The Chronic Overlapping Pain Condition Screener.

Ten Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs) are currently recognized by the National Institutes of Health Pain Consortium (eg, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic migraine headache, and chronic low back pain). These conditions affect millions of Americans; however, assessing these conditions, their co-occurrence, and their relationship to treatment has proven challenging due to time constraints and a lack of standardized measures. We present a Chronic Overlapping Pain Condition-Screener (COPC-S) that is logic-driven, efficient, and freely available in electronic format to nonprofit entities.

Pathogenic Somatic Variant in a Child With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Without Pathogenic Variants in or .

Objective: To describe a child meeting diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) carrying a pathogenic somatic variant in , but no pathogenic variants in the 2 known TSC genes, or .

Methods: We present the clinical and imaging findings in a child presenting with drug-resistant focal seizures and multiple cortical tubers, a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma and multiple subependymal nodules in 1 cerebral hemisphere. Targeted panel sequencing and exome sequencing were performed on genomic DNA derived from blood and resected tuber tissue.

Basal ganglia dysplasia and mTORopathy: A potential cause of postoperative seizures in focal cortical dysplasia.

Pathogenic somatic MTOR variants in the cerebral cortex are a frequent cause of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). We describe a child with drug and surgery-resistant focal epilepsy due to FCD type II who developed progressive enlargement and T2 signal hyperintensity in the ipsilateral caudate and lentiform nuclei. Histopathology of caudate nucleus biopsies showed dysmorphic neurons, similar to those in resected cortex.

Karawun: a software package for assisting evaluation of advances in multimodal imaging for neurosurgical planning and intraoperative neuronavigation.

Purpose: The neuroimaging research community-which includes a broad range of scientific, medical, statistical, and engineering disciplines-has developed many tools to advance our knowledge of brain structure, function, development, aging, and disease. Past research efforts have clearly shaped clinical practice. However, translation of new methodologies into clinical practice is challenging.
