EEG slowing is reported in various neurological disorders including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Epilepsy. Here, we investigate alpha rhythm slowing in individuals with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy compared with healthy controls, using scalp EEG and magnetoencephalography. We retrospectively analysed data from 17 (46) healthy controls and 22 (24) individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent scalp EEG and magnetoencephalography recordings as part of presurgical evaluation.

No studies have meta-analyzed the cross-sectional IIV literature in those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's dementia (AD). An additional aim of this meta-analysis was to examine IIV in APOE ε4 + healthy control (HC) samples.

We conducted a secondary analysis from a randomized trial of SBRT and conventionally hypofractionated radiation (CRT) to assess these risks.
Materials And Methods: Patients (n = 233) with medically inoperable stage I NSCLC were recruited from 2014 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- A 3-year-old male standard poodle mix was presented with severe health issues including vomiting, difficulty breathing, and lethargy, which led to a diagnosis of a peritoneal pericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) involving the liver and gallbladder.
- Emergency surgery revealed serious complications including a necrosed liver lobe, gallbladder issues, and suspected right ventricular aneurysms, which were treated during the operation.
- Post-surgery, the dog experienced ventricular arrhythmia but was successfully managed and discharged after 4 days, showing good recovery after 12 months; this case highlights the rarity and risks associated with right ventricular aneurysms in dogs.
Article Synopsis
- The case report details the treatment of a 6-year-old spayed female pug who suffered from traumatic nasal avulsion injuries leading to breathing difficulties.
- Initial surgery included facial reconstructive work and later procedures involved balloon dilatation and rhinoplasty to address narrowed nasal passages and cartilage issues.
- Follow-up assessments showed significant improvement in airflow and quality of life, with the dog living well for 2 years post-surgery before passing due to unrelated health issues.
