Hybrid endovascular and surgical staged approach for mycotic carotid pseudoaneurysms: a case report and literature review.

Background: Mycotic carotid pseudoaneurysms represent a challenge for surgeons. They are rare and associated with high mortality and morbidity.

Methods: We reported a case of a 61-year-old man with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of carotid bifurcation.

Enhancing biocatalyst performance through immobilization of lipase (Eversa® Transform 2.0) on hybrid amine-epoxy core-shell magnetic nanoparticles.

Magnetic nanoparticles were functionalized with polyethylenimine (PEI) and activated with epoxy. This support was used to immobilize Lipase (Eversa® Transform 2.0) (EVS), optimization using the Taguchi method.

Left-sided epileptiform activity influences language lateralization in right mesial temporal sclerosis.

Objective: To investigate the association between left epileptiform activity and language laterality indices (LI) in patients with right mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS).

Methods: Twenty-two patients with right MTS and 22 healthy subjects underwent fMRI scanning while performing a language task. LI was calculated in multiple regions of interest (ROI).

Bilateral ictal EEG is associated with better memory outcome after hippocampal sclerosis surgery.

Objective: To compare memory outcomes after surgery for unilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS)-associated epilepsy in patients with unilateral and bilateral ictal electrographic involvement.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated HS patients, aged 18-55 years and IQ ≥70. Left (L) and right (R) surgical groups underwent noninvasive video-EEG monitoring and Wada test.
