Progressive postoperative atrophy of ipsilateral thalamus, putamen, and globus pallidus in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy: A volumetric analysis.

Objective: Cortical atrophy close to medial temporal structures has been described consistently in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Successful TLE surgery may have a neuroprotective effect preventing further atrophy of temporal and extratemporal cortex. However, the effects of epilepsy surgery on subcortical structures demand additional enlightenment.

PETSurfer-Based Brain Segmentation in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Associated Hippocampal Sclerosis.

Purpose: In a homogeneous cohort of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS), this study utilizes the PETSurfer method to quantify and localize areas of cerebral hypometabolism.

Methods: We selected patients from the University Clinical Center of Serbia who all underwent anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocampectomy and achieved seizure freedom (Engel class I). Our analysis involved integrating FDG-PET and MRI imaging to compare glucose metabolism between the hemispheres ipsilateral and contralateral to HS.

Sexual and Reproductive Health in Adolescents and Young Adults With Psychotic Disorders: A Scoping Review.

Background And Hypothesis: The sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of young people with psychosis has been largely overlooked. We hypothesised that there are key deficiencies in the existing literature on the SRH of adolescents and young adults with psychotic disorders.

Study Design: We conducted a systematic scoping review using Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL.

Ectopic neurohypophisis in a boy: A case report and review.

Ectopic neurohypophysis is rare anomaly which is characterized by ectopic location of posterior pituitary lobe (neurohypophysis), pituitary stalk abnormalities and association with dysfunction of anterior lobe related with growth hormone or with multiple dysfunction of the same.We present a rare case of posterior ectopic pituitary and pituitary stalk hypoplasia isolated in 2 year-old male patient.

The role of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in stereometric differentiation of eye papilla in ocular hypertension, normal tension glaucoma and primary open-angle glaucoma.

Background/aim: Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG) demonstrate the same structural changes in the optic disc along with visual field defects but only POAG includes an abnormal elevation of intraocular pressure. Heidelberg retina tomograph based on confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (HRT) and Moorfields regression analysis (MRA) have been employed to quantitatively assess the topography of eye papilla. We measured stereographic parameters of eye papilla in patients with POAG, NTG, and ocular hypertension (OH) using an HRT in order to determine whether HRT topographic parameters can be used to differentiate those conditions.
