An electrochemical pipette for the study of drug metabolite
… one and two, we present a thin-layer electrode (TLE) that addresses the needs of both analytical and synthetic electrochemical generation of drug metabolites. TLE’s ability to conduct experiments on a minute-to-hour timescale allows for detailed observation of reaction mechanisms for metabolites …

A qualitative analysis of figural memory performance in persons with epilepsy
… with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) on a figural reproduction task, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF). The Boston Qualitative Scoring System (BQSS) was used to examine whether qualitative features of ROCF performance could discriminate between those with right and left …

Executive Function in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Can markers of disease severity and psychological factors differentiate types of cognitive impairment?
… severity on executive abilities in patients with TLE. Specifically, we were interested in building a model of disease severity that includes seizure duration, seizure frequency, and hippocampal sclerosis to determine whether each of these clinical variables uniquely contributes to performance on …

Localization of seizure foci in pediatric populations : development of a predictive pediatric model
… symptomatic epilepsies: temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE). Past findings, primarily with adults, have supported a localizationist model of focal epilepsy. Based on these studies, it was hypothesized that the TLE group would perform better on measures of executive …

An electrochemical pipette with thin-layer design for rapid electrosynthesis and mechanistic study of the catalytic reactions
… layer. The fabricated thin layer electrode (TLE) is independent of mass transfer and allows electrolysis to be performed within minutes owing to its high surface (A)/ volume (v) ratio. The utility of the TLE electrode for parallel electrosynthesis applications was benchmarked using …

Using Study Circles in the Workplace as an Educational Method of Facilitating Readjustment After a Traumatic Life Experience
… who have had a traumatic life experience (TLE) and are returning to the workplace face a difficult road to recovery. The workplace as it exists today is not well equipped to handle such individuals. Managers and co-workers lack knowledge of a recovery framework to facilitate and support the …

Test re-test reliability of the Boston Naming Test and the Visual Naming Test on normal subjects with a comparison to subjects with complex partial seizure disorder.
… subjects with left temporal lobe epilepsy (L-TLE) and right temporal lobe epilepsy (R-TLE), respectively were administered the BNT. The L-TLE group performed significantly worse on the BNT compared to the normal and the R-TLE. The R-TLE group scored significantly lower on the BNT than the …

Neuropsychological Profiles in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With and Without a History of Traumatic Brain Injury
… observed in those with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Language and verbal memory are often impaired in individuals with left TLE and visuospatial and visual memory can be impaired in patients with right TLE. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common known cause of epilepsy. Given the …

Neuropsychological and functional magnetic resonance imaging investigations of anterior temporal lobe language function in patients with epilepsy : a pilot study
… during surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and although classical language models implicate the ATL in language function, and naming difficulties are commonly reported by TLE patients post-surgically, the role of the ATL in language is not well understood. The present study aimed to …

Determining clinically relevant neuropsychological change in an epilepsy sample
… undergoing surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, potentially confounding issues such as practice effects and low test-retest reliability may influence a person’s test score when they are given the same neuropsychological test on a second occasion, such as following surgery. …

Investigations into the cellular and molecular changes in the amygdala in models of temporal lobe epilepsy and maternal immune activation
… amygdala in models of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and maternal immune activation (MIA). The kainic acid (KA) model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) was used to induce Ammon’s-horn sclerosis (AHS) and to investigate behavioural and cytoarchitectural changes that occur in the amygdala related to …

Advanced clinical MRI for better outcome in epilepsy surgery. Focusing on fMRI and prediction of verbal memory decline.
… with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with mixed handedness and 10 controls (paper III) and 14 TLE patients eligible for resective surgery (paper IV), respectively. A bootstrap algorithm was used to calculate lateralization indices (LI) and LI-curves. In paper IV, a clinical risk …

An analysis of selected secretion systems of Pseudomonas species
… widespread superfamily of T6SS lipase effectors (Tle) was assessed in metagenomes from various environments. The abundance of the Tle superfamily and individual families varied between niches, suggesting there is niche specific selection and specialisation of Tle. Experimental work also discovered …
