  ABSTRACT: The current study examined beliefs about medication and their association with adherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) among predominantly ethnic minority, low-income patients with epilepsy (PWE). Seventy-two PWE completed standardized questionnaires. The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire was used to assess perceptions about AEDs and medications in general. Adherence was measured with the Morisky 4-item scale and via participant self-rating. On the Morisky scale, 63% of patients endorsed at least one item for nonadherence; forgetfulness was most often endorsed (50%). There was a significant relationship between seizure frequency and adherence (Morisky: r=0.33, P=0.006; self-rating: r=-0.35, P=0.003). Patients with lower self-rated adherence expressed greater concerns about AEDs (r=-0.25, P=0.036) and beliefs that medications, in general, may be intrinsically harmful (r=-0.26, P=0.032) and minimally beneficial (r=0.36; P<0.002), as compared with more adherent patients. These findings inform future educational interventions in this population of PWE.

• Article: Multisystem revascularization.

  ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis affects all major vascular territories. Both surgical and endovascular revascularization techniques have evolved, with more and more patients presenting with disease in multiple vascular beds. This can lead to difficult decision-making and the potential for complications. In this article, we review the available literature to help the clinician decide on optimum sequence, timing, and mode of multisystem revascularization.
