Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of understanding how well preventative measures against postoperative infections are being implemented before strategizing improvements.
- It presents findings from three surveys conducted by the Observatory of Infection in Surgery, revealing that many healthcare professionals are unaware of infection rates in their units and lack knowledge of key prevention practices.
- The surveys highlight a significant gap between scientific evidence and actual clinical practices, emphasizing the need for better compliance with preventive guidelines across various surgical specialties.

The use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to treat non-spine bone metastases (NSBM) is becoming increasingly common in clinical practice. The clinical advantages of SBRT include good pain control and high local control rates, although only limited data are available. The Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR) SBRT group recently convened a task force of experts in the field to address key questions related to SBRT for NSBM, including treatment indications, planning, techniques, and dose fractionation.

Antiseizure medication withdrawal in seizure-free patients with PCDH19-related epilepsy: A multinational cohort survey.
Seizure
August 2020
Epilepsy Unit, Department of Neurology, Hospital Ruber Internacional. Madrid, Spain.
Purpose: PCDH19-related epilepsy is usually refractory to current antiseizure medications (ASM), but seizures are easier to control especially after the second decade of life. Nonetheless, there is no evidence regarding the withdrawal of ASM in this clinical scenario. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of attempts to discontinue ASM in seizure-free patients with PCDH19-related epilepsy.

Epilepsy Unit, Department of Neurology Hospital Ruber Internacional Madrid Spain.
Several lines of research have linked olfactory regions with the pathophysiology of focal epilepsies. Among those regions, the piriform cortex represents the major part of the primary olfactory cortex. According to these data, we raised the hypothesis that in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis exists an interictal dysfunction of olfactory processing that could be more significant compared to patients with extra-hippocampal focal epilepsy and healthy controls.

- - The MDS-UPDRS is a new tool designed to evaluate Parkinson's disease and this study aimed to analyze its score changes based on disease duration and Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stages in a large group of patients.
- - The research involved 3,206 patients, revealing that scores for the MDS-UPDRS Parts I through IV increased significantly across HY stages and in 5-year increments for the first 15 years of the disease.
- - Specifically, the study found average point increases for MDS-UPDRS components according to HY stage and disease duration, indicating a progressive worsening of symptoms in early to mid-stages of Parkinson's disease.
Introduction And Objectives: In recent years, the exclusive use of arterial grafts in coronary surgery has been the surgical option to achieve maximum survival and minimum recurrence of coronary events. The aim of this study was to analyze the surgical results and follow up of this approach.
Patients And Methods: Over a period of six and a half years, 87 patients underwent coronary surgery using arterial grafts alone for revascularization.
