Epilepsy is a chronic disorder with medical, as well as psychosocial, consequences. Many patients with epilepsy are well controlled by medication and are able to tolerate the side effects of the antiepileptic drugs needed to control their disorder. However, there are many people who are either unable to gain seizure freedom with medications or are intolerant of the side effects of their drugs. In some of these patients, particularly those with mesial temporal sclerosis, surgery offers a viable treatment alternative and a chance for a cure rather than just lifelong management.

Presentation and Surgical Outcomes of Primary Hyperparathyroidism After Radioactive Iodine Therapy.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri.
Background: Radioactive iodine (RAI) is a common treatment for various thyroid diseases. Previous studies have suggested susceptibility of parathyroid glands to the mutagenic effect of RAI and the development of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We tested the possible link between prior RAI treatment, disease presentation, and treatment outcomes.

Blood cancer is among the critical health concerns among people around the world and normally emanates from genetic and environmental issues. Early detection becomes essential, as the rate of death associated with it is high, to ensure that the rate of treatment success is up, and mortality reduced. This paper focuses on improving blood cancer diagnosis using advanced deep learning techniques like ResNetRS50, RegNetX016, AlexNet, Convnext, EfficientNet, Inception_V3, Xception, and VGG19.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Rochester, USA.
Context: TIO, a paraneoplastic disorder characterised by renal phosphate wasting, is cured by surgical removal of the culprit tumour. Despite correct localization, some remain refractory to intervention, resulting in substantial long-term medical complications.
Aim: We aim to identify risk factors associated with a refractory outcome.
Dedifferentiation of a Chondrosarcoma of the Larynx: A Case Report.
Head Neck
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, USA.
Background: Chondrosarcomas of the larynx, relatively rare tumors with low grade pathology in approximately 95% of cases, can most often be managed with conservation laryngeal procedures. Dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas are much more rare and aggressive requiring more aggressive surgical extirpation.
Methods: A patient underwent three debulking procedures for a laryngeal chondrosarcoma Grade I/II histologically over a 2.
Reported outcomes following cytoreductive surgery for colorectal peritoneal metastases: A systematic review to inform evidence-based practice and international consensus.
Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe), Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Aim: Cytoreductive surgery provides a chance for long-term survival and cure in selected patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases. As clinical and academic interest in this field increases, heterogeneity in outcome reporting hinders the valid and meaningful synthesis of data into high-quality meta-analyses. The aim of this systemic review was to investigate variability in outcome reporting following cytoreductive surgery with or without intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal peritoneal metastases.
