Decision Making Algorithm for Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is one of the most challenging spinal disorders associated with broad range of clinical and radiological presentation. Correct selection of fusion levels in surgical planning for the management of adult spinal deformity is a complex task. Several classification systems and algorithms exist to assist surgeons in determining the appropriate levels to be instrumented. ...

Risky Decision Making in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy

It is not known whether patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) differ from healthy people in decision making under risk, i.e., when the decision-making context offers explicit information about options, probabilities, and consequences already from the beginning. In this study, we adopted the Game of Dice Task-Double to investigate decision making under risk in a group of 36 patients wi...

Ambiguous Decision-Making in Adults with Epilepsy

Introduction: There is a high prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in epilepsy. ASDs are characterised by a deficit of social interaction, social communication, and restricted, repetitive behaviours. Previous research by Wakeford and colleagues reported higher autistic characteristics in adults with epilepsy who had no diagnosis of an ASD. A subsequent study found that while sameness b...

Role of fMRI in the decision-making process: epilepsy surgery for children.

Functional MRI (fMRI) is increasingly being used to evaluate children and adolescents who are candidates for surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy. It has the advantage of being noninvasive and well tolerated by young people. By identifying important functional regions within the brain, including unpredictable patterns of functional reorganization, it can aid in surgical decision-making. H...

Decision-making in temporal lobe epilepsy surgery: The contribution of basic non-invasive tests

PURPOSE We studied the extent to which the widely used diagnostic tests contribute to the decision whether or not to perform temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery in The Netherlands. METHODS This nation-wide, retrospective study included 201 consecutive patients referred for TLE surgery screening. The individual and combined contribution of nine index tests to the consensus decision to perform...
