Localizing value of cutaneous ictal phenomena: A systematic review

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Clinical observation of autonomic signs during seizures can aid in localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ). We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate the localizing value of ictal cutaneous phenomena—piloerection, sweating, pallor, and flushing—in focal epilepsy and their relevance to presurgical evaluation ...

Temperature homeostasis disruption and hypothalamic alterations in experimental drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Elevated body temperature may increase seizure risk, yet the relationship between thermoregulation and seizures, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remains poorly understood. We investigated whether thermoregulatory control is altered in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), as such impairment could reduce the ability of ...

Breast Modular Resection Surgery Teaching Model Improves the Effect of Teaching Under Regional Anesthesia for Breast Conserving Surgery and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Day Surgery

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
This study validates a novel Breast Modular Resection (BMR) teaching model for breast‐conserving surgery under regional anesthesia. The BMR approach significantly improves surgical proficiency, reduces re‐excision rates and pain, and facilitates safe day‐case discharge with superior cosmetic outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Breast‐conserving surgery (BCS)
