概括
在最初的MRI上,月经时间超强度预测自免疫性脑炎后的耐治疗性. 随访核磁共振成像时的结构性大脑变化不能预测这种结果,这表明其他因素也参与了发展耐火性发作.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 神经免疫学 神经免疫学
- 发病学 (Epileptology) 是一个专业的学科.
背景情况:
- 自身免疫性脑炎 (AE) 可以导致具有挑战性的耐治疗性 (TRE).
- 确定TRE的预测因子对于改善患者的治疗结果和指导AE的未来研究至关重要.
- 了解脑后TRE背后的机制对于开发有针对性的疗法至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 确定自身免疫性脑炎 (AE) 后治疗耐药性 (TRE) 的临床和成像预测因素.
- 调查MRI初始发现和随访体积变化在预测AE患者长期控制中的作用.
主要方法:
- 2012-2017年对患有自身免疫性脑炎 (抗体阳性和血清阴性) 的成年人进行了回顾性队列研究.
- 分析了临床数据和初始/后续MRI扫描 (包括形态测量分析) 以确定发作自由的预测因素.
- 收集了关于状态和停止抗药物 (ASM) 的长期随访数据.
主要成果:
- 在有足够的随访的37名受试者中,57%实现了无发作,35%停止了ASM.
- 在最初的MRI上,月经时间超强度是持续发作的唯一独立预测因子 (OR 27.3).
- 随访MRI形态分析显示,TRE和没有TRE的患者之间脑容积没有显著差异.
结论:
- 在急性MRI上,月经时间超强度是脑后治疗耐药性的显著预测因素.
- 在随访MRI上,结构性大脑体积变化不能预测TRE,这表明非结构性因素可能有助于其发展.
- 这些发现强调了早期MRI发现在预测AE后耐火性方面的重要性,并建议进一步调查潜在机制.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
217
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Seizures: Classification
436
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
