Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Focal Cortical Dysplasia: Challenges in Translating Algorithms Into Clinical Practice
Abstract: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are malformations of cortical development and one of the most common pathologies causing pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy. Resective neurosurgery yields high success rates, especially if the full extent of the lesion is correctly identified and completely removed. The visual assessment of magnetic resonance imaging does not pinpoint the FCD in 30%-50% of cases, and half of all patients with FCD are not amenable to epilepsy surgery, partly because the FCD could not be sufficiently localized. Computational approaches to FCD detection are an active area of research, benefitting from advancements in computer vision. Automatic FCD detection is a signific...
Epilepsy Mortality: Leading Causes of Death, Co-morbidities, Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention
We would like to acknowledge that Dr. Luke Allen , University College London, has acted as a coordinator and has contributed to the preparation of the proposal for this Research Topic.
Sudden Death in Epilepsy: Basic and Translational Research
Sudden Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of death in people with epilepsy, accounting for up to 17% of all deaths. Research interest is exploding, focusing on epidemiology, basic mechanisms, identification of risk factors, and biomarkers. New wearable technologies are approved or in development. These incorporate accelerometers and advanced heart rate detection, which are linked to smart phones. The advent of FDA approved detection devices now allows immediate intervention by family and loved ones. The next frontier for SUDEP remains effective prevention strategies, which will likely include new devices and pharmacologic interventions. This volume is organized into three sections: Basic and Physiologic Mechanisms; Clinical Risk Factors and Inventories; and Very Early Research into Pharmacologic Interventions. It is our hope that this eBook will inform clinicians of key advances in the field, and to foster and stimulate basic and translational research with one purpose: To prevent SUDEP in those at risk.
Artistic Individuality: A Study of Selected 20th Century Artist's Novels.
In this study of a series of artist novels, individuality is elucidated by childhood experiences, sensuality and receptivity, the urge for self-expression, relation to nature, and creative work. Individuality is essentially the recognition of one’s self as a unique part of a whole, which is apt to be discovered in kinship with nature and expressed in aesthetics that stem from an appreciation of nature. The featured novels are Willa Cather’s The Song of the Lark, M. Allen Cunningham’s Lost Son, James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, W. Somerset Maugham’s The Moon and Sixpence, Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle, John Updike’s Seek My Face, and Virginia Woolf ’s To the Lighthouse.
The Treatment of Epilepsy
A practical reference to the medical and surgicaltreatment of epilepsy The third edition of The Treatment of Epilepsy has beenthoroughly updated. It is a reference work, but has a strongpractical bias, and is designed to assist neurologists,neurosurgeons and other clinicians at all levels who are involvedin the treatment of patients with epilepsy. It is a definitivesource of clinical information to guide clinical practice andrational therapy. Written and edited by leading experts, many actively involvedwith the International League Against Epilepsy, this newedition: covers the recent advances in the principles and approaches toepilepsy therapy, the introduction of new drugs and the developmentof new surgical techniques contains 26 completely new chapters and 61 newcontributors includes pharmacological properties and prescribing informationfor all drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy features the important contribution of a new editor JeromeEngel Jr, Professor of Neurology at the University of CaliforniaSchool of Medicine in Los Angeles.
Biomedical Signals Based Computer-Aided Diagnosis for Neurological Disorders
Biomedical signals provide unprecedented insight into abnormal or anomalous neurological conditions. The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system plays a key role in detecting neurological abnormalities and improving diagnosis and treatment consistency in medicine. This book covers different aspects of biomedical signals-based systems used in the automatic detection/identification of neurological disorders. Several biomedical signals are introduced and analyzed, including electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), magnetoencephalogram (MEG), and electromyogram (EMG). It explains the role of the CAD system in processing biomedical signals and the application to neurological disorder diagnosis. The book provides the basics of biomedical signal processing, optimization methods, and machine learning/deep learning techniques used in designing CAD systems for neurological disorders.
Burden of Illness in People with Epilepsy: From Population-Based Studies to Precision Medicine
Epilepsy is a common and chronic neurological disease that is characterized by recurrent seizures which impose a major burden on patients, their caregivers, and society. Worldwide more than 39 million people are affected by epilepsy. The aim of this Research Topic was to provide evidence that personalized translational epilepsy research will benefit patients through targeted experimental, clinical and network research.
Pattern Recognition. ICPR International Workshops and Challenges
This 8-volumes set constitutes the refereed of the 25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Workshops, ICPR 2020, held virtually in Milan, Italy and rescheduled to January 10 - 11, 2021 due to Covid-19 pandemic. The 416 full papers presented in these 8 volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from about 700 submissions. The 46 workshops cover a wide range of areas including machine learning, pattern analysis, healthcare, human behavior, environment, surveillance, forensics and biometrics, robotics and egovision, cultural heritage and document analysis, retrieval, and women at ICPR2020.
