Clinical Features and Electroencephalogram Analysis of Brain Network Functional Connectivity in Anti-Leucine-Rich Glioma-Inactivated 1 Antibody Encephalitis.

Purpose: To summarize the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody encephalitis (anti-LGI1 antibody encephalitis) and explore the electroencephalogram (EEG) features.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical history of 16 patients diagnosed with anti-LGI1 antibody encephalitis at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2021 to 2023. EEGs of patients with anti-LGI1 antibody encephalitis and healthy individuals were analyzed.

Evaluating the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation for refractory epilepsy: A meta-analysis of RCTs and non-RCTs.

An increasing number of research indicate that non-invasive neurostimulation techniques, like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can effectively control refractory epilepsy. While previous meta-analyses have primarily focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), this study expands the scope by including both RCTs and non-RCTs to provide a more comprehensive assessment of tDCS efficacy in treating refractory epilepsy. Through a systematic search of "PUBMED, Embase and Cochrane", we sought relevant studies related to the research topic.
