Localizing Seizure-Onset Zones in Presurgical Evaluation of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy by Electroencephalography/fMRI: Effectiveness of Alternative Thresholding Strategies

Simultaneous EEG/fMRI is an effective noninvasive tool for identifying and localizing the SOZ in patients with focal epilepsy. In this study, we evaluated different thresholding strategies in EEG/fMRI for the assessment of hemodynamic responses to IEDs in the SOZ of drug-resistant epilepsy.

Clinical use of temporary percutaneous left ventricular assist devices

Temporary percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (TPLVAD) can be inserted and removed in awake patients. They substitute left ventricular function for a period of up to a few weeks and provide an excellent backup and bridge to recovery or decision.

Bacterial leakage through temporary fillings in core buildup composite material - an in vitro study

To evaluate the ability of the provisional filling material Cavit-W alone or in combination with different restorative materials to prevent bacterial leakage through simulated access cavities in a resin buildup material.
