Optimizing outcomes in drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation.

Background: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) epileptiform discharges have been reported to arise from the hippocampus or the extrahippocampal medial temporal cortex, such as the amygdala, and then propagate to the temporal lobe cortex. The surgical ablation of which of these structures would result in a better postoperative outcome is debatable.

Objective: To assess the possible factors that might have influenced the postoperative outcome of a group of drug-resistant mesial MTLE patients who underwent stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC).

Evaluation of MRI post-processing methods combined with PET in detecting focal cortical dysplasia lesions for patients with MRI-negative epilepsy.

Objective: Accurate detection of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in the preoperative assessment of epilepsy. The integration of multimodal imaging has demonstrated substantial value in both diagnosing FCD and devising effective surgical strategies. This study aimed to enhance MRI post-processing by incorporating positron emission tomography (PET) analysis.

[Ten-year evolution in non-small-cell lung cancer according to sex. Results of the KBP-2010-CPHG study by the College of General Hospital Respiratory Physicians].

Introduction: Comparison by sex and presenting features between 2000 and 2010 of the characteristics of new cases of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Observational KBP-2010-CPHG study similar to KBP-2000-CPHG. Both studies were promoted by the French College of General Hospital Respiratory Physicians (CPHG).

[Unilateral acute pulmonary edema and ischemic myocardial process: a case report].

Unilateral acute pulmonary oedema (APO) is a rare radioclinical finding. It occurs secondary to multiple specific and rare pathological processes. Functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (FIMR) secondary to myocardial necrosis is one of the rare aetiologies involved in its pathogenesis.

[Paradoxical lymphadenopathy following treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. A rare condition with controversial management].

Introduction: The appearance of a peripheral lymph node tuberculosis in end of anti-tuberculosis treatment of a pulmonary tuberculosis is a rare phenomenon whose assumption of responsibility, particularly therapeutic, is not reproduced on the recommendations of WHO.

Clinical Case: It is about a case of a 36 years old patient who presented, in end anti-TB treatment for ulcéroinfiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis, a left axillary adenopathy of important size. The treatment consisted with a puncture aspiration with the fine needle as well as the prolongation of the duration of the anti-TB treatment from 6 to 9 months.
