Discussion on the causes of failure of surgical treatment of partial epilepsies.

Despite continuous improvement in diagnosis and surgery, persistence of seizures following surgical treatment of partial epilepsies still occurs in a relevant number of cases (30--40%). The analysis of personal material and of data from the literature appears to indicate that relevant causes of surgical failure are difficulties in delimitation of the epileptogenic zone and therefore of complete surgical removal. These difficulties are illustrated and discussed.

"Chronic" electrodes in SEEG exploration of partial epilepsies.

The advantages of the stereoelectroencephalographic study of epileptic patients prior to surgical treatment through "chronically" implanted multielectrodes are illustrated and discussed. The reliability of the information provided by the cerebral electrical activity is strengthened by recording the patient on different days, in different physiological conditions and under different pharmacological treatment. The consistency of some of the electrical abnormalities recorded gives them a strong diagnostic value.

[Research on the epileptogenic complex].

The great importance of a correct definition of the lesional-functional epileptogenic complex for the surgical treatment of the epileptic patient is stressed. The means utilizable to reach the knowledge of the topographic organizatif the latters are descri0ed and discussed in detail: the scalp EEG, the examinations based on the EEG effects of endocarotid injection of barbiturates and convulsants, the EEG during nocturnal sleep, the direct recording of electrocerebral activity from the cortical surface (electro-corticography) and from deep cerebral structures (stereoelectro-encephalography). The relative importance of the informations provided by the electrical activity of "lesional" type, by the interictal epileptic activity and by the ictal one is analyzed. The utilization of methodologies of automatic elaboration of the electrocerebral signals is reminded. Finally, the different modes of application of the means of analysis mentioned above in the different epileptic patients are discussed and exemplified.

[The home risk added to industrial work].

The research carried on 50 women and 50 men working in an electronic industry gives following results: a) housekeeping work represents a significant risk area in addition to industrial extra domestic work; b) domestic work load affects more women (100%) than men (58%); c) this condition gets worse by poor family cooperation and by almost complete absence of public welfare centres; d) household risk, as mentioned above, is an important element of women social disparity to approach and to make industrial work.
