Postoperative reduction of anti‐seizure medication is associated with cognitive improvement in seizure‐free patients after anterior temporal lobectomy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine whether postoperative reduction of anti‐seizure medication (ASM) burden is associated with cognitive improvement after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) in seizure‐free patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data for adult patients with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent unilateral ATL between ...

The Wada Test: contributions to standardization of the stimulus for language and memory assessment

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2004
The Wada Test (WT) is part of the presurgical evaluation for refractory epilepsy. The WT is not standardized and the protocols differ in important ways, including stimulus type of material presented for memory testing, timing of presentations and methods

Pathological hippocampal–cortical hypersynchronization disrupts memory in temporal lobe epilepsy: A multimodal intracranial electroencephalographic–functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Memory impairment is a common comorbidity in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and is thought to arise from hippocampal dysfunction and disrupted interactions within a distributed memory network involving medial temporal, frontal, and parietal cortical regions.

Discordant Wada and fMRI language lateralization: a case report

Journal of International Medical Research
Functional MRI (fMRI) is gaining importance in the preoperative assessment of language for presurgical planning. However, inconsistencies with the Wada test might arise.

Cross‐material memory prediction: Influence of preoperative visual memory on postoperative verbal memory change after left anterior temporal lobe resection in people with epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Left anterior temporal lobe resection (TLR) in people with epilepsy is associated with a high risk of postoperative verbal memory decline. Whereas substantial evidence supports the role of preoperative verbal memory in predicting postoperative verbal memory change, the potential contribution of preoperative visual memory has been ...

Practical steps to develop a transcriptomic test for blood doping

Translational Exercise Biomedicine
Blood doping remains a significant problem that threatens the integrity of sport. The current indirect method for detecting blood doping involves the longitudinal measurement of an athlete’s haematological variables and identification of suspicious ...

Left hippocampectomy in an epilepsy patient with right hemisphere language dominance

Cogent Medicine, 2017
Background: The left hippocampus is believed to play an important role in memory function. Thus, left hippocampectomy should be carefully performed. However, the left hippocampus may be less important for memory in patients with right hemisphere language

The lesioned brain: still a small world?

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
The intra-arterial amobarbital procedure (IAP or Wada test) is used to determine language lateralization and contralateral memory functioning in patients eligible for neurosurgery because of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

Nucleus basalis functional connectivity aberrations in temporal lobe epilepsy and improvements after successful epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Resective surgery achieves seizure freedom in approximately 60%–80% of patients with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), yet the extent to which seizure cessation permits recovery of disrupted functional brain networks remains unclear.

Hypoxia & Hyperoxia

Deutsche Zeitschrift für Sportmedizin, 2019
Cobalt is a heavy metal, that wasused between the 1940s and 1980s as a therapeutic agent to treat anemic diseases. Similar to hypoxia, cobalt stabilizes the HIFsubunits and stimulates the renal production of erythropoietin.
