The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a newly developed robot-assisted frameless stereotactic system for deep electrode implantation and radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC). Deep-electrode implantation was performed in the bilateral mesial temporal lobes of seven patients. Following the implantation of the deep electrodes through the monitored designed path...

This paper considers the implementation of semiparametric methods in the empirical analysis of consumer demand. The application is to the estimation of the Engel curve relationship and uses the British Family Expenditure Survey. Household composition is modelled using an extended partially linear framework. This is shown to provide a useful method for pooling non-parametric Engel curves across ...

The prediction of leaf appearance rate (LAR) is an important part of many crop simulation models. Most wheat simulations models assume that LAR is affected by temperature and photoperiod. This assumption ignores the fact that seed reserves contribute to a greater LAR of the first two leaves and that the LAR of subsequent leaves decreases as a result of an increase in the distance that each leaf...

PURPOSE To identify predictors of seizure recurrence following posterior quadrant epilepsy surgery. METHODS Between 1983 and 2008, 43 medically refractory epilepsy patients underwent posterior quadrant epilepsy surgery. Epilepsy surgery involved the occipital lobe in all cases; some cases also included resection of the adjacent parietal or temporal cortex. Using a logistic regression model, w...

To estimate children's long-term seizure outcomes after hemispheric surgery and the associated predictors.A systematic review of 4 databases and a meta-analysis were performed from January 1, 1995 to August 31, 2015. The databases included PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Web of Science; patients were classified into the Engel Class I group and the Engel Class II to IV group, according to th...

Four new species of the subgenus Nanoplebeia Engel (genus Plebeia Schwarz) are described and figured as: (Nanoplebeia) pleres Engel, species, from Venezuela; P. (N.) asthenes Bolivia; orphne Ecuador Peru; chondra Ecuador. A key is presented to subgenus.

RATIONALE We describe seizure and neuropsychological outcome obtained after CAH in patients with TLE and normal MRI evaluated in the modern imaging era. METHODS Forty-five adult consecutive patients with TLE and normal MRI were studied. All patients had neuropsychological testing, interictal and ictal EEG recordings and MRI. They were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=18), included patients...
