To determine the lateralizing value of peri-ictal headache, the authors conducted a standardized interview of 100 patients with partial epilepsy, 60 with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and 40 with extratemporal epilepsy (ETE). Peri-ictal headache occurred in 47 of 100 (47%) patients. Peri-ictal headache was more likely to be ipsilateral to the seizure onset in TLE (27 of 30 = 90%) than in ETE (tw...

We investigated the effects of clinical characteristics and the interval between maintenance visits on incidence of peri-implant pathology in a sample of 1,350 patients treated with dental implants (270 cases of peri-implant pathology and 1,080 healthy controls). The chi-square test was used to evaluate differences between cases and controls in the presence of dental plaque, bleeding, peri-impl...

Introduction In neurosurgery, the relationship among tumor mass and peri-tumoral structures including peri-tumoral edema are important for planning surgical trajectory and crucial for diagnosis, tumor excision, and post-surgical outcome [1]. Conventionally, T2WI and Gadolinium(Gd)-T1WI provide the information of, tumor mass, and peri-tumoral edema. The recent development of diffusion tensor MRI...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic peri-lead edema is a rare complication of deep brain stimulation that has been reported to develop 4 to 120 days postoperatively. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report the case of a 63-year-old Hispanic man with an 8-year history of Parkinson's disease who underwent bilateral placement of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation leads and presented with acute, symptomatic,...

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is the most lethal type of stroke. Half of these deaths occur within the acute phase. Frequently observed deterioration during the acute phase is often due to rebleeding or peri-hematomal expansion. The exact pathogenesis that leads to rebleeding or peri-hemorrhagic edema remains under much controversy. Numerous trials have investigated potential pred...

PURPOSE This retrospective study evaluated the relationship between the timing of peri-implantitis diagnosis and marginal bone level after a 5-year follow-up of non-surgical peri-implantitis treatment. METHODS Thirty-three patients (69 implants) were given peri-implantitis diagnosis in 2008-2009 in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Among them, 31 implants from 16 patients were inclu...

Abstract Introduction The investigation of peri-implant diseases risk indicators helps to prevent and target treatment techniques. Objective aim this cross-sectional study was determine the occurrence peri-implantitis its potential indicator factors, besides assess long-term success survival rates dental implants after 8 10 years function. Material method For this, fifty individuals who had rec...

Peripheral nerve injuries can occur at any time during the peri-operative period. The long-term disability that results may have serious consequences for a patient. The incidence of peri-operative nerve injuries can be reduced by anaesthetists being aware of their causes and pathophysiology. This review article aims to explain the incidence, pathophysiology and medicolegal implications of peri-...

To examine the association between self-perceived pain (SPP), clinical and radiographic peri-implant parameters, biomarker levels among smokers never with without peri-implantitis. Sixty individuals (20 peri-implantitis [group-1], 20 [group-2] [control-group]) were included. SPP was evaluated using a numeric rating scale (NPRS). Peri-implant plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on (B...

OBJECTIVES Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ uptake, myocardial high energy content and histology were examined in different zones of hearts from patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS Unfractionated homogenates were prepared from left ventricular samples obtained in three zones of each heart: an infarct-remote zone, an outer peri-infarct zone, and an inner peri-infarct zon...
