Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The long-term efficacy and safety of responsive direct neurostimulation was assessed in adults with medically refractory partial onset seizures. METHODS: All participants were treated with a cranially implanted responsive neurostimulator that delivers stimulation to 1 or 2 seizure foci via chronically implanted electrodes when specific electrocorticographic patterns are detected (RNS System). Participants had completed a 2-year primarily open-label safety study (n = 65) or a 2-year randomized blinded controlled safety and efficacy study (n = 191); 230 participants transitioned into an ongoing 7-year study to assess safety and efficacy. RESULTS: The average participant was 34 (±11.4) years old with epilepsy for 19.6 (±11.4) years. The median preimplant frequency of disabling partial or generalized tonic-clonic seizures was 10.2 seizures a month. The median percent seizure reduction in the randomized blinded controlled trial was 44% at 1 year and 53% at 2 years (p < 0.0001, generalized estimating equation) and ranged from 48% to 66% over postimplant years 3 through 6 in the long-term study. Improvements in quality of life were maintained (p < 0.05). The most common serious device-related adverse events over the mean 5.4 years of follow-up were implant site infection (9.0%) involving soft tissue and neurostimulator explantation (4.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The RNS System is the first direct brain responsive neurostimulator. Acute and sustained efficacy and safety were demonstrated in adults with medically refractory partial onset seizures arising from 1 or 2 foci over a mean follow-up of 5.4 years. This experience supports the RNS System as a treatment option for refractory partial seizures. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class IV evidence that for adults with medically refractory partial onset seizures, responsive direct cortical stimulation reduces seizures and improves quality of life over a mean follow-up of 5.4 years.

Abstract

The location of former excavations of Parcze conglomerate in Olkusz, in which this rock has been exploited for about 600 years was shown. On the base of analysis of literature and authors’ own obser-vations specific features of this material of reddish colour, which was mostly used to built defensive walls, churches, mo-nasteries and secular buildings in Olkusz were presented. It is of fundamental significance for the history of this town. It was determined that this rock is characterised by maritime genesis (the presence of remnants of mollusks and echino-derms) and it comes from the Middle Jurassic period. The analysis of flora and vegetation connected with this specific substratum did not show differences in relation to common in this region excavations of carbonate rocks.

Abstract

Intractable epilepsy with painful partial motor seizures is a relatively rare and difficult disorder to treat. We evaluated the usefulness of botulinum toxin to reduce ictal pain. Two patients received two or four botulinum toxin (BTX) injections at one-to-two-month intervals. Patient 1 had painful seizures of the right arm and hand. Patient 2 had painful seizures involving the left foot and leg. Injections were discontinued after improved seizure control following resective surgery. Both patients received significant pain relief from the injections with analgesia lasting at least two months. Seizure severity was reduced, but seizure frequency and duration were unaffected. For these patients, BTX was effective in temporarily relieving pain associated with muscle contraction in simple partial motor seizures. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that modulation of motor end-organ feedback affects focal seizure generation. BTX is a safe and reversible treatment that should be considered as part of adjunctive therapy after failure to achieve control of painful partial motor seizures.

Abstract

The white Stork (Ciconia ciconia) bred in the communes Poddębice, Uniejów, Pęczniew and Zadzim (Central Poland) in 1984 at a density of 12.8 pairs/100 km2. The mean number of nestlings per nest occupied by a pair was 1.40 and the mean number of nestlings per nest with nestlings was 2.49. 85% of nests were situated on trees and 99% were up to 100 m from buildings. Corrected formulas for calculating values of JZG and JZa were given.

Abstract

Chapter 10 of the book "Epilepsy and Intensive Care Monitoring: Principles and Practice," is presented. It discusses the diagnosis of the epilepsy syndrome. It informs that in the epilepsy monitoring unit, all patients receive a preliminary epilepsy syndrome diagnosis based on their age, seizure types, neurological condition, and other clinical data and states that routine electroencephalography (EEG) might be a helpful event in syndrome detection.

Abstract

We report a rare case of symptomatic cardiac metastasis from a transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis diagnosed by echocardiography. A 75-year-old patient with a long history of neoplasm since 1999 and coronary artery disease with CABG in 2003, was admitted to our department. He underwent cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass with tumor excision. Histologically it was the same type of transitional cell neoplasm which was operated seven years before.
