[Benefit of surgery in a case of negative motor focal epileptic seizures secondary to parietal cortical dysplasia].
Focal atonic seizures are recognized rarely as ictal phenomena, they can correspond to both generalized epilepsy and focal epilepsy. The areas of the brain involved in the management of this type of seizure are: the negative motor area and the primary motor and primary somatosensory cortices, although the neurophysiology that generates them is still unclear. ⋯ A scalp Video EEG and then a Stereo EEG was performed, defining the epileptogenic area and its relationship with eloquent areas. Surgical resection of the lesion was performed, achieving complete seizure control.

Oral cavity HPV infections are associated with a subgroup of cancers whose prevalence is increasing worldwide. HIV infected people are in an increased risk of contracting HPV infection and developing cancer. The present study reveals the frequency and genotypic variability of this virus in the oral cavity and its association with probable risk factors in an HIV+ population of the province of Corrientes. ⋯ Collecting baseline epidemiological data in this type of vulnerable population helps to clarify the natural history of the virus in extragenital locations and focus on regional particularities that allow the development of health policies in accordance with the magnitude of the regional problem.

The scientific, technological, and economic development of medicinal cannabis requires the evolution of public regulations and policies that address the phenomenon of the rediscovery of the scientific and therapeutic power of medicinal cannabis of pharmaceutical quality. To address the problem of the non-existence of cannabisderived products from the national industry with health approval, the Government of Jujuy decided to implement a comprehensive state approach to public health. ⋯ The program has been in force since 2017, focusing on the challenges of a developing national regulatory landscape that coexists with the stigmatization of the cannabis plant in the social and medical framework, the difficulties of financing and the scarce world evidence in effective health plans of medical cannabis. Our experience can collaborate with other health administrators, with similar or different socio-demographics and regulatory environment, to resolve barriers to access to medical cannabis and improve the conditions of patients who require it.
