Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein -like protein 5 in anterior temporal neocortex of patients with intractable epilepsy
Objective(s):EMAP-like Protein 5 (EML5) is a new echinoderm microtubule-associated protein that is expressed in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of EML5 in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients presenting with intractable epilepsy (IE). Materials and Methods:Western blot assays were performed to determine EML5 expression in 36 su...
متن کاملFactors related to successful antiepileptic drug withdrawal after anterior temporal lobectomy for medial temporal lobe epilepsy
OBJECTIVE To assess the rate of successful antiepileptic drug (AED) discontinuation, prognostic factors and proper time of AED withdrawal after surgery for medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). METHODS We reviewed 171 consecutive patients who underwent resective surgery for MTLE. All patients were followed up for more than two postoperative years. AEDs were slowly tapered with an individualiz...
متن کاملA cost-effectiveness analysis of anterior temporal lobectomy for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.
Patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy are potential candidates for anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), in which epileptogenic temporal lobe tissue is localized and surgically removed. This surgical approach can eliminate or drastically reduce seizures in the majority of patients. The authors used a decision-analysis model to examine the cost-effectiveness of a surgical evalu...
متن کاملMemory outcome 2 years after anterior temporal lobectomy in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy
PURPOSE Memory decline is often observed after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), particularly in patients with dominant hemisphere resections. However, the follow-up length has been 1 year or less in most studies. Our aims were to examine postoperative memory changes over a longer period and to identify baseline demographic and clinical predictors of memory outcome. METHODS We administered m...
متن کاملEarly antiepileptic drug reduction following anterior temporal lobectomy for medically intractable complex partial epilepsy
PURPOSE To determine the safety, in our practice, of allowing patient preference to influence the timing of antiepileptic drug (AED) reduction, once they became seizure-free after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). METHODS Thirty patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy for medically intractable complex partial epilepsy at Loma Linda University Medical Center between December 1st 1991 a...
