PD.
