The Relationship Between Reduced Hand Dexterity and Brain Structure Abnormality in Older Adults.
Geriatrics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA.
Background: Hand dexterity is affected by normal aging and neuroinflammatory processes in the brain. Understanding the relationship between hand dexterity and brain structure in neurotypical older adults may be informative about prodromal pathological processes, thus providing an opportunity for earlier diagnosis and intervention to improve functional outcomes.
Methods: this study investigates the associations between hand dexterity and brain measures in neurotypical older adults (≥65 years) using the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Object naming after epilepsy surgery in the dominant left temporal lobe: risk factors, time course and long-term outcome.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, Erlangen, Bayern, Germany.
Background: Deterioration in naming function is a common sequelae after epilepsy surgery in the language-dominant temporal lobe but information on recovery and long-term outcome is scarce. We, therefore, assessed short-term and long-term outcome of object naming in patients undergoing surgery in the temporal lobe and determined factors affecting deterioration and recovery of naming function.
Method: Object naming (Boston naming test) before surgery, at early follow-up (FU, 6-12 months) and late FU (≥2 years) was assessed in people with epilepsy (PWE) undergoing resections in the language-dominant left and non-dominant right temporal lobe.
The comparison of hand grip strength between healthy volunteers and individuals diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Epilepsy Behav
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey. Electronic address:
Purpose: Hand grip strength (HGS) is crucial for the performance of daily activities and has been linked to various clinical parameters, including morbidity, mortality, and both physical and cognitive functions. While HGS has been shown to decline in numerous diseases, it has not been previously examined in patients diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. This study aims to investigate the differences in hand grip strength between individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy and healthy volunteers.

A 43-year-old man was admitted into the emergency room at our hospital after presenting with a tonic-clonic seizure. MRI showed a right-side operculo-insular tumor. This was treated by performing a craniotomy under general anesthesia with intraoperative monitoring.

Background And Objectives: Stereo-EEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTHC) has been proposed as relatively safe from a cognitive perspective; however, there is a lack of evidence based on neuropsychological assessments supporting this. This study is the first prospective evaluation of neuropsychological outcomes associated with stereo-EEG-guided RFTHC in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy.
Methods: This cohort study involved prospective recruitment of consecutive patients undergoing stereo-EEG from 2 Australian centers.
