@united We have the united CC and were told the premier access lane was closed, so not much good my loyalty gets me with united. Then, after waiting two hours in line, we luckily had 1 hour to spare but then were denied entry into the United Club because we had daily passes

@united My experience at FLL was absolutely the worst I’ve ever had in 20 years of flying. My wife and I waited over 2 hours just to drop my bags which were pre-checked with two screaming children (ages 4 and 2) with no alternative from the employees. We were told “too bad”

Can #GLP1 agonist prevent #seizure and #epilepsy ? Our meta‐analysis shows that they have anti-epileptogenic potential in #older adults.

Brilliant effort by @Udeept_Sindhu: a ⭐️ applying #NeuroMatch #neurotwitter

@zach_london @benjbrewster Lateral tongue bite has great evidence (see https://t.co/hz6oj0S0Ap) and is a question I absolutely hang my hat on. Urinary incontinence I could leave for sure and I don’t even ask (see https://t.co/0iWZkPpult). My favorite hang my hat on question is the post-event amnesia!

Why do full callosotomy if posterior half only callosotomy would impact epileptic falls? What’s the rationale? Dr. Paglioli will try to convince you to try this. An important topic in #epilepsySurgery @HiddenBrain @AmEpilepsySoc

Our model of the process related to classifying IEDs on EEG has 2 parameters: noise/uncertainty level (reader's skill in recognizing IEDs) & threshold (reader's personal preference as an over- or under-caller). @EpiDisorders
