Telemedicine for Individuals with epilepsy: Recommendations from the International League Against Epilepsy Telemedicine Task Force.

Worldwide, People with Epilepsy (PWE) are confronted with several barriers to face-to-face consultations. These obstacles hamper appropriate clinical follow-up and also increase the treatment gap for Epilepsy. Telemedicine holds the potential to enhance management as follow-up visits for PWE are focused on more on clinical history and counselling rather than physical examination.

Embolization for the treatment of renal artery pseudoaneurysm following surgical nephrolithotomy: A case report.

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication following trauma or renal surgery, leading to hematuria and deterioration of renal function. Selective renal artery embolization is an interventional radiologic procedure that can be used to treat these complications.

Abdominal effusion revealing an exophytic hydatid cyst of the liver has developed under mesocolic.

The hydatid cyst of the liver is a parasitic disease due to the development of echinococcosis granulosus. It is common in livestock regions in developing countries but is gaining interest in the West due to migratory flows. If it remains a benign and asymptomatic affection for a long time, its natural evolution is often enamelled of complication which can put at the risk of vital prognosis.
