Patterns of muscle activation during generalized tonic and tonic-clonic epileptic seizures.
PURPOSE Tonic seizures and the tonic phase of tonic-clonic epileptic seizures are defined as "sustained tonic" muscle contraction lasting a few seconds to minutes. Visual inspection of the surface electromyogram (EMG) during seizures contributed considerably to a better understanding and accurate diagnosis of several seizure types. However, quantitative analysis of the surface EMG during the ep...
متن کاملAcute Phase Reactants as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke
Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...
متن کاملDisinhibition-induced transitions between absence and tonic-clonic epileptic seizures
Electrophysiological experiments have long revealed the existence of two-way transitions between absence and tonic-clonic epileptic seizures in the cerebral cortex. Based on a modified spatially-extended Taylor &Baier neural field model, we here propose a computational framework to mathematically describe the transition dynamics between these epileptic seizures. We first demonstrate the existen...
متن کاملAutomated Algorithm for Generalized Tonic–Clonic Epileptic Seizure Onset Detection Based on sEMG Zero-Crossing Rate
Patients are not able to call for help during a generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizure. Our objective was to develop a robust generic algorithm for automatic detection of tonic-clonic seizures, based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals suitable for a portable device. Twenty-two seizures were analysed from 11 consecutive patients. Our method is based on a high-pass filtering with a cu...
متن کاملA Maximum Entropy Approach for Predicting Epileptic Tonic-Clonic Seizure
The development of methods for time series analysis and prediction has always been and continues to be an active area of research. In this work, we develop a technique for modelling chaotic time series in parametric fashion. In the case of tonic-clonic epileptic electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis, we show that appropriate information theory tools provide valuable insights into the dynamics ...
