    Abstract Brain surgery is the only curative treatment for people with focal epilepsy, but it is unclear whether this induces active disease in multiple sclerosis (MS). This creates a barrier to evaluate MS patients for epilepsy surgery. We present two cases of successful epilepsy surgery in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy and stable MS and give an overview of the existing literature. (1) a 28-year-old woman with seizures arising from a right basal temporo-occipital ganglioglioma was seizure-free after surgery, without MS relapse but with one new MS lesion postsurgically. (2) a 46-year-old woman with seizures arising from a natalizumab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) lesion in the right frontal lobe was seizure-free after surgery preceded by extraoperative subdural electrocorticography, with new subclinical MS lesions. We are the first to report brain surgery in a PML survivor. Both patients stabilized radiologically after initiating second-line therapies. Successful epilepsy surgery can substantially increase the quality of life in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy and MS. With increasing survival rates of brain tumors and PML, the risk-benefit ratio of epilepsy surgery compared to a potential MS relapse after surgery becomes critically important. Shared decision-making is valuable for balancing the risks related to both diseases.

    Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a pathologically heterogeneous disease affecting people of all ages. The highest incidence of TBI occurs in young people and the average age is 30 to 40 years. Injury grading may range from mild with a low frequency (1 per 100) of life-threatening intracranial hematoma that needs immediate neurosurgical operation and very low mortality (1 per 1,000) to severe with a high likelihood of life-threatening intracranial hematoma (up to 1 per 3), a 40% case fatality rate and a high disability rate (2 per 3) in survivors. Estimation of the prognosis in severe TBI is currently based on demographic and clinical predictors, including age, Glasgow Coma Scale, pupillary reactions, extracranial injury (hypotension and hypoxia) and computed tomography indices (brain swelling, focal mass lesions, subarachnoid hemorrhage). Biomarkers reflecting damage to neurons and astrocytes may add important complementary information to clinical predictors of outcome and provide insight into the pathophysiology of TBI.

    Abstract One of the most common types of cancer in men is prostate cancer (PCa). Biopsies guided by bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid PCa diagnosis. Previous works have mostly focused on either detection or classification of PCa from MRI. In this work, however, we present a neural network that simultaneously detects and grades cancer tissue in an end-to-end fashion. This is more clinically relevant than the classification goal of the ProstateX-2 challenge. We used the dataset of this challenge for training and testing. We use a 2D U-Net with MRI slices as input and lesion segmentation maps that encode the Gleason Grade Group (GGG), a measure for cancer aggressiveness, as output. We propose a method for encoding the GGG in the model target that takes advantage of the fact that the classes are ordinal. Furthermore, we evaluate methods for incorporating prostate zone segmentations as prior information, and ensembling techniques. The model scored a voxel-wise weighted kappa of 0.446 ±0.082 and a Dice similarity coefficient for segmenting clinically significant cancer of 0.370 ±0.046, obtained using 5-fold cross-validation. The lesion-wise weighted kappa on the ProstateX-2 challenge test set was 0.13 ±0.27. We show that our proposed model target outperforms standard multiclass classification and multi-label ordinal regression. Additionally, we present a comparison of methods for further improvement of the model performance.

    Abstract Conventional transdermal drug patches have been on the market since 1997 but their applicability for drug delivery is limited: currently only nearly two dozen of molecules have been approved by the regulatory authorities for transdermal administration and have reached the market. The possibilities for drug delivery via the skin can be improved and expanded by using microneedle patch technologies. However, most microneedle patches focus on the delivery of low amounts of drugs that are generally very potent due to the small dimensions of the microneedle systems. In this study nanoporous microneedle arrays (npMNAs) were combined with a liquid drug reservoir. The parameters that influence the diffusion of memantine from the drug reservoir through the npMNAs in an acceptor solution were investigated. Based on these results a model was developed to predict the diffusion of low-molecular-weight drugs as a function of npMNA properties (i.e., backplate thickness and surface area) and reservoir properties (i.e., volume and drug concentration). This generated an in silico model to predict the release of low-molecular-weight drug from a drug reservoir through a microneedle array into receptor solution, showed a good correlation with the delivery of memantine in a preclinical minipig study. The drug release rates by the npMNAs can be tuned and allow for both zero and first order release kinetics. Summarizing, this work shows that the npMNA technology is a versatile drug delivery system. The npMNAs can be combined with a (seamlessly connected) external drug reservoir and this integrated drug delivery system can be used to deliver at least 9 mg of memantine over 72 h in a preclinical minipig study.
