Question: Does epilepsy affect neurocognitive functions in pediatric drug-resistant focal epilepsy?
Finding: Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) connectome could identify new imaging markers for seizure-associated structural abnormalities. New markers reflect deviations of local efficiency in neurocognitive networks and provide outstanding discretionary capacity for neurocognitive impairments, achieving an accuracy range of 90%–98% in the independent test patients.
Meaning: Supplementary MRI-driven decisions could be performed for personalized interventions to mitigate long-term neurocognitive effects.

We often overlook the importance of several safety issues such as identification of patients, timeout procedure, hand hygiene, handoff communication, and many others. This ignorance, along with many other issues, leads to medical error being ranked as a third leading cause of death in the U.S. Consequently, quality improvement (QI) has become one of the major subjects in healthcare despite...

Trends in survival rate for very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants in Korea, 1967-2007

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(3):237-242. Published online March 15, 2008

To investigate the trends in the survival rate (SR) for very low birth weight infants (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI) in Korea, a total of 43 articles pertaining to SR were analyzed, covering the years from 1967 to 2007. The changes in SR were compared using 5 year periods. The SR for VLBWI has increased remarkably, from...
