The authors insist on the real improvement of ambulatory EEG recording due to the new 8-channel cassette recorder (Medilog 9000*). They emphasized: (1) its maniability with full independence of patients and physiological sleep recordings at home; (2) its viability, the same as conventional EEG with 8-channel montages; (3) its performant video-screen replay system, with easy paper transcription. The results in 50 ambulatory epileptic patients out of the 100 examinations actually realized in the EEG laboratory with this new device are detailed. Most interesting, in addition to sleep recording, is recognizing the number and the time repartition of paroxysmal discharges every 24 h; increasing the chances of recording randomly occurring seizures and the future chronobiological studies. The indications in epileptic seizures are myoclonic and 'temporal' epilepsies and also, with one channel for ECG recording, the diagnosis of attack of uncertain etiology.

Background: Communicating vessels among hepatic veins in patients with tumors invading/compressing hepatic veins at their caval confluence facilitate new surgical solutions. Although their recognition by intraoperative ultrasound has been described, the possibility of preoperative detection still remains uncertain. We aimed to develop a model to predict their presence before surgery.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits and outcomes of adjuvant radiation therapy on adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) patients. All patients with ACC that were reported between 2010 and 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. A forward-stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent risk factors.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the care burden in informal caregivers is huge. Summarizing factors associated with the informal caregivers burden can improve our understanding of providing proactive support to informal caregivers caring for patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) at risk, and provides evidence for clinical practice.

Evaluation of the effect of carotid sinus blockade on hemodynamic stability in carotid surgery: A retrospective study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Eskisehir Osmangazi University Medical Faculty, Eskişehir, Türkiye.
This study assesses the effect of carotid sinus blockade applied with a local anesthetic on hemodynamic parameters during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) operations performed under general anesthesia. The medical records of patients who underwent CEA under general anesthesia between January 2020 and December 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. It was recorded whether the patients received carotid sinus block with 2 mL of 2% prilocaine.

Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Despite therapeutic advancements, there remains a critical need for reliable, noninvasive methods to monitor multiple myeloma. Circulating plasma cells (CPCs) in peripheral blood are robust and independent prognostic markers, but their detection is challenging due to their low abundance.
