Temporal-insular spreading time in temporal lobe epilepsy as a predictor of seizure outcome after temporal lobectomy

Xi Zhang, Guojun Zhang, Tao Yu, Cuiping Xu, Jin Zhu, Xiaoming Yan, Kai Ma, Runshi Gao

Summary: This study analyzed the surgical outcomes of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) who underwent temporal and insular SEEG recordings. The findings suggest that insular involvement may be associated with failed anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and poorer seizure outcomes. The study also identified temporal-insular spreading time (TIST) as an independent predictor of postoperative seizure-free outcomes in these patients.

Depicting and predicting changes of lung after lobectomy for cancer by using CT images

Yanan Wu, Haowen Pang, Jing Shen, Shouliang Qi, Jie Feng, Yong Yue, Wei Qian, Jianlin Wu

Summary: Lobectomy is an effective therapy for lung cancer, and this study assessed the changes in lung and lobe volume after lobectomy and predicted postoperative lung volume. The study found that lung volume decreased after lobectomy, but the attenuation distribution changed little. Machine learning models were used to predict postoperative lung volume, which can help with surgical planning and improve prognosis.

Depicting and predicting changes of lung after lobectomy for cancer by using CT images

Yanan Wu, Haowen Pang, Jing Shen, Shouliang Qi, Jie Feng, Yong Yue, Wei Qian, Jianlin Wu

Summary: This study assessed lung and lobe changes after lobectomy and predicted postoperative lung volume using a convolutional neural network model. The study included 135 lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy and formulated a machine learning model to predict lung volume. The findings revealed decreased total lung volume and little change in attenuation distribution after lobectomy, and the predictive models achieved a mean absolute percentage error of 9.8% and 14.2%. Radiological findings and predictive models for postoperative lung volume can enhance lobectomy planning and prognosis improvement.

Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test: Comparison of traditional and qualitative scoring systems after unilateral temporal lobectomy

Denise Ribas Jamus, Maria Joana Mader-Joaquim, Luciana de Paula Souza, Luciano de Paola, Christiane del Claro-Hopker, Vera Cristina Terra, Carlos Eduardo Soares Silvado

Summary: This study compared the performance on the ROCF of patients after unilateral anterior temporal lobectomy using two different scoring systems. The results showed that RATL patients performed worse than LATL patients in delayed recall. The Taylor and Loring scoring systems showed different sensitivity and specificity for differentiating visuospatial memory deficits. Further analysis revealed differences in certain items between the groups. The study suggests that combining these two scoring systems can maximize sensitivity and specificity.

Surgical Outcomes and EEG Prognostic Factors After Stereotactic Laser Amygdalohippocampectomy for Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Shasha Wu, Naoum P. Issa, Maureen Lacy, David Satzer, Sandra L. Rose, Carina W. Yang, John M. Collins, Xi Liu, Taixin Sun, Vernon L. Towle, Douglas R. Nordli, Peter C. Warnke, James X. Tao

Summary: Scalp EEG findings of IRSA and non-lateralizing or contra-lateralizing seizure onset were negatively correlated with post-surgical seizure freedom after SLAH, with the combination of these features strongly predicting seizure recurrence after surgery. Scalp EEG findings were the most clearly associated with seizure outcomes after SLAH among the variables assessed.

Summary: This study found that diffuse connectivity in children with temporal lobe epilepsy is associated with lower preoperative cognition and postoperative cognitive improvement. These findings help understand neurocognitive function in children with temporal lobe epilepsy and the expected changes after surgery.

Recovery of glymphatic system function in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy after surgery

Chao Zhang, Kai Xu, Haiyan Zhang, Jingyun Sha, Hongyu Yang, Houliang Zhao, Nan Chen, Kuncheng Li

Summary: This study investigated the recovery of the glymphatic system (GS) function in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) using diffusion tensor image analysis. The results revealed a significant decrease in GS function before surgery in TLE patients compared to healthy controls, but a significant increase after successful ATL. Furthermore, the GS index was significantly correlated with disease duration.

Critical area for memory decline after mesial temporal resection in epilepsy patients

Dahye Kim, June Sic Kim, Woorim Jeong, Min-Sup Shin, Chun Kee Chung

Summary: Selective resection in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy surgery has been shown to effectively preserve postoperative memory function, with specific areas of resection correlating with memory decline. This suggests the importance of selective resection to protect memory function in temporal lobe surgery.

Depression and suicide after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery: A systematic review

Christopher D. Hue, R. Grace Couper, Tresah C. Antaya, Manuel Herrera, Jaime Parra, Jorge G. Burneo

Summary: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery on depression prevalence and severity, as well as the incidence of de novo depression and suicide following surgery. Most studies reported a reduction in depression prevalence and severity postoperatively, but the overall effect remains unclear. Further long-term studies are needed to elucidate the impact of surgery on depression and suicide.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate dream content before and after anterior temporal lobectomy. The results showed a significant decrease in physical aggression in dreams of patients after surgery, while there were no significant changes in dream content in other cases. The study found that the temporal lobe may be associated with aggressive dream content.

Drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy with temporal encephaloceles: How far to resect

Kelsey M. Smith, Kiran M. Kanth, Karl N. Krecke, Eva C. Alden, Jay S. Patel, Robert J. Witte, Jamie J. Van Gompel, Elson So, Jeffrey W. Britton, Gregory D. Cascino, Lily C. Wong-Kisiel

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical extent on seizure outcome and neuropsychometric outcome in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and temporal encephaloceles. The results showed that there was no statistical difference in seizure outcome based on surgical extent, while limited resection provided better preservation of verbal memory in dominant temporal lobe epilepsy patients.

Pregnancy and Use of Antiseizure Medication

Julie Werenberg Dreier, Kimford J. J. Meador, Jakob Christensen

Summary: Antiseizure medications (ASMs) are commonly used by pregnant women for various conditions, but there is limited evidence on the cognitive risks of in utero exposure. Healthcare professionals and pregnant women face the challenge of balancing the risks and benefits of different treatments due to the lack of robust safety data. High-quality data on the safety of ASMs used in pregnancy are urgently needed, but randomized clinical trials are not possible in pregnant women. Therefore, evidence must be obtained from observational studies.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of mood, anxiety disorders, and suicidality in patients with newly diagnosed focal epilepsy. The results showed that 43.5% of patients had a psychiatric diagnosis, with 38.6% meeting the criteria for mood and/or anxiety disorders, and 21.6% reporting suicidal ideation. Major depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, panic disorders, and agoraphobia were associated with suicidality.
