Background: Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) find difficulties in completing their education due to many reasons.

Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate the level of education that refractory epilepsy patients are receiving at school. The reason for difficulties confronted by the patients and shortage of attendance at school. Method: An approved survey was distributed among 187 adult and children patients of refractory epilepsy at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, KSA. Result: In our prospective cohort study, we were able to analyze the level of education that drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients receive at school and the level of education acquired by the DRE patients. The responses were used to evaluate the causes of absence from school, difficulties confronted by the patients, and how drug resistance in patients hinders daily tasks. A question about the mental health of the patient, the reason for the shortage of attendance at school, or any social aspects that are making complications in attaining the right amount of education. Conclusion: A significant number of patients had no problem while attending school. Whereas, the graph had a significant value when correlated with age and education about epilepsy. This means that the patients attend the school but lack knowledge or awareness about epilepsy. We should work on increasing awareness amongest the community.

This article presents the results of the market study of a proposal for a medical unit of specialties in breast pathologies in the state of Tlaxcala, in which the feasibility of implementing this type of unit was determined; which could be considered a pioneer in the state. Since there are no hospitals with this level of care for women with these pathologies, there is a high mortality due to not having sufficient resources to attend to other states. Currently, the state of Tlaxcala does not have a radiotherapy service in the public or private sector. The demand for health services has increased in the state. This is due to the rapid demographic growth of the region; however, it can be said that the demand for health services specialized in breast pathologies is unsatisfied, since the health centers within the state do not cover what is required by the market in this area.
