Background: Periapical extrusion of debris for root retreatment will effectively improve the posttreatment inflammation and pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the extruded debris for root retreatment using XP shaper and ProTaper files.
Materials And Methods: In his experimental laboratory study, 40 extracted human maxillary molars were used in this laboratory study.
Purpose: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects one-third of patients with focal epilepsy. A large portion of patients are not candidates for epilepsy surgery, thus alternative options, such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), are proposed. Our objective is to study the effect of vagus nerve stimulation on lesional versus non-lesional epilepsies.

In previous studies, this technique has shown seizure reduction by ≥50% in 50% of patients at 1 year. However, the relationship between the location of the ablation within the epileptogenic network and clinical outcomes remains poorly understood.

- The study aimed to analyze trends in Antiseizure Medication (ASM) use and the frequency of Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES) in patients with and without concurrent epileptic seizures.
- A review of 145 patients indicated that those with just PNES had a higher likelihood of reducing or stopping ASMs compared to those with both PNES and epilepsy, especially noticeable over several years of follow-up.
- While both groups showed initial reductions in PNES spells, the long-term outcomes revealed fluctuating patterns, with no significant difference in spell frequency reduction between the two groups at the final follow-up point.
