RESUMO

Accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone is the fundamental key factor for successful epilepsy surgery. Despite the progress achieved in the field of neuroimaging, invasive intracranial recording is still the gold standard that helps recognize the patient population who may profit from surgery. Meticulous implantation of intracranial electrodes and judicious interpretation of their data is a definite need in a successful epilepsy program. Few centers in the Arab world are involved in that domain. Moreover, the society itself is not well informed to appreciate the potentials of surgical treatment of seizure disorders. In the review article, we will go over various types of intracranial recordings, discussing their indications, and the last updates for each. Some of the cases carried out at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon will be illustrated as examples of our current practice. Then, the future of epilepsy monitoring will be highlighted in brief

RESUMO

This study assessed whether training physicians on the Practical Approach to Lung Health [PAL] reduces drug prescribing and the cost of drugs prescribed to respiratory patients in the primary health care setting. Data were compared before and after training general practitioners on standard guidelines for case management of respiratory conditions in primary care. A total of 56 general practitioners practising in 25 health centres in 3 out of 12 governorates of Jordan participated in both the baseline survey [n = 6260 respiratory patients] and the impact survey [n = 2709 patients]. Training in PAL decreased by 12.2% the number of drugs prescribed per patient, increased the prescription of inhaled medications and reduced the mean cost of a drug prescription per patient by 8.7%

RESUMO

We assessed implementation of the Practical Approach to Lung Health [PAL] in primary care facilities in the Syrian Arab Republic and its short-term impact on respiratory care in patients aged 5+ years. After training on PAL for 76 general practitioners in 75 health centers, referrals and sputum smear examinations for patients increased. The mean number of drugs prescribed per patient decreased by 14.8% and that of antibiotics by 33.3%, while prescriptions for inhaled medications increased. The mean cost of drug prescriptions fell by 26.2%
