New imaging technologies have advanced our ability to localize the epileptogenic zone in patients with epilepsy. As a result of the constant improvement of the image quality, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the most important ancillary tool in the management of patients with epilepsy. Magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of patients with epilepsy should be done using a special temporal lobe protocol and read by physicians experienced with the findings in patients with epilepsy. On the other hand, in the healthy populations, incidental structural brain abnormalities have been reported in 18% of people. Incidental, subtle, or unexpected structural …

In this narrative review, we will discuss some of the significant risks and dramatic consequences that are associated with epilepsy: depression, suicide, seizure-related injuries, and mortality, both in adults and in children. Considering the high prevalence of depression among people with epilepsy (PWE), routine and periodic screening of all PWE for early detection and appropriate management of depression is recommended. PWE should be screened for suicidal ideation regularly and when needed, patients should be referred for a psychiatric evaluation and treatment. When starting an antiepileptic drug (AED) or switching from one to another AED, patients should be advised to report …

During the Wild West era of American history (approximately 1870-1900), at least 53 dermatologists settled between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Coast. In 1870, two dermatologists began their practice in the city of St Louis, Missouri (William Augustus Hardaway and Solomon Claiborne Martin, Sr) and one dermatologist started his practice in San Francisco, California (George J. Bucknall). By 1900, 50 more dermatologists had settled in 19 cities located in the American West (Tables 1,2). There, they established practices, initiated academic programs, and pioneered dermatology as a medical specialty in the western United States. This contribution provides brief biographic profiles …
