Heart rate (HR) changes associated with seizures are promising biomarkers in epilepsy. ⋯ Our study supports previous studies showing the presence of increased peri-ictal HR and also provides new insights by comparing focal and generalized motor seizures. We think that our findings may contribute to the development of early warning signs in epilepsy patients.

It is a common practice to subjectively categorize cleft lip deformities into narrow and wide cleft. The proposed grading of unilateral cleft lip can serve as a predictive factor of the difficulties to be encountered during repair and the expected outcome of surgery. ⋯ This grading of unilateral cleft lip helps in objective preoperative assessment of the severity and in predicting the difficulty expected during lip repair. It is also helpful in assigning clefts to trainees and in determining which patients should be referred to an experienced surgeon.

Epidural fibrosis is one of the problems that can be seen after spinal surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible preventive role of medical ozone (O) treatment on epidural fibrosis. ⋯ Histological results suggest that medical O treatment after L can be used as an alternative method to prevent epidural fibrosis. Further studies with wide cohorts and interval measures are required to detail the effects of doses.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of training on women with postpartum sexual dysfunction: A randomized controlled trial.
In the postpartum period, changes including pain during intercourse, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, and failure to reach orgasm can affect a woman's sexual response cycle. ⋯ Our data showed a positive change in the sexual dysfunction scores of women, suggesting the education program was successful.

Review Case Reports
Severe Thrombocytopenia with Acute Cerebral Infarction: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Common causes of thrombocytopenia include pseudo-thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, decreased bone marrow production, and increased platelet destruction or depletion. The main clinical manifestation is bleeding, and thrombosis-related complications are rare. This article reports an 87-year-old woman with severe thrombocytopenia for more than 7 years. ⋯ Our case is different from the causes of cerebral infarction reported in previous articles, so the relationship between thrombocytopenia and acute cerebral infarction needs further study. The patient, in this case, was not given anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy but recovered well. It shows that individualized treatment is effective.
