Predominant features of MAS occur in the bony skeleton, the skin, the endocrine system, and, in atypical presentatio...

متن کاملCardiac autonomic dysfunction in drug naïve hot water epilepsy
PURPOSE This study aimed to characterize the role of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in hot water epilepsy (HWE). Heart rate variability (HRV) has been established as a good index of cardio-autonomic regulation. METHODOLOGY Forty-five patients with HWE (age: 24.6±10.1 years; M:F=37:8) and 45 age and gender matched controls (age: 24.17±10.37 years; M:F=37:8) were studied. Five minutes res...
