Spatial MEG laterality maps for language: clinical applications in epilepsy.
Functional imaging is increasingly being used to provide a noninvasive alternative to intracarotid sodium amobarbitol testing (i.e., the Wada test). Although magnetoencephalography (MEG) has shown significant potential in this regard, the resultant output is often reduced to a simplified estimate of laterality. Such estimates belie the richness of functional imaging data and consequently limit ...
متن کاملCombined EEG/MEG Can Outperform Single Modality EEG or MEG Source Reconstruction in Presurgical Epilepsy Diagnosis
We investigated two important means for improving source reconstruction in presurgical epilepsy diagnosis. The first investigation is about the optimal choice of the number of epileptic spikes in averaging to (1) sufficiently reduce the noise bias for an accurate determination of the center of gravity of the epileptic activity and (2) still get an estimation of the extent of the irritative zone...
متن کاملSignificance of MEG in Presurgical Epilepsy Evaluation
Magnetoencephalography (MEG), as a non-invasive procedure, records magnetic fields generated by spontaneous or evoked brain activity. Presurgical evaluation of pharmacoresistent patients with focal epilepsy is currently the most frequent diagnostic application. The source of epileptic or averaged evoked activity is localised and then overlaid onto magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient...
متن کاملUsefulness of WhatsApp for teaching diagnosis of skin conditions to interns
Background and Aim: Distance E-learning has been proved as an efficient modality of learning in medical education. Use of “social media” for e-learning is an emerging issue in medical education. There is no study about WhatsApp in the medical education literature from Iran. To determine the effectiveness of the WhatsApp application, for dermatology education to 6th year medical students (intern...
متن کاملUsefulness of Serum NT-proBNP in Diagnosis of Generalized Seizures in Egyptian Children
Background Seizures may occur in as many as 1% of children. The most urgent type of seizures is generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS). N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) has been considered as a promising biomarker in numerous acute illnesses. We aimed to evaluate usefulness of NT‐proBNP for diagnosis of g...
