Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in localizing the seizure onset zone (SOZ) in epilepsy surgery through comparison with other methods like EEG and surgical outcomes.
- Over 9,500 articles were reviewed, leading to 25 that met inclusion criteria, highlighting various comparative modalities, with rs-fMRI showing significant variability in agreement when compared to different methods.
- Results showed that surgical outcomes had better agreement with rs-fMRI than EEG and intracranial EEG, and the study provided meaningful insights into the heterogeneity of SOZ identification using rs-fMRI techniques.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 1 in 36 children and is associated with physiological abnormalities, most notably mitochondrial dysfunction, at least in a subset of individuals. This systematic review and meta-analysis discovered 204 relevant articles which evaluated biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction in ASD individuals. Significant elevations (all p < 0.

Current management of these injuries is extrapolated from adult blunt and penetrating traumatic brain injury guidelines. The objectives of this study were to investigate and analyze the clinical, radiological, and laboratory factors associated with mortality and functional outcomes in pediatric patients presenting with intracranial gunshot wounds (GSWs).

Mitochondrial dysfunction may be linked to a subset of children with ASD who have neurodevelopmental regression (NDR). We have developed a cell model of ASD which demonstrates a unique mitochondrial profile with mitochondrial respiration higher than normal and sensitive to physiological stress.

Patients with ASD and folate pathway abnormalities have demonstrated improved symptoms after treatment with leucovorin (folinic acid), a reduced form of folate.
