Correction to: Adjunctive Brivaracetam in Focal Epilepsy: Real‑World Evidence from the BRIVAracetam add‑on First Italian netwoRk Study (BRIVAFIRST)
2021
In randomized controlled trials, add-on brivaracetam (BRV) reduced seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Studies performed in a naturalistic setting are a useful complement to characterize the drug profile.This multicentre study assessed the effectiveness and tolerability of adjunctive BRV in a large population of patients with focal epilepsy in the context of real-world clinical practice.The BRIVAFIRST (BRIVAracetam add-on First Italian netwoRk STudy) was a retrospective, multicentre study including adult patients prescribed adjunctive BRV. Patients with focal epilepsy and 12-month follow-up were considered. Main outcomes included the rates of seizure-freedom, s…

Planning reaching and grasping an object requires selective computation of extrinsic (i.e. distance) and intrinsic (i.e. size) object properties, respectively. However, the mechanism for this selection can be partially effective in this process, and nonrelevant object attributes can be used. An experiment was carried out to test whether linguistic information on object properties, as well as sensorial object information, could be automatically involved in movement planning. Subjects were required to reach and grasp a wooden bar, that could have two sizes and could be placed at two spatial positions. An Italian word, either lungo (long) or corto (short) was written on the external face of th…
