Frontal lobe closed-lip schizencephaly as an atypical cause of adult-onset seizures.

Schizencephaly arises from irregular neuronal migration leading to clefts development in the cerebral cortex. The condition is often detected in childhood and it is extremely rare to go unnoticed. This case highlights a 45-year-old male with no previous medical history who presented with a seizure for the first time in the emergency department after which an MRI was done and detected schizcenphaly which at this point was the first time for the patient to be diagnosed with this condition.

EHR-BERT: A BERT-based model for effective anomaly detection in electronic health records.

Objective: Physicians and clinicians rely on data contained in electronic health records (EHRs), as recorded by health information technology (HIT), to make informed decisions about their patients. The reliability of HIT systems in this regard is critical to patient safety. Consequently, better tools are needed to monitor the performance of HIT systems for potential hazards that could compromise the collected EHRs, which in turn could affect patient safety.

Preoperative Dyeing Technique for Decreasing Radiation Exposure in Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery.

Background: Minimally invasive surgery has many advantages, including early recovery and cosmetic preservation. However, the higher radiation exposure to physicians and patients has drawbacks. Preoperative tissue dyeing techniques are feasible options for reducing radiation exposure and procedure time, but their efficacy has not yet been evaluated.

Endoscopic-assisted Surgery in the Treatment of Isolated Frontosphenoidal Craniosynostosis.

Isolated frontosphenoidal craniosynostosis is extremely rare, due to which diagnosis can be challenging. All the isolated cases reported have been treated by open surgical technique. We present a unique case report of an infant with an isolated frontosphenoidal synostosis corrected by a novel endoscopic surgical technique.

Detecting anomalous sequences in electronic health records using higher-order tensor networks.

Detecting anomalous sequences is an integral part of building and protecting modern large-scale health information technology (HIT) systems. These HIT systems generate a large volume of records of patients' state and significant events, which provide a valuable resource to help improve clinical decisions, patient care processes, and other issues. However, detecting anomalous sequences in electronic health records (EHR) remains a challenge in healthcare applications for several reasons, including imbalances in the data, complexity of relationships between events in the sequence, and the curse of dimensionality.

COVID-19-associated meningoencephalitis complicated with intracranial hemorrhage: a case report.

The coronavirus pandemic that started in December 2019 is mainly related to clinical pictures consistent with respiratory symptoms; nevertheless, reports about neurological complications have recently appeared in the medical literature. We describe a case of a 36-year-old coronavirus-positive patient that was admitted on emergency basis; his clinical presentation included neurological symptoms such as drowsiness and mild confusion. Imaging revealed findings consistent with meningoencephalitis complicated by intracerebral hematoma and subdural hematoma.

Introducing Cichorium Pumilum as a potential therapeutical agent against drug-induced benign breast tumor in rats.

Cichorium Pumilum (chicory) is could be a promising cancer treatment in which a photosensitizing drug concentrates in benign tumor cells and activated by quanta at certain wavelength. Such activated extracts could lead to cell death and tumor ablation. Previous studies have shown that Cichorium Pumilum (chicory) contains photosensitive compounds such as cichoriin, anthocyanins, lactucin, and Lactucopicrin.
