Background: The fundamental pathophysiologic understanding of different seizure types in Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the distinct alterations of structural network in TLE patients with different seizure types and their relationships with cognitive and psychiatric symptoms.
Methods: Seventy-three patients with unilateral TLE, including 25 with uncontrolled focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS), 25 with controlled FBTCS and 23 with focal impaired awareness seizures (FIAS), as well as 26 healthy controls (HC), underwent the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan.

Background And Objectives: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is generally associated with focal brain atrophy, but little knowledge exists on possible disease-related hypertrophy of brain structures. We hypothesized that repeated seizures or adaptive plasticity may lead to focal brain hypertrophy and aimed to investigate associated clinical correlates.
Methods: In this cohort study, we included patients with mTLE undergoing detailed epilepsy evaluations and matched healthy volunteers (HVs) from 2 tertiary centers (discovery and validation cohorts).

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a treatment option for osteoarthritis of the knee. After undergoing TKA, patients can be treated with continuous passive motion (CPM); however, inconsistent results have been reported on the effectiveness of CPM as part of a rehabilitation strategy. This discrepancy may be due to the difference between the set-arc of CPM and real arcs of knee motion.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features of contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2)-IgG-associated seizures.
Methods: Nine patients were retrospectively collected from two epilepsy centers. For each patient we obtained a full clinical, neurophysiological, and MRI study along with detection of antineuronal autoantibodies from serum and CSF.
